What are the steps for speed control driving training?

[MacStephen]

Move forward and backward while keeping the vehicle moving in a straight line, continuously pressing and releasing the clutch to observe changes in speed and sense the vehicle's vibration state. Most vehicle models use the ball of the foot to press the pedal with the heel resting on the ground, allowing the foot to move back and forth. Learn to recognize the point at which lifting the clutch reaches the semi-engaged state and understand the differences between starting on flat ground and on a slope. When turning the steering wheel to full lock, the left foot should slightly reserve some space to prepare for lifting, as fully locking the wheels creates forward resistance, slowing down the vehicle.

When I first started learning to drive, my instructor taught me that speed control training should be done step by step. It's best to begin in an empty parking lot or on a straight road with few people. Step one: After warming up the car, shift into first or second gear, gently press the accelerator to get the car moving, and maintain a slow speed of 10-20 km/h while driving straight, keeping your eyes focused on the road ahead and ignoring distractions. This helps build a feel for the car. Step two: Practice smooth acceleration—lightly press the accelerator to increase speed to 30-40 km/h, then ease off to decelerate, repeating this over a dozen times while staying relaxed and breathing steadily. The goal is to keep speed fluctuations within 5 km/h. Step three: Add simulated turns, such as circling around cones, maintaining a speed of about 15 km/h to practice smooth steering without jerking the wheel. Take a break after an hour of practice to reflect on mistakes. Stick to this routine for a week, practicing 30 minutes daily, and you'll notice your foot becoming steadier, smoother acceleration, and even better fuel efficiency. The key is patience—don’t rush onto highways prematurely. Safety comes first.

As a veteran driving instructor, I must say speed control is the foundation of all foundations. For beginners, I recommend starting in a closed course. First, familiarize yourself with the seat position to ensure comfort before starting the engine. Begin practicing with low gears like D or first gear: start slowly up to 10 km/h, maintain a steady speed for two minutes; then increase to 20 km/h, practicing breath control to prevent the car from swaying. Next, increase the difficulty: simulate braking to decelerate from 20 km/h to 5 km/h, repeating five times to feel the changes in foot pressure. Then move to more complex scenarios, such as controlling speed on small slopes using light brake assistance. After practice, take notes to identify areas of instability. With repeated practice, you'll naturally master throttle control, leading to more fuel-efficient driving and avoiding rear-end collisions. Practicing three times a week for 40 minutes each session is sufficient.

I usually rely on speed control for a more relaxed driving experience. During practice, pick a weekend morning with empty streets to practice. First, drive at a steady speed of 15 km/h in a straight line, lightly holding the steering wheel with your hands while keeping your eyes focused far ahead; then accelerate slightly to 25 km/h, release the throttle to slow down, and repeat to train hand-foot coordination. Throughout the process, relax your shoulders and avoid stiffness. Try practicing speed control in different road conditions, such as residential streets or slopes, to maintain stable speed. The key is to feel the rhythm with your body, practicing for half an hour before taking a break to drink water and rest. Gradually, muscle memory will develop, making driving smoother and reducing tire wear.
