Do you know how to Drive?

Do you Know how to drive?
If you generally said "I don't have a driver license", this article is for you...

If you are one of those people who think “What a shame! I don’t know how to drive” this guide is for you. I will try to explain, in a simple way, how to drive a normal car with a gearbox of 5 speeds with Clutch. Obviously, I have to assume two things; you can read (Without this skill will be impossible to understand this article) and you can see (Without this skill will be impossible to you recognize a lot of parts in the car)

The first thing that you should know is how it is composed. A car is composed by 4 wheels, a engine and one bodywork (yes, I know what are you thinking but take in count that this is a Dummies Guide). Inside the car, you can find 3 chairs, 3 mirrors, 3 pedals (Break, Accelerator and Clutch), 2 sticks (Handbrake and Gear Shift), at least 2 seat belts, 1 steering wheel and a dashboard. Obviously, you can find other things but, for know, try to identify those parts, later we will see!

Steps before drive:

Now, seat down in the driver seat and identify pedals and gear shift. The right pedal is accelerator, the middle pedal is break and the left pedal is clutch. After that, you must recognize the gear shift and its positions. Each time that you shift up or shift down the gear shift you must press the clutch, without this, your car will fail, damage or break down.

Check it your mirrors. It’s important for a driver that those mirrors has as a target the behind car, NOT YOUR FACE!!! Try to see the behind lock in the inside corner of the side mirror (left and right mirror) and the windshield in the rear-view window. After that, start your engine and press and hold the clutch pedal, shift the gearshift to 1 position (Do remember my advise). Let the clutch pedal slowly and, at the same time, press the accelerator pedal (with the same speed than clutch pedal).

That’s it!!! You are driving!!
