What Should You Learn First When Practicing Driving?
2 Answers
When learning to drive, you should first study the theoretical knowledge of vehicle operation, which is the content of Subject 1. The Subject 1 exam includes: road traffic rules, traffic signals, traffic safety violations and accident handling, regulations on motor vehicle driver's license application and use, motor vehicle registration, and other road traffic safety laws, regulations, and rules. Only after passing the Subject 1 exam can you obtain a learning driving permit. With this permit, you can begin the practical operation of the vehicle. More relevant information is as follows: 1. The vehicle management office should arrange the exam according to the scheduled test site and time: After passing the Subject 1 exam, the applicant can schedule the Subject 2 or Subject 3 road driving skills test. In some areas, applicants can simultaneously schedule the Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skills tests. If the scheduling is successful, the exams can be taken consecutively. After passing both the Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skills tests, the applicant can take the Subject 3 safe and civilized driving knowledge test on the same day. 2. Note: If the vehicle management office cannot arrange the Subject 2 or Subject 3 road driving skills test within 60 days, the applicant can choose to schedule the exam at another test site within the province (autonomous region, municipality directly under the central government).
The first priority in driving practice is to adjust the seat and mirrors properly. Every time you get in the car, adjust the seat to a position where you can easily fully depress the clutch, with your knees slightly bent for optimal comfort. Then, adjust the mirrors: the side mirrors should provide a clear view of the rear wheel tracks, and the central rearview mirror should frame the entire rear windshield. If these adjustments aren't done correctly, you'll struggle with reversing into parking spaces later. Remember, finding the semi-engaged clutch position is crucial—slowly lift the clutch until the car body slightly vibrates, then hold it steady; this is the semi-engagement point. Practice more to develop muscle memory in your left foot, preventing the car from rolling back on slopes. Avoid fancy steering wheel maneuvers; master the standard 9-and-3 o'clock hand position and develop the habit of straightening the wheels when parked to prevent tire damage from curbs.
