....for all those who are learning to drive and are planning to do so......


me wud be telling frm the prespective frm a new beginner..so dont get frusto abt fews things i mention...

  • firstly, get ur concepts clear about the RELATIVE postions of the clutch, brake, acc. pedals and the gears and also the other small controls(they aren't imp at this point of time...)

  • second, get acquianted to the gear pattern, mostly it's same for all the cars, unless u wanna drive a ambassador or a fiat. but, they too these day are getting modified to suit US...jus get into the car, jus press down da clutch and try changing the gear one after the other.....frm the lowest to the top most.
    try simulating real time situations like, wht wud u do if u happen to slow frm da 4th gear...or if wht if u wanna pick up speed quickly....n so on...how?? wait....go on reading...

  • then starting learning to control the clutch and the accelerator simultaneously(without starting the engine), actually it takes time n practise to coordinate the legs simultaneously.....but if u still find it difficult, try using ur hands..!!!! :P probably u can choose among the best among the worse.

  • then move on to brake and clutch, this most the practical part, u wud be learning on road while driving...so jus practise switching between the brake and the acc. pedal.....n if u ponder how, well u can't jus have both of them at once, so it's either the brake or the acc...

  • next most imp. thing is the properly push in the key into the proper place and again remember where actually is it....bcoz there wont be enough space in any car for u to bend over n push over ur head beside the steering column to look for the ignition....!!!
    see to it tht the gear is in NEUTRAL, and the swtich to ON....stay there fr a few seconds say 15-20 secs...depends on da car....and then IGNITE..! :D

  • well, dont rush to dash off....u will never be able to.... !! switch to the first gear n start implemention ur practise lessons..!! :D

well, reach this state....more lessons to come....!!
