How to Drive a Manual Transmission Car for Beginners

[MacCassidy]

Methods for beginners to drive a manual transmission car: 1. Seating posture technique: After familiarizing with the vehicle, adjust the seat to the correct position, place the right foot lightly on the brake pedal, with an obtuse angle of about 120 degrees between the thigh and calf; 2. Starting technique: When starting a manual transmission car, press the clutch to the bottom and engage first gear, place the right foot hovering above the accelerator, slowly release the clutch while releasing the handbrake and gently pressing the accelerator, then immediately press the accelerator lightly after lifting the left foot pressing the clutch slightly; 3. Downhill technique: Do not coast in neutral when going down long and steep slopes, as relying solely on brakes makes it difficult to slow down quickly in emergencies; 4. Gear control speed technique: Use gears to replace partial braking when controlling speed, let the engine brake when going downhill, and avoid braking downhill; 5. Traffic light technique: When approaching a traffic light, judge the distance in advance, shift to neutral when the green light flashes, and coast to the intersection to wait for the red light.
