How to control the speed at 2 kilometers per hour?

When driving on the highway, whether it's a manual or automatic transmission, the most frequently used control is the accelerator. If you feel the speed is too fast, slightly lift the accelerator. If releasing the accelerator still doesn't maintain a safe distance, you must apply the brakes. It's best to use intermittent braking, or press the brake for a few seconds, release, and then repeat. If you notice an uphill ahead, press the accelerator a bit deeper. Conversely, if you see a downhill ahead, press the accelerator more lightly.
When I first started learning to drive, I often had to reduce the speed to 2 kilometers per hour while practicing reverse parking in the parking lot. It felt like a turtle crawling, but it was quite practical. I found the key was throttle control—no sudden presses, just gently tapping the accelerator pedal with the tip of my foot to keep the engine at idle, allowing the car to move slowly. On flat surfaces, the car could even coast at idle without pressing the accelerator. But on slopes, extra caution was needed—less throttle downhill and a slight touch uphill. This technique was most useful when reversing, especially in tight parking spots, helping avoid bumps with cars in front or behind. I’d remind beginners not to forget to check the rearview mirror and backup camera, and to practice in an empty lot first to get familiar with their car’s idle behavior. On rainy days, the slippery surface makes it trickier, so keeping a foot on the brake as a precaution is wise in case the car unexpectedly speeds up. Once mastered, handling ultra-low speeds becomes effortless—safe and worry-free.
