The version I use is at Drive Mad Unblocked; it plays in the browser with keyboard or touch and saves progress locally.

Watch where the car's weight is. A heavy rear means it will wheelie; a heavy front means it will dive. Adjust with tiny taps.

The most useful habit is braking with reverse before a landing. Touching down level saves more runs than any amount of speed.

Expect a few levels that feel unfair at first. Usually there is a slow, boring line that works every time; find it before trying the fast one.

Later stages add moving platforms, gears and crates that can push you off course. Treat each one like a timing puzzle and count the rhythm before you go.

A full level list lives at all levels, which is handy after switching to a new device.

It is a calm game in a strange way. There is no timer pressure, just you, the car and a slightly ridiculous obstacle.

Whether you have five minutes or an hour, the game scales to it, and that is rare for browser games.

Have fun, drive slowly, and enjoy the crashes. — Drive Mad Unblocked

If one stage keeps beating you, the walkthrough notes at level guide can show the safe line.

What I like most is the honesty of the physics. When you crash, you can see exactly why, and the next attempt is usually better.

Drive Mad is a good example of a game that respects short sessions: one level takes under a minute, and failing teaches you something every time.
