The sparkle in the eyes at the sight of a car and the inevitable desire to drive an iron friend are the main signs that a pedestrian has become a car enthusiast. From now on, it is necessary not only to acquire a property that is functional, charming, dynamic, exceptionally drivable, comfortable, ultra-modern or classic model automotive industry, but also to master the basics of driving. The basic rule of the “teapot” is the well-known Ilyich's testament: “study, study...” as much as it will be necessary to navigate the vast expanses of roads.

Driving lessons. How to quickly learn to drive a car

Driving a car: talent or skill?

Availability driving talent as a prerequisite for driving a car - this is the most common misconception of a pedestrian who has decided to master driving skills. Talent will only be required if the car enthusiast decides to switch to “autopilot” status or become a participant in a rally. In other cases, it is enough to achieve automation in control and learn driving skills : to commit necessary actions, without being distracted by “what to include” or “what to press”. Until automaticity is achieved, it is not recommended to drive onto highways or metropolitan streets, even in major cities provinces.

It is necessary to take into account that the transition from the number of exercises to the quality of control occurs in leaps and bounds, so constant progress in each subsequent lesson is not necessary. After just a few trips, you will gain confidence in your abilities and traveling by car will no longer be perceived as something unattainable. For “dummies” the recommended duration of one trip is 40 minutes.

Helpful advice: for first trips "instructor" could be a slow-moving truck or bus. It is necessary to maintain a safe distance and repeat all movements: turns, stops, and analyze the driver’s actions. In critical situations (confusion, panic, fear), it is enough to turn on the emergency lights and stop at the sidewalk.

Teaching a girl to drive / getting started

Driving for dummies: first steps to professional driving

Professional management – this is competent and confident driving, which is achieved through persistent training. An important factor in mastering the art of management is psychological stability. The first step of a pedestrian on the way to the auto world is an excellent knowledge of traffic rules, obtaining driver's license, mastering the theory and practice of driving:

• daily management is prerequisite consolidating the skills acquired in driving school and developing muscle memory. It is necessary to achieve automaticity at the beginning of the movement, emergency braking, changing gears, turning in limited space, parking, driving through bottlenecks. Along with the maneuvers, you need to learn to control the speed, get used to the car, feel the dimensions, automate acceleration and braking, get rid of the fear of driving and psychological pressures. Even circling around a deserted parking lot is better than looking at a car out the window;
• practice instant response to signs priority and prohibiting. It is equally important to quickly react to the markings, without making rash maneuvers: if you are confused, just drive up to the curb, turn on the emergency lights and think through the maneuver. To ensure that traffic rules are not lost in memory over time, it is enough to periodically refresh your knowledge on a computer program - solve tickets;
• first trips must be done in the evening or on weekends, as traffic intensity is reduced at this time. The best option is empty, quiet roads. Be sure to learn how to move in traffic: observe the speed of nearby vehicles. At first, you can drive in the right lane with an emergency signal;

The main condition for safe driving in urban conditions is psychological stability and control skills. In addition, it is necessary to prevent the creation of emergency situations and interference with other traffic participants. For this it is necessary eliminate behavior "on my own"(failure to comply with flow speed, cutting, incorrect traffic geometry), take into account other road users , model behavioral situations. It is recommended to pay special attention minibus who “sin” by making unexpected stops in the wrong places.

• stable psychological state and adequacy are the key to successful driving. Uncontrolled panic, as well as excessive self-confidence, are an obstacle to good decisions and need to be dealt with before driving. If the fear of city traffic turns out to be stronger than the driver, then you should limit yourself to honing your skills on a half-empty night road or a country road.

Professional control is not only automatic driving, but also the ability to make the right decision in a split second. critical situation. Therefore, excessive emotionality is recognized as a bad travel companion, as is a sharp reaction to the actions of other road users. It is necessary to learn to predict, develop readiness for any maneuver and learn to change lanes correctly, since most minor accidents are caused by inattention when changing lanes.

