How to Shift Gears for Beginners Learning to Drive?

[DiPenelope]

For beginners learning to drive, the method of shifting gears is as follows: 1. Start in first gear: When starting the vehicle, press the clutch pedal fully, then gently press the accelerator to around 2000 RPM on the tachometer, release the clutch, and disengage the handbrake to start the vehicle; 2. Shift after starting: Press the clutch pedal, shift out of gear, release the clutch and give a quick press on the accelerator (commonly known as a 'blip'), then press the clutch again and shift into second gear; 3. Reverse gear method: Push straight to the right and then pull down to engage reverse gear. In some vehicles, reverse gear is located to the left of first gear, meaning you need to push further left past first gear before shifting forward. Some vehicles require lifting a button below the gear lever before pushing left and forward to engage reverse, while others need the gear lever to be pressed down before pushing left and forward or right and backward to engage reverse gear.
