How to Use Gear Shifting for Beginners When Driving

[VanTravis]

The method for beginners to use gear shifting when driving is: 1. Confirm good road conditions ahead before upshifting; 2. The sequence is: slightly press the accelerator, release the accelerator, fully depress the clutch, then upshift; 3. Be clear about the relationship between the accelerator and clutch - do not press them simultaneously; 4. Do not look down at the gearshift; 5. Shift gears gently; 6. Downshift after decelerating, and decelerate by braking first; 7. There's no need to downshift to first gear when stopping; 8. Use second gear for turns, first gear for U-turns, third gear for traffic lights, and pass pedestrian crossings at about 30 mph in third gear. The precautions for beginners when shifting gears are: 1. Ensure accurate gear positioning, appropriate force, and swift, precise shifting; 2. Upshift sequentially but downshift can skip gears, and any gear can be used for stopping; 3. Accelerate before upshifting and decelerate before downshifting.
