Can You Shift Directly from 4th Gear to 2nd Gear in Subject 3?
1 Answers
In the Subject 3 exam, you cannot skip gears when shifting up or down; gear changes must be done step by step. Therefore, you cannot shift directly from 4th gear to 2nd gear. You must first shift from 4th gear to 3rd gear, and then from 3rd gear to 2nd gear. The specific steps for shifting from 4th gear to 2nd gear are as follows: When the vehicle is in 4th gear, the speed is above 40 km/h. To shift down to 3rd gear, you must reduce the speed to below 38 km/h, as the speed range for 3rd gear is between 15 km/h and 38 km/h. Therefore, press the brake to reduce the speed below 38 km/h, release the accelerator, fully depress the clutch with your left foot, then use your right hand to shift from 4th gear to 3rd gear, and finally, slowly release the clutch with your left foot. Next, to shift from 3rd gear to 2nd gear, the speed range for 2nd gear is between 10 km/h and 25 km/h. Press the brake to reduce the speed below 25 km/h, release the accelerator, fully depress the clutch with your left foot, then use your right hand to shift from 3rd gear to 2nd gear, and finally, slowly release the clutch with your left foot. Master the basic driving techniques, develop the fundamental ability to control the vehicle, and become proficient in the basic methods of driving on the test course and road.
