How can beginners avoid stalling when driving?

Here are specific methods for beginners to avoid stalling when driving: 1. Control the clutch properly: When starting, controlling the clutch is key to avoiding stalling. Beginners often struggle with clutch control, especially in manual transmission vehicles. Poor clutch control can easily lead to stalling. Therefore, when starting, press the clutch firmly with your left foot, hold it steady when lifting halfway, and then slowly release the clutch as the vehicle begins to move. 2. Avoid driving at high gears with low speeds: During normal driving, if the vehicle is in a high gear at low speeds, the engine will gradually start to shake, and the power will not keep up, making it easy to stall. Therefore, beginners should find the right time to shift gears. Generally, 40 km/h corresponds to 3rd gear, 50 km/h to 4th gear, and 60 km/h to 5th gear, and so on.
I also used to stall a lot when I first started driving. The key lies in clutch control. You need to release the clutch slowly and find that engagement point where the engine connects with the wheels. Practice on flat ground initially, don't rush, feel the car's vibration. Gently press the accelerator a bit to stabilize the RPM. If you stall more often on hills, I recommend practicing hill starts in neutral with the handbrake first. Once you're proficient, try the half-clutch method on slopes. Remember, if you stall, don't panic - just pull the handbrake, shift to neutral, and restart. Practice more on parking lot ramps, and you'll see smoother performance within days. Be patient, all beginners go through this phase. With time, your muscles will memorize the movements, and problems will naturally decrease.
