What to Do When There's a Car in Front During Gear Shifting?
1 Answers
Handling methods when there's a car in front during gear shifting: When there's a car in front during upshifting: While driving, if there is a sufficiently long safe distance, you can continue upshifting to 4th gear (in the driving test, students are generally required to upshift to 4th gear and then downshift from 4th to 1st gear). The speed in 4th gear is between 40-60 km/h, maintaining a safe following distance. If there isn't enough safe distance, you can confirm safety, turn on the left turn signal for 3 seconds, then upshift and change lanes to overtake. If the vehicle in front also accelerates, abandon the current overtaking maneuver and return to the original lane. Note: If the driving test system does not announce an overtaking instruction or the examiner does not require overtaking, do not overtake on your own. When there's a car in front during downshifting: First, lightly apply the brakes. Once the speed matches the gear, press the clutch fully and shift to the corresponding gear, then continue following at a safe distance. If the vehicle in front slows down significantly, stop and wait if necessary. Precautions for gear shifting: The test vehicle's gear lever is equipped with sensors, so do not skip gears when shifting. This means you cannot directly shift from 4th gear to 2nd gear or from 2nd gear to 4th gear; you must go through 3rd gear.
