Which Gear Should Be Used for Curve Driving?

[ValentinaMarie]

For curve driving in Subject 2 of the driving test, use second gear. Below is relevant information about vehicle gear shifting: Precautions: When downshifting, the method of double-clutching plus a blip of the throttle should be used. The principle of downshifting with a throttle blip is: the faster the speed, the larger the "throttle blip"; the slower the speed, the smaller the "throttle blip". At low engine speeds, the "throttle blip" should be larger; at high speeds, it should be smaller. On flat roads, the "throttle blip" should be larger; when going uphill, it should be smaller. Techniques: Gear shifting should be timely, accurate, smooth, and quick. When starting the car, generally use the low gear (first gear). After starting, as long as road conditions permit, shift up to higher gears promptly and progressively.