The driver's procedure when changing lanes:

• estimate traffic situation (position of others, control motorcycles and cars changing lanes chaotically, take into account motorcyclists between the rows);
• estimate distance to car, which follows in the desired lane, including the speed ( the best option for the “dummies” – lack of cars);
• turn on "turn signal" and re-evaluate the traffic situation. If another participant begins a lane change maneuver, you need to wait. At mutual reconstruction the driver from the right lane has priority in the center lane;
• accelerate the car up to the flow speed (if there are cars), wait for the “window” in the lane and start maneuver. It is not recommended to reduce your speed when changing lanes, as other drivers will be forced to slow down.

Helpful advice : When changing lanes, it is necessary to control the traffic both in front and behind. At the time of maneuver, it is necessary to eliminate body roll, avoid skidding, while maintaining a moderate maneuver trajectory.

Quick learning conditions: how to learn to drive a car in 10 days?

If the task is to quickly master the art of driving, then it is necessary to combine 2 types of training:

1) classes with an instructor;

2) self-training.

At the same time, it is recommended to devote at least a month to the second part - independent preparation, and leave 10 “decisive” days for classes with an instructor. Since training with an instructor is an area of ​​professional knowledge, the effectiveness of classes depends on the experience of the specialist. The main focus should be on finding the best driving school, and to speed up the learning process, focus on self-training.

Self-preparation: self-education

Advantages self-study are obvious: no costs, free choice of lesson time, no restrictions on duration. To ensure that preparation does not turn into wasted time without acquiring useful skills, it is necessary to systematize the process:

• technical skills (coordination exercises);
• distribution of attention.

technical skills It is recommended to divide into groups:

Vehicle position

The main task at this stage is the development of the eye, since a car cannot resemble a pedestrian who moves in “zigzags”. It is necessary to maintain straightness: parallel to parked cars, curbs, in traffic. A useful exercise is to parallelly lay out any household items (notebooks, books, pens, etc.) and search for straight lines in the environment that will allow you to correct the position: baseboards, table lines, etc. A useful simulator is a car stimulator, especially one with a steering wheel and pedals.

Pedals

When choosing an iron friend with a manual transmission, you need to master 3 pedals: clutch (left), brake, gas (right). It is necessary to achieve automaticity in “distributing the load” on the legs when pressing the pedals: clutch - left, gas, brake - right.

Besides, Special attention devote gear lever . Before each gear change, you must press the clutch, then move the lever to the desired position and release the clutch. 1-3 gears are considered low, 5 – high, so when reducing speed you must engage low gears, and during acceleration – increased. For self-training, it is enough to automate the control process within three gears.

Helpful advice: In order to achieve automaticity in synchronized gear shifting from 1st to 5th and pedal operation, it is recommended to perform the following exercises:

• press the gas, release the gas, press the clutch, engage 2nd gear, release the clutch and press the gas, continuing to drive;
• repeat the sequence of actions with 3-5 gears.

To change gears from 5th to 1st, an exercise is recommended: press the clutch and brake, engage 4th gear, release the clutch and brake, press the gas and continue driving. Repeat the sequence of actions with 3-1 gears. All exercises can be performed not only in the car, but you can also hone your skills at home by replacing the pedals with house shoes and the lever with a regular pencil. The duration of daily pedal training should be at least 10 minutes.

Mirrors

The main task is to control the movement of objects reflected in the mirror. The most simple option mastering a skill is an ordinary mirror: learn to move around the room " in reverse", focusing on the reflection in the mirror. A more difficult option: take objects alternately with your left/right hand, maintaining a straight movement. The duration of the exercises is 20 minutes daily.

If you have a car, you can park in a place where the traffic is quite intense, and, sitting in the driver’s seat, learn to quickly look at the cars that are moving behind you in the right, left, and center mirrors.

Steering wheel

A special feature of driving a car is learning to correctly perceive the direction of the wheels depending on the rotation of the steering wheel. Since, unlike a bicycle, the wheels are not visible, it is necessary to perform exercises “on the dial” by half a turn of the steering wheel: from “00.00” to “06.00”, the next turn – from “06.00” to “00.00”.

