Is it necessary to shift to second gear when crossing an intersection?

[CamillaLynn]

Shifting gears is not mandatory. Additional information: Reason: In actual driving, you can shift gears either during the turn or after completing the turn. When starting, shift into first gear, gently lift the clutch until the car body slightly vibrates, then release the brake (beginners are advised to keep the brake pressed while lifting the clutch). If the time is short, simply brake and shift to first gear, following the same starting procedure as mentioned earlier. The principle for crossing an intersection: first slow down, then look, and finally proceed. You must reduce speed, and whether to shift to second gear depends on whether the speed meets the gear-shifting condition. When shifting gears, pay attention to the coordination between the clutch pedal, accelerator pedal, and gear lever.
