Should the clutch be pressed all the time when practicing driving?

[LaMiranda]

When starting to practice driving for a driver's license, you should not keep pressing the clutch all the time. You can keep pressing it when practicing starting, but once you master starting, there's no need to keep pressing it. Clutch is needed for starting: Since starting requires relatively high control of the clutch, any mistake may cause the car to stall when starting, so you can press the clutch when starting. However, after the speed increases, the clutch is only needed when shifting gears, so there is no need to keep pressing the clutch while driving. Moreover, doing so will increase the burden on the left foot. Operation of pressing the clutch: When starting, your foot must step on the clutch, and initially press the clutch all the way down. Then slowly release the clutch. When the clutch engages, gently press the accelerator, stabilize for a moment, and remove your foot from the clutch. Do not always keep your foot on the clutch. After the car starts moving, glance at the tachometer. Shift gears when it reaches 2 (some car models can shift at 2.5 or 3). Alternatively, you can refer to the speedometer—generally, shift to 2nd gear at 10 km/h, 3rd gear at 20 km/h, and so on.
