Is It Good to Step Hard on the Accelerator When Starting a Car?
1 Answers
Stepping hard on the accelerator when starting a car is not good. It has certain impacts on both the tires and the engine. Moreover, for safety reasons, it's best not to do so. Below are the correct methods for stepping on the accelerator: 1. When the car is starting and the handbrake is not yet released, lightly step on the accelerator to test if various instruments are functioning properly—just a quick step is needed. 2. Generally, when starting, the clutch and accelerator can be pressed simultaneously, but during gear shifting, they should not be pressed together as it can cause unstable driving. 3. For automatic transmission cars, there might be fewer precautions regarding the accelerator. The main thing is to avoid stepping on the accelerator too forcefully. Since the accelerator is quite sensitive, avoid using excessive force. Also, stay relaxed to prevent accidentally mistaking the accelerator for the brake due to nervousness. Safety first—be bold and flexible in your application.
