What are the gear shifting tips for novice drivers on the road?

[LaMalachi]

Novice drivers should master the timing of gear shifting, ensuring it is quick and smooth. When starting the car, generally use the low gear (first gear) to begin. Once the car is moving, shift up to higher gears promptly as road conditions permit. Generally speaking, higher gears are more fuel-efficient than lower ones, so it's advisable to shift up promptly after starting and avoid driving in low gears for too long. Many novice drivers tend to drive at low speeds, which can result in high engine RPMs and low vehicle speed, leading to fewer miles covered per unit of time and increased fuel consumption. It is recommended that after starting the car, unless it's a cold start in low temperatures, shift up to the appropriate gear as soon as possible.