Helpful advice: one and a half turns in any direction - this is the state of the wheels, which are completely turned in the desired direction, 3 full revolutions is a transition from the extreme right to the extreme left and vice versa. As with pedals, a steering wheel is not necessary to perform the exercises; utensils (lids, plates, etc.) are sufficient. The recommended duration of exercise is 20 minutes daily.

Distribution of attention consists in the accumulation of “templates” for getting out of critical situations. It is necessary to learn to calculate situations taking into account sudden changes in the road situation, imagine a critical situation and draw up a ready-made “template” in the form of an action plan for any case. The more “templates” there are, the easier it will be for the driver to find a way out of a critical situation. To achieve maximum luggage ready-made solutions, you can use the training computer program– engage in “virtual” management.

When driving a car, it is necessary to properly focus your attention, because in addition to dashboard and monitoring the car in front, you need to notice signs, traffic lights, markings, pedestrians and even potholes on the road. Therefore, the practice of first driving in a company with friends and family is highly not recommended, especially if the passengers do not drive the car themselves.

Original advice: you can draw black teapot inside a red triangle on a white background and place it on the rear window. Such a sign will highlight the creativity of the beginner and challenge experienced drivers desire to help the owner of the sign: “Driving like a teapot!” Alternative option in the form of "U" and exclamation point mobilizes participants traffic, but without much warmth and humor

Let me start with the fact that I got my license. Tell me what a relief it is to “finally shoot” and get the coveted plastic card-I won’t, because you need to experience it “on your own skin” :))

True, I passed only the second time, but on my own without any connections or anything else. easy ways obtaining rights. My husband insisted that I have to pass it myself. I admit, the idea of ​​buying a license has crossed my mind more than once, after grueling trips around the city with an instructor under terrible stress.

It seemed to me that I stopped thinking at all as soon as I left the gates of the training ground. Cars are rushing by, the city in which I live is quite large and the traffic on the main streets is very intense. All illusions about how cool it would be to drive and what a cool and beautiful girl I would be - a driver - were dispelled at the very first cry of the instructor: “Have you even seen the traffic rules?!?!!?”

I saw and not only saw, but crammed, but we started driving around the city as soon as we started walking through traffic rules class and of course, many of them were not yet known to me, and many simply had not yet figured out how to use them in practice. In general, I passed my license and it was time to practice in my husband’s car with my husband as an instructor.

To learn to drive, it is better not to learn with your spouse

I thought that with my “dear” husband I wouldn’t have jitters, and I would calmly hone my driving skills under his guidance. Not so!

At the very first exit from the yard, his reproachful exclamations rained down on me: “Naada, turn the steering wheel harder, don’t you see the hatch there?” “Nadya, will you drive up to the gate, or will we just stand here?” “Nadya, let the car through, don’t you see that it’s coming?” etc. and so on. In general, my arms and legs shook even more than before, this is my psychosomatic reaction to stress.

In general, we started learning to drive a car in the winter, and my first more or less confident driving appeared on a highway outside the city, where there are no traffic signs, no traffic jams, and the distance between intersections allows me to drive calmly for quite a long time.

Here my beloved even praised me, with the phrase, at least on the highway you can drive more or less calmly. For positive motivation, of course, it’s a dubious compliment, but I was incredibly happy about this too.

Before all my trips around the city, I silently prayed (in the literal sense of the word) before getting behind the wheel, as I was always in anticipation of some stressful situations and a negative assessment of my husband. I couldn’t understand a lot with my logic, which, by the way, is simply necessary for my personality, since I can confidently make any movements only if I understand what, why and how it’s being done, and why exactly this way, and not otherwise.

We traveled like this together for about six months, but, I want to note, quite rarely, 2-4 times every two months.

Firstly, because my husband didn’t have enough time to ride with me, and secondly because I came to the conclusion that I would start driving every day only when I had my own car, since with my husband all driving turned into stress. on the verge of tearful hysteria, although I restrained myself from such outbursts, but it was quite difficult for me.

