Must You Shift to First Gear for Pulling Over in Subject Three?

[LeAnna]

There are no explicit gear requirements for this maneuver, but for ease of operation, it is recommended to use first gear to complete the pulling-over action. Procedure for pulling over: Upon hearing the voice command to pull over, apply the brake to decelerate, gradually downshifting to first gear, then control the speed by depressing the clutch. When parking, activate the right turn signal, then make a noticeable head turn to check the right-side rearview mirror. If there are no vehicles approaching from the right rear, steer to the right while applying the brake, simultaneously depressing the clutch with your left foot. When you are 30 cm from the right curb, straighten the steering wheel and bring the vehicle to a complete stop by the roadside. Precautions for pulling over: Do not stop at intersections, railroad crossings, curves, narrow roads, narrow bridges, steep slopes, tunnels, or within 20 meters of these locations. Do not stop in sections with pedestrian guardrails (hedges), crosswalks, construction zones, or opposite obstacles. Do not stop in front of bus stops, tram stops, emergency stations, gas stations, fire hydrants, or fire stations, or within 30 meters of these locations.
