How to Control Vehicle Speed with the Clutch as a Beginner Driver?
1 Answers
Methods for controlling vehicle speed with the clutch are: 1. The clutch should be pressed quickly and released slowly, controlled with the ball of the foot suspended to avoid slipping or misalignment; 2. Understand the difference between the foot brake and handbrake, apply gradual pressure until the vehicle stops, and avoid frequent sudden braking; 3. Beginner drivers usually start by practicing moving forward and backward. During practice, observe the vehicle speed to get a feel for pressing the clutch, ensuring stable speed control—neither too fast nor too slow; 4. Once straight-line speed control is mastered, when turning the steering wheel, slightly lift the foot to allow the speed to increase slightly, as tire resistance increases during turns, slowing the vehicle. When straightening the wheel, press the clutch slightly more; after straightening, reduced resistance will make the vehicle move faster.
