To drive a car, it is not enough just to turn the steering wheel. You need to know how and at what moment to press one or another pedal, especially when it comes to a car with a manual transmission.
Instructions
Step 1
Pay attention to the brake pedal. Basically, this is the main pedal in the car. Of course, other pedals are also very important for a comfortable and smooth ride, but it is the brake pedal that is the last line between your car and a traffic accident.
Step 2
Train yourself to receive impulse braking. It is as follows. Place your left foot on the brake pedal and in a smooth, reciprocating motion, press and release the pedal very lightly. Each subsequent movement should be slightly longer and stronger than the previous one. Naturally, in order to use this method, you need to plan your stop in advance.
Step 3
Step on the brake pedal without using the clutch pedal. Press the pedals on the machine separately. In this case, pressing the brake pedal separately will protect the brake system from overheating and wear, and will make the stopping smoother.
Step 4
Never stop following the movement. If there is a lot of traffic on the road, do not forget to turn on the emergency signal for a few seconds before pressing the brake pedal. This is to warn the drivers behind you about your stop. Accordingly, they will also begin to brake, which will protect you from a possible accident.
Step 5
Use the brake pedal to overcome obstacles such as rails or speed bumps. This will protect the vehicle's suspension and struts from possible damage and premature wear. The method is as follows. Press the brake pedal, and immediately in front of the obstacle, release it sharply. In this case, the front wheels of the car will rise slightly above the ground. To enhance this effect, press the accelerator pedal at the same time as you release the brake pedal. Then the car will simply jump over a low obstacle, which will reduce the undesirable effect of the impact to a minimum.