There was a moment when I began to doubt very much that I was even capable of driving a car without accidents. After all, this is a huge responsibility not only for your property and life, but also for the people around you. In general, my complexes and confidence in my own incompetence in terms of driving grew at a speed of 250 km/h, and soon I realized that I no longer wanted to drive at all, and why did I need this “hemorrhoids” at all.

My husband told me: “There are people who are given the gift of driving, but you, bunny, are not one of these people, well, why do you need this, after all, I drive you everywhere? »

I was very upset, because I put so much effort into getting a license and becoming a car driver. After all, so much nerves, money, and most importantly time were spent. And then a very clear thought appeared in my head: “Nadia, if you give up now, you will never do this again. You can do anything, the main thing is to believe in yourself, push yourself, everything will be fine.”

Learning to drive is not easy, don’t believe it if someone says - Nonsense! This is a responsible step, the car is a serious “toy” and you should not take the road lightly under any circumstances. To learn to drive a car, you need to tune in and act gradually. And, of course, in order to learn to drive a car, you need to overcome fear, which is the biggest problem for women in this matter.

Continuation of the topic “How to learn to drive a car” in the article “How not to be afraid to drive a car: developing driving skills.”

Girls, if you liked my article, please don’t consider it difficult, please give it a LIKE :)

Perhaps in a little time you will learn to drive a car like the famous Danica Patrick - read her path to success!

The article will be no less useful for you: "How to behave when skidding."

Cars with automatic transmission are attracting more and more attention, becoming popular among car enthusiasts. They are easier to operate due to the presence of only two pedals and the absence of the need for manual mode change gears.

Braking in cars with automatic transmission

The brake pedal in all cars equipped with an automatic transmission is located on the left, although you should press it with your right foot. Pressing the pedal results in:

• to a gradual slowdown of the vehicle;
• to a complete stop of the car.

In cars with automatic transmission there are two types of braking:

• smooth;
• sharp.

The smoothness of braking is affected by the force applied to the brake pedal. Light pressure provides smooth braking, while strong pressure provides sharp braking. In any case, the car will stop if braking is started in a timely manner.

• passing at a high turning speed, since wheel locking can throw him off the road surface;
• driving on uneven roads, various potholes and bumps, since wheel locking can damage the suspension;
• finding wheels on different road surfaces, since there is a possibility of skidding.

Acceleration in cars with automatic transmission

The gas pedal in cars with automatic transmission is located on the right and should be pressed with your right foot. Left leg does not work at all, being located on a special platform in order to prevent the simultaneous pressing of two pedals.

By pressing the gas pedal, the car enthusiast increases engine speed and allows the car to pick up speed. It should be pressed evenly and without sharp jerks, since in cars with automatic transmission it reacts sensitively to the slightest movement legs. With the help of the pedal, the car enthusiast actually controls the power of the engine, so when climbing a mountain, you need to press harder on it, and when descending from a mountain, you can completely release it. You can simply slow down the speed by releasing the gas pedal and not using the brakes.

Gear shift lever in a car with automatic transmission

The gearbox transmits rotation from crankshaft engine to wheels. Each gear has its own speed limit, and the automatic transmission independently changes gears based on the speed the car has gained. To accelerate, the driver just needs to press the gas pedal, and the gears will change automatically. Easing your pressure on the gas pedal will cause you to slow down and shift into lower gears.

The standard shift lever in an automatic transmission has several modes. There are usually 4 main positions for the gear lever:

• P – parking in which the car is parked for a long time;
• R – reverse;
• N – neutral, in which the car is moved short distances during maintenance;
• D – drive, in which the car moves forward.

It should be remembered that a car with an automatic transmission cannot be towed in the usual way. Some car models have additional modes allowing:

• get out of the mud;
• tow another vehicle;
• move in sports mode and so on.

An automatic transmission with a tiptronic system allows the driver to forcefully change gears.

