What are the steps for beginners to practice driving?

Press the clutch pedal with your left foot to engage a low gear, press the accelerator pedal with your right foot, and when the car body slightly vibrates, quickly release the hand brake, then press the accelerator pedal again and slowly lift the clutch pedal. When the clutch pedal is lifted to the semi-engaged position and the engine sound changes, release it immediately.
When I first started learning to drive, everything felt so fresh. The first step was sitting in the driver's seat, adjusting the seat height and rearview mirror angle to ensure a clear view of the rear. Then, I familiarized myself with the positions of various buttons: starting the engine, switching gears (trying both automatic and manual), and practicing starting and stopping in an empty parking lot to get a feel for the sensitivity of the brake pedal. I spent several afternoons repeatedly making slow turns, learning to keep the vehicle moving straight and avoiding wobbling. Only after mastering the basic operations did I dare to drive into the small roads of the neighborhood, adapting to real traffic rules, such as observing pedestrian signals. The entire process requires patience; find a quiet place to practice thoroughly before hitting the road. Safety details like fastening the seatbelt cannot be overlooked, and finally, practice parallel parking more—that part tests coordination the most.
