How can beginners maintain stable speed by controlling the throttle?
2 Answers
When beginners drive and control the throttle, they should step on the throttle pedal gently and release it slowly. The specific control elements are as follows: 1. The three principles of operation: fast, slow, and coordinated. 2. The correct way to press the clutch: when pressing the clutch pedal to control the clutch timing, the accelerator pedal should be released quickly. Note that the left foot should not always rest on the clutch pedal while driving. Press the clutch all the way down and only shift gears after the clutch pedal is fully depressed. 3. Understand how to use the throttle: press gently and release slowly, accelerate in a straight line, apply force softly, avoid being too hasty, use the tip of the foot, and avoid sudden jerks.
After driving for so many years, I deeply understand that mastering the throttle is quite an art for beginners. First, learn to relax your body—don't tense up your legs and feet. Gently rest your right foot on the accelerator and press down slowly, as if touching a gentle little animal. Start with simple scenarios: find an open, straight road and practice accelerating and decelerating repeatedly while keeping your eyes fixed on the speedometer to learn how throttle pressure matches speed response. A common mistake beginners make is pressing too hard, causing sudden speed fluctuations, which is both unsafe and fuel-inefficient. I recommend dedicating half an hour each week to focused practice, gradually building muscle memory. Once you overcome this hurdle, your driving confidence will soar, and you’ll save on fuel costs—why not give it a try? Patience is key; rushing won’t help. Remember, driving is a long-term skill—master the throttle, and you’ll master the journey.
