How Should Beginner Drivers Practice Their Driving Feel?
1 Answers
Driving should be comfortable, so the first thing a learner should do after getting in the car is to adjust the seat position. The forward and backward distance of the seat should be adjusted so that the left foot can easily and comfortably press the clutch all the way down. While pressing and releasing the clutch, use the right hand to adjust the seat position forward or backward based on the comfort level until it feels satisfactory. Curves are essentially just left and right turns. The essence of turning lies in the coordination between the steering wheel and the front of the car. You need to understand how much the steering wheel is turned and where the front of the car is positioned. When practicing curve driving feel, the focus should be on experiencing and memorizing the turning radius and arc of the vehicle, especially mastering the arc of right turns. Learning to drive is essentially about mastering the clutch. The clutch should be finely adjusted around the semi-engaged position. The clutch is not fixed in one position—if it's released too much, the speed will increase; if released too little, the car may stall. The clutch, gear, and brake must be well-coordinated, and you should never shift gears without fully pressing the clutch. Many beginner drivers can get familiar with driving forward after some time, but reversing requires much more practice. To develop a feel for reversing, it boils down to establishing a close connection between the steering wheel, rearview mirrors, and the rear of the car, and coordinating them effectively.
