Dear All, Taking advantage of Summer Holiday to my father, We decided to learn Car Driving. So We joined the Driving Class. At the end of my first day class, I thought that it will take too long time to drive a Car. But many experienced drivers claim it does not take too long. Hope to say like them. On the first day, I learnt how to use car Key and how to keep hand during gear change.I sat on driver's seat and the instructor gave me guidelines. As traffic wasn't heavy, I was too scared to go very fast.Almost four days over. Important points for a newbie :- • Press the accelerator as gently as possible. • Always press the brake pedal with your right foot. • You need to press the accelerator immediately after changing gears. • Always use the clutch while shifting gears or else you’ll kill the car. • Always release the clutch gently after changing gears. • Use the horn at every turn and street when you’re new. • Always press the clutch fully or you’ll destroy the clutch plates. • Don’t brake too much, it kills the mileage • Don’t change gears very often, it only complicates things. Steps For Changing Gear * Release the Accelerator * Press the Clutch Fully * Change the Gear * Release the the clutch gently after changing Gears Do all share your driving Tips and Experience. If there is any misguide on my points, Please Correct me. Regards Sugi
