When helping my friend practice driving, I always remind him that for the 'pull over and park' part in Subject 3, downshifting is necessary. It's generally recommended to use 2nd gear as the speed is moderate and easier to control. During the test, don't be greedy for speed by using higher gears like 3rd gear, as the high RPM can easily lead to stalling and point deductions. First, turn on the right turn signal, check the rearview mirror for safety, then slow down and shift to 2nd gear to gently pull over to the side. After coming to a complete stop, shift to neutral and engage the handbrake. This step is crucial—many people try to pull over without downshifting, causing the car to shake violently and stall. Practice more to get the feel of it; smoothly engaging the clutch while downshifting can make parking smoother and safer. Remember not to get nervous during the test—follow the steps carefully, and a perfect score isn't hard to achieve.
