Which Gear to Use When Driving on City Roads?
1 Answers
When starting on city roads, use 1st gear, then shift to 2nd gear. Shift to 3rd gear when exceeding 40 mph, and you can use 4th and 5th gears when exceeding 60 mph. The specific gear depends on the vehicle speed, which in turn depends on road conditions and traffic signs. The Relationship Between Gears and Speed: Shifting gears on various roads cannot be generalized. Consider the engine and transmission indicators of the vehicle. Persistently driving at low speeds can also cause wear and tear on the vehicle. Additionally, account for road conditions, whether they are open or congested. Driving Tips: Appropriately reduce speed when encountering intersections, traffic signals, or congested areas (such as schools or markets). Maintain a reasonable distance from vehicles in front and behind. Also, drive at a reduced speed during adverse weather conditions.