Steering wheel in a car with automatic transmission

The steering wheel in a car with an automatic transmission is able to turn 1.5-2.5 turns in any direction, depending on the make of the car. After making a turn, the steering wheel should be returned to initial position. Do not cross your arms while turning the steering wheel. It is necessary to move your hands along the steering wheel while turning so that one of them constantly holds steering wheel. During normal movement It is recommended to hold the steering wheel with your left hand.

A turn signal in the form of a lever is usually placed on the steering box. By lowering it down, the car enthusiast indicates a left turn, and up - a right turn. The lever switches to its original position after completing the maneuver automatically or manually.

Preparing to drive a car with automatic transmission

Before driving a car with automatic transmission, you should:

• select a comfortable seating position using special adjustment knobs;
• check the rear view mirror, the view of which should be rear window and the road;
• check the visibility in the side mirrors;
• start the engine with the automatic transmission lever in position P – park.

To start the engine, you must turn the ignition key clockwise 180 degrees. At this moment, the lights on the dashboard come on. After 3-5 seconds, the ignition key is turned all the way, allowing the engine to start.

Starting to drive a car with automatic transmission

To start driving a car with an automatic transmission, select mode D - drive in the gearbox, while pressing the brake pedal. When the brake pedal is released, the car begins to move without much acceleration. To accelerate it you need to press the gas pedal. Coming to a complete stop, for example at a traffic light, will require pressing the brake pedal.

The mode of forced movement of the car in the absence of pressing the brake pedal allows you to:

• don't stall;
• don't roll back.

Having received this knowledge, a car enthusiast will be able to easily drive a car with an automatic transmission.

Despite the fact that girls, as a rule, do not play with cars as children, every lady can handle driving a car. The widely held belief that a woman cannot learn to drive a vehicle at the same level as a man has in fact turned out to be just a myth. By the way, this is confirmed by the statistics of road accidents, where the fair half of humanity is much less likely to be the culprit of an accident.

A woman can drive a car, sometimes even better than a man

Undoubtedly, there are quite funny situations on the road where the culprits are women, but similar incidents with men still happen much more often.

By the way, a frivolous attitude towards a lady behind the wheel is a purely Russian privilege. For example, in Germany and America, a female driver is a completely common phenomenon that will not surprise anyone. However, not everything is as bad here as it seems at first glance, because in some countries women are completely prohibited from driving.

Should you or should you not drive a car?

Funny incidents on the road still happen to men much more often than to women

The statement that a lady cannot drive any vehicle well except a supermarket trolley confuses many. Uncertainty and doubts, combined with the prevailing opinion in society regarding the leading woman, often become the decisive factor stopping women in the most critical situation. And instead of going to driving school, they forever refuse to conquer the roads and go to the kitchen.

Before you get behind the wheel of a car, you should answer just two questions for yourself:

1. Does your health condition allow you to drive?
2. Will it be convenient for you to travel by car?

If the answers are affirmative, without hesitation, go to a driving school to pursue your dream.

How does a man differ from a woman in driving a car?

Peripheral vision is better developed in women than in men

Women have much better developed peripheral vision than men. This makes it possible to see danger much faster, but also distracts from the driving process.

Everyone knows that women are more emotional creatures than men. They perceive failures very painfully, get upset at every occasion, taking everything personally. You shouldn’t react like that, only those who do nothing make no mistakes. The main obstacle that prevents a woman from learning to drive a car is her own fear, as well as stereotypes that have taken root in society.

How can a woman learn to drive or What do ladies fear most?

Whatever the ladies are afraid of, learning to drive is difficult for both genders

Women are afraid that they won't be able to drive like a man and that they will look awkward on the road. But in reality, learning to drive is not easy for both sexes. All the mistakes that are common to beginners are common to both women and men. You can’t let your fear drive you into a corner, you have to try and confidently follow your dreams.

Some ladies are afraid that they simply won’t succeed. If not everything comes out right away, don't be upset. This does not mean that you have no talent for driving a car. Believe me, even those aces who casually turn the steering wheel with the little finger of their left hand, while simultaneously talking on the phone and discussing the legs of lovely ladies, were once in a similar position, shed gallons of sweat and confused the brake and gas.

