Can I practice driving with my own car?

You can practice driving with your own car. If you are in a closed and safe environment, it is acceptable to use your own car for practice, but safety must be prioritized. Never practice on public roads, as doing so would be considered unlicensed driving, which can lead to serious consequences if caught or involved in an accident. Practicing steering wheel control: Before officially getting behind the wheel, instructors usually have students master the technique of turning the steering wheel. Therefore, on the first day, instructors typically have students practice on a steering wheel stand for some time before actually driving. Familiarizing with gear positions: The first task when getting into the car is to become familiar with the layout of the gear positions. Understanding the pattern and layout of the gears is crucial to avoid confusion during later tests or the need to look down while shifting gears. Clutch control: Apart from getting a feel for the depth of the clutch, since shifting gears and pressing the clutch require precise timing, instructors will have students gradually sense the timing of shifting and clutch operation during their first driving session. This means pressing the clutch before shifting gears and not attempting to shift gears while releasing the clutch.
