- brake pedal
- Insert the key and twist to start.
- Gearing
- To go forward, shift into D gear.
- If you want to move backwards first, for example, if the car is parked with its rear facing out, then shift into R gear.
- When reversing the car, look carefully in the rear-view mirror, then reach your left arm onto the shoulder restraint of the driver’s seat. in order to be able to turn left to look behind as well.
- Slowly release your foot from the brake.
To make it move slowly, congratulations for taking the first step in driving.
- Gently tap the accelerator to speed up little by little.
- Accelerate
- You should accelerate as high as required in that area. If on the main road don’t drive too slow but don’t drive too fast. mainly based on traffic conditions.
- If the cars around you on the road are slowing down try to drive at the same speed first to prevent collisions.
- If those cars drive faster than the law. You don’t have to drive or break the rules, but you should at least speed up a bit. to prevent it from obstructing or affecting other cars.

- Steer the steering wheel well

- When turning, turn the steering wheel down to the side you are turning. by using the other hand to rotate up as well This technique is known as up-down steering.
- Time to take a sharp turn while running slowly Use the cross-hand turning technique, which is still turning in the same way. But let’s turn the hand down. Reach out and grab the steering wheel on the upward swivel side. To help turn better when turning.
- Know the operation of the brakes
You should study whether Your brakes speed up before the car comes to a stop. How slow or how fast when driving at different speeds.
- Try to drive at least 1 block away from the car in front. in case of sudden braking will not collide.
- When driving fast, you should allow more than one distance for safe braking. You may use the 2 second technique, i.e. you should be about 2 seconds away from the vehicle in front of you to be considered a safe distance. but must take into account road conditions and weather conditions as well.
- Try not to brake suddenly. In addition to emergencies Sudden braking will cause the cars behind you to hit you.

- Signal about 5 seconds before changing lanes.
- Before taking sharp turns in the parking lot.

Step 4: How to learn to drive a manual transmission car

Although there are some details that are different. But some follow the same steps, such as:
- The process of checking the car before driving, such as adjusting the seat and mirrors. including eliminating distractions.
- Turning on the turn signals properly.
- How to change lanes.
- Situations where wipers and headlights are required.
- The position of the hands on the steering wheel.
- Learn how to control the car
Most people agree that Driving lessons of a manual transmission car is much more difficult and complicated than an automatic transmission. Because there are more steps to drive but they also agreed that Manual transmission cars are fun to drive and worth more. Because it will be like you are part of it. If you have a manual transmission car You should also consider two additional things:
- Clutch:
This component controls the coordination between the engine and gearbox. Pressing on the clutch releases the clutch. to cut off the traction of the engine from the gearbox clutch release section This will reconnect the engine to the gearbox. which while stepping on the clutch Your car will be in neutral gear. No matter what gear it is going to be. exist or not When releasing the clutch, it will keep the car in the current gear that is in.
- Gear lever:
Gear shift This can be done by moving the lever bar. This may be called the gear lever, gear stick, gear lever, gear shifter. or whatever but same meaning Gear number and gearing direction May vary for each car model. but by standard There must be a gear N or neutral gear is essentially the same. and followed by gears 1-5 or 1-6, depending on the last model, is the reverse gear or R
- Start the car:
It will be more difficult than starting an automatic gear car. And need to practice more as well, so when learning to drive You should be in a large area that is free from obstructions. Otherwise, accidents may easily occur. Then follow these steps:
Start by stepping on the clutch
Normally, driving lessons of a manual transmission car will not start. If you don’t step on the clutch first
- After starting the car Keep your foot on the brakes and release the handbrake.
- If going forward Then move the gear lever to gear 1, if going backwards, go to gear R.
- As you slowly release the clutch, slowly depress the accelerator at the same time.
- You will hear the engine speed up. and may hear or feel the clutch acting as a connection If the car moves without delay Show that you’ve done well! You’ve started the engine and passed first gear.
- Change the gear to the desired speed
You can shift to other gears. higher in order Just like when you shift from neutral to 1st, but first, be aware:
Go into gear
- You have to go into gear like this: depress the clutch to disengage it from the gearbox. Rock the gear lever to shift gears. Slowly release your foot from the clutch. for the clutch to work. by feeling less and less pressure while the other foot presses on the accelerator.
Try to visualize or feel the pressure
- Try to visualize or feel the pressure of your foot pressing on the clutch. with the foot used to step on the accelerator to have the weight to match each other, similar to playing with wood between the two sides. when one side rises The other party landed with a balanced weight.
Stepping on the accelerator
- Gradually stepping on the accelerator while relaxing the clutch It will help to move the gear smoother. It may take some practice. But once you get to the feeling between the accelerator and clutch. It will become natural.
- Keep shifting higher gears
Each car has its own speed range for each gear. But some people may teach that to shift gears when the engine reaches the specified speed.
- You can use listening. in deciding when to shift gears
- Brake properly
Depress the clutch and engage neutral while the car is braking. Putting it in neutral gear This will cause the engine to not go into gear. and reduces the force of the vehicle. while stepping on the brakes to slow down
- You can save fuel and preserve the lifespan of your brakes by shifting gears down to help slow down. which requires expertise, at first just step on the brakes
- Park your car
After you’ve found a good spot to park your car, you should learn how to properly park a manual transmission. In the following order:
- Into any gear Most often used reverse gear or first gear. If you put neutral gear The car may be able to move (Or you can use the handbrake method)
- Pull the key out of the starter.