Some women are scared, oddly enough, by other cars that rush at breakneck speed. The stream of cars rushing towards you is not so scary anymore. None of the drivers will intentionally crash into you and try to push you to the side of the road. And if drivers of other vehicles see that a newcomer is driving the car, they themselves become extremely attentive. Therefore, do not try to keep up with the general flow, take your time, do all maneuvers carefully. Nothing bad will happen if the car driving behind you has to wait a little.

Video tutorial on teaching women to drive

Many women are stopped by the fear of getting into an accident and damaging their or someone else's car, the damage of which will have to be compensated. In fact, such situations are extremely rare, and emergency situation What creates on the road is not slow-moving newbie women, but self-confident, frisky men. But if this doesn’t reassure you, then you can simply get insurance and feel more confident on the road.

Some representatives of the fair sex are afraid of getting lost, of getting lost in the whirlwind of city roads, even if they have traveled along them more than once, albeit as a passenger. To overcome this fear, perhaps you should just buy an atlas and study it carefully before driving a car on a city trip?

Women driving are afraid of the traffic police, but in vain, because no one has canceled the feminine charm

Some representatives of the fair half are catastrophically afraid of the traffic police. Then let us remind you that representatives of the opposite sex work there, and it will certainly not be difficult for a beautiful car lady to find a common language with strict inspectors.

Another fairly common fear is possible breakdown vehicle. Such a case may well occur and, as practice shows, it does not occur often, but it does occur. However, there will always be an attentive driver on the road, perhaps even more than one, who will definitely help the confused young lady and provide her with assistance. In any situation you can find a way out.

What not to do for a novice car driver or... The most common female mistakes:

On the way to your dream or Learning to drive a car

To feel confident on the road, you don’t need to know how the engine and other operating components of the car work. After all, the goal that stands before you is to become a car lady, and not a mechanic at all. It is quite enough to limit ourselves general information regarding the operation of all vehicle components and controls. We will entrust everything else to specialists in this field.

Let's get behind the wheel

To learn how to drive a car well and quickly as a woman, you should take note some simple driving truths:

Anyone can learn to drive, we must discard stereotypes, fear, uncertainty and prejudices

Every woman can learn to drive. You just need to try to learn, throwing away all stereotypes, fear, uncertainty and prejudices. Even though the ladies came to automotive world much later than men, they have all the capabilities to skillfully drive a car. And many representatives of the fair half of humanity prove this to us by their example. Today, more and more often on the roads you can find a young lady behind the wheel who does an excellent job of driving and does not stand out in any way from the general flow of cars.

A young lady can master the art of driving just like a man. The main thing is patience, determination and understanding of the process. If you have all these qualities, very soon it will become commonplace for you to go shopping at the store, to work, to visit a friend, or even to pick up your spouse from fishing.

Today, owning a car is perceived not as a luxury, but as accessible remedy movement. Modern world places more and more demands on a person, including the ability to drive a car. At first glance, it may seem that learning to drive is a very complex, labor-intensive and lengthy process. Although in reality anyone can learn to drive. In this article we will try to give you recommendations on how to learn to drive quickly and efficiently.

How to learn to drive a car

Let's start with the fact that all people are completely different: some have the ability to drive from God, while others will burn out more than one clutch before the car starts listening to its driver. First of all, you need to work with your attitude: You must convince yourself that you can learn to drive a car. Do what you want, but only drive with positive thoughts! Specifying your goal can help - put a reminder in your calendar that you will master driving by the specified date. The right motivation works wonders!

The second aspect of the question of how to learn to drive is the choice of an instructor. There are two options here. You can enroll in driving courses at a specialized school or study with a private instructor. When choosing courses for beginners, pay attention to:

• availability of certificates and licenses from the driving school you have chosen. Good school in mandatory certifies all types of services offered!
• driving instructor qualification. A good teacher is the key to your success, so be extremely attentive and picky. It’s great if, in addition to a driver’s license, a person has a license to teach driving!
• driving school fleet – any self-respecting driving school equips its own fleet modern cars, equipped additional systems braking. Thus, concern is shown for the quality and relevance of the knowledge obtained, as well as for the client’s health.

