After entering the car, first adjust the seat, then fasten the seat belt, and subsequently adjust the rearview mirror. First, check if the handbrake is properly engaged, then see if the gear is in neutral, and then check if the light switches have been reset. Release the brake, press the clutch, and start moving when the car slightly vibrates.

When I first got my driver's license, I used to be extremely nervous every time I got into the car. During the second part of the driving test, my fixed routine was: first, sit firmly and adjust the seat height and position to ensure that my feet could comfortably reach the clutch and brake; then adjust the mirrors, both inside and outside, to ensure a clear and wide view; next, fasten the seatbelt—it had to click securely; check that the doors were properly closed and not half-open; insert the key or press the start button, listening for the normal sound of the engine; shift to neutral, release the handbrake, and not rush to move; finally, take a few deep breaths and confirm that no warning lights were lit on the dashboard. This process only took a minute or two, but following the correct sequence helped avoid basic mistakes—my friend lost points for not fastening the seatbelt. Developing these habits during practice ensures you won’t panic during the test, and a calm mindset increases your chances of success. Remember, seat and mirror adjustments are crucial—if they’re not set right, the entire operation can go wrong. It’s best to find your comfortable position during practice beforehand.

As someone who often helps friends practice driving, I've found that the steps after getting in the car are fundamental basics. First, adjust the seat's front/back position and height so that your knee still has a slight bend when the clutch is fully depressed. Adjust both side mirrors to clearly see the wheel positions and rear markings. Buckle the seatbelt immediately—don't wait for the examiner's reminder. Ensure the door is securely closed without gaps. Start the engine and confirm there are no abnormal sounds, with the tachometer functioning normally. Engage first gear or neutral as appropriate—the examiner will instruct during the test. Finally, keep both hands steady on the steering wheel without shaking. Failing this routine directly impacts subsequent maneuvers like reverse parking or parallel parking—I've seen too many people hit poles due to improperly adjusted mirrors. Practice regularly until muscle memory takes over, ensuring smooth test performance.

The brief steps I remembered when learning to drive: Adjust the seat position for comfort after getting in; adjust the rearview mirrors for clear visibility; fasten the seat belt; close the door securely; prepare to operate after starting the engine. Although simple, none can be skipped, or it will affect the test score. Safety comes first.
