How to Start and Stop a Car for Beginners
2 Answers
Methods for beginners to start and stop a car are as follows: 1. Starting: Sit properly in the car and start the engine, press the clutch and shift to first gear, slowly release the clutch while gently pressing the accelerator, and the car will start moving once the clutch is fully released; 2. Stopping: Check the right rear-view mirror for any vehicles behind, turn on the right indicator and slowly pull over to the right side to stop. Safe driving methods: 1. Check the vehicle condition to avoid driving with potential hazards; 2. Fasten the seatbelt to enhance safety awareness; 3. Avoid fatigued driving; 4. Never drive under the influence of alcohol; 5. Pay attention to road conditions in bad weather; 6. Handle any unexpected situations on the road properly; 7. Obey traffic rules and don't rush for time.
When I first started driving, I was also very nervous about starting and stopping, but now it's much easier. Before starting, adjust the seat and rearview mirrors, fasten the seatbelt, press the clutch and shift into first gear (for automatic transmission, press the brake and shift into D), and always turn on the turn signal and check the rearview mirror before releasing the handbrake. The key is clutch control: for manual transmission, slowly lift to the biting point until you feel the car slightly vibrate, then gently press the accelerator. Once the car moves, fully release the clutch. For stopping, anticipate in advance: first check the rearview mirror and turn on the right turn signal, slow down, then fully press the clutch (not needed for automatic), and when the speed is almost zero, press the brake. Once stopped, immediately shift into neutral and pull the handbrake. When practicing, find an empty space and try a few times, focusing on feeling the biting point. Once you get used to it, you won’t stall or roll back!