Driving school is very convenient way driving lessons. Auto courses consist of theoretical classes, during which the instructor explains all the rules of the road in the form of lectures in the most accessible form, road signs, the most common situations on the road, as well as ways to resolve them, and practical exercises - simulator, driving on the site and driving around the city. The simulator mode (not available in all driving schools) simulates driving in a car, helping to acquire and practice initial driving skills. Maneuvering on the site is of an even more practical nature - you will learn how to correctly start from a place, park, control the steering wheel, maneuver between posts (snake), start downhill (overpass) and feel the dimensions of the car. The third and final practical stage is driving around the city. A significant difference from the previous stage is the presence of other cars and pedestrians on the road! It is clear that maximum attention and concentration will be required from you. Upon completion of the auto courses, you take a comprehensive theoretical and practical exam – and you’re done! You have rights!

If you want to learn to drive a car with a private driving instructor, then in this case you will receive an individual approach and the number of hours of practice that you need, and not what is provided by the driving school program. Of course, more effort and self-organization will be required from you, since you will have to study traffic rules yourself using the Internet, or use the service of theoretical classes at a driving school, which is still cheaper than taking full course. Experienced people say that 2 – 3 weeks is enough to figure everything out and pass the traffic police exam without any problems. By the way, taking the exam on your own will cost you several times less than obtaining a license together with a group in a course.

Practical classes, if you pay for a private instructor, take place first on the site in the instructor’s car and in his presence. It is clear that the quality of training is disproportionately higher than in a driving school, since each specialist cares about his reputation and good reviews, therefore, you are guaranteed attentive and correct attitude. All this reduces the duration of training, thereby making it more affordable. After you have mastered all the necessary skills on the site, start learning to drive around the city. It is clear that the instructor is interested in you learning to drive correctly and not being afraid of driving, since he will earn more from this than his colleague at the driving school. In addition, ask your instructor to walk you through the route for the traffic police exam and explain all the difficult points. After completing your studies, start preparing the documents necessary to pass the exam and confidently go to the exam!

Another point worth paying attention to before training. Do not hurry! Don't try to rush things and don't be upset if things don't work out right away. Calmly analyze all your mistakes, ask for advice from the instructor and those you trust, understand all difficult situations for you, so as not to repeat your mistakes in the future. If you want to learn how to drive efficiently, then be patient - and everything will work out!

How to learn to drive manually

When hearing the word “mechanics,” many car enthusiasts, beginners and even experienced drivers, begin to feel a slight shiver... Why? How to learn to drive manually? Is it really that difficult? Not at all! Let's figure out together how to learn to drive a mechanic's car.

First of all, let's understand the gearbox system. As a rule, it consists of 5 numbered steps. In its generally accepted form, the speed switching diagram looks like this:

• 1st gear – up to 20 km/h
• 2nd gear – 20 – 40 km/h
• III gear – 40 – 60 km/h
• IV gear – 60 – 90 km/h
• V gear – over 90 km/h

This scheme assumes economical driving without re-gassing. If you are a supporter of dynamic driving, then the scheme will change a little:

• 1st gear – up to 40 km/h
• 2nd gear – 40 – 80 km/h
• III gear – 80 – 110 km/h
• IV gear – 110 – 140 km/h
• V gear – over 140 km/h

When you get into the car, make sure that hand brake removed and the gear shift knob is in neutral position. Insert the ignition key into the lock, turn right and count to 3. At this moment the engine should start. Warm up the engine for a few minutes and start driving, quickly and smoothly pressing the clutch pedal to the floor with your left foot, and moving the gear selector to the left and up with your right hand - 1st gear. Now use your left foot to smoothly release the clutch pedal while simultaneously pressing on the gas with your right foot. That's it, the car is moving. Naturally, the more you train in different situations, the faster you will learn to drive any type of gearbox. When it comes to driving, practice makes all the difference. We wish you success in driving and safe roads!
