Gear shifting skill mantra for Subject 3: Right first then left, act immediately, left up right down like a seesaw. Here are some related materials: 1. Subject 3: Subject 3, including road driving skill test and safety civilized driving common sense test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviation for the road driving skill and safety civilized driving common sense test subjects in the motor vehicle driver's test.

Gear shifting requires coordination between hands and feet. My driving instructor always emphasizes these three key points: 'Accelerate before upshifting, decelerate before downshifting, press the clutch fully, and ensure clear gear engagement.' Start in first gear, shift to second when the car moves, switch to third when speed exceeds 30 km/h, and shift to fourth after 40 km/h. Remember never to look down at the gearshift – keep your eyes firmly on the road ahead. When shifting, steady the steering wheel with your left hand while using your right palm to push/pull the gear lever for stability. The clutch must be decisively depressed fully before engaging gears, and when releasing it, remember to ease off the throttle gradually to maintain smooth speed control. The crucial practice is mastering the rhythm between throttle and clutch to avoid jerky movements. Each driving test center may have slight variations in requirements, so it's advisable to reconfirm acceleration/deceleration points along the test route with your instructor before the exam.
