[QUOTE="UnconTROLLed, post: 752939, member: 18708"] Agree. Use 1st gear!!! Starting from 2nd is a no-no, period. You want to start in 1st and quickly move into 2nd. Never shift in intersections, always when entering or safely cleared but never inside. 2 hands on the wheel , 10 and 2. NEVER ride the clutch or downshift to slow down. WHen stopping, let it come near stalling before you stop. Always use parking brake when stopped, gears in neutral, two hands on wheel. *use your mirrors!!!* front 2 secs, rear 5-8 Making a right hand turn, use your right mirror to safely clear curbs. Left turn, left mirror. push-pull steering method if you don't have power steering (chances are you will not). Don't use hand over hand! Most of it is common sense. Drive safely and try drive confident even if you are not. You will pass easily if you show you can handle the vehicle. You don't have to be perfect but you do need to be pretty good, very safe, and show potential. [/QUOTE]
