Safety Driving Tips by CastroLubeNg: 5:05pm On Sep 16, 2016
To have a smooth driving experience, the following tips will give you a great start:
Learn to recognize the sounds of your engine; you should eventually be able to tell when to change gears without relying on the tachometer.
Do not get distracted while driving such as by texting. This may cause serious injury or even death if you accidentally crash.

When you want to go on a bump,you hold down your clutch and press your brake slightly to slow down and later release the clutch gradually and apply the accelerator gradually to move.

To learn immediately, don't drive in the streets until you master the First/Reverse Gear. Practice driving without applying gas when releasing the clutch. Then practice 100 times with and without applying the accelerator. Do the same with reverse gear. After that then you will be ready to go.

If you are having difficulty starting the car from a stop, make sure that you are slowly letting off the clutch. Pause at the friction point (the part where the engine starts to move the car) and continue slowly pulling the clutch out.

If there is no gear position posted on the shifter, make sure to ask someone who is familiar with the vehicle how the gears are arranged. The last thing you want is to back into something (or someone) when you think you've shifted into first gear.

Make sure you push the clutch all the way in before shifting to the next gear.

Make sure not to rest your left foot on the clutch while driving.

Practice so that you can shift gears without looking at the stick. That way you can keep your eyes on the road.

During sub freezing temperatures, it is not advisable to leave a car for a long time with the handbrake (parking brake) engaged. Moisture will freeze and the handbrake might not disengage.

Have a lovely weekend. wink wink wink cool
