Driving...On a Real Road!
So...my driving lessons have now increased to new heights! It took about five minutes and two stall outs to get out of the drive way but after that things went over all pretty smoothly! My practice today involved 3 stop signs, 2 red lights, a school zone and drivers breaking for no reason.
My instructor has taught me a 5 step process to help me stay calm while shifting..I tend to freeze up and forget everything I know.
Step 1. Place Hand on Shifter
Step 2. Let Off Gas
Step 3. Press Clutch
Step 4. Move into Gear
Step 5. Let Off Clutch Add Gas
Driving a manual car has taught me two things..
1. You MUST be able to Multi-Task! (Which is not a strong skill I possess)
2. You Must keep your CALM! (Seeing that I tend to FREAK in situations I must work on this as well!)
