Should I shift gears or release the handbrake first in Subject 2?
1 Answers
In Subject 2, you should shift gears first and then release the handbrake. This is because the road surface when the vehicle is parked is not completely flat and may have a slope. If you release the handbrake before shifting gears, the vehicle may roll backward. Here are the relevant details: 1. Starting gear control: Whenever the vehicle moves from a stationary position, the gear should remain in first. 2. Sequential gear shifting: The Subject 2 test strictly prohibits skipping gears. Gear changes must be sequential, such as from first to second or second to third. Otherwise, the test recorder will note this and deduct corresponding points. If you mistakenly shift to the wrong gear, you can immediately return the gear to its original position and shift again. 3. Stable gear shifting: When shifting gears, the clutch must be fully depressed, and you should only shift gears when reaching a certain speed range. 4. Driving speed: Mastering the key points of steering and turning at the right time. Control the driving path properly—the vehicle's path mainly depends on the speed of turning the steering wheel and the driving speed. When reversing, aim for the side line and correct the direction promptly to ensure the vehicle enters the garage straight.
