Vocabulary: handbrake
You need to use your handbrake when you’re going to be stopped for more than a few seconds. This is helpful for small things like not rolling back into a Porsche.
Your handbrake gives you some extra security - you can rest assured that with your handbrake on, your car won’t be going anywhere. It also gives your feet a little rest if you’re stopped in traffic.
Vocabulary: clutch
As you drive your car faster, you need to put it in a higher gear. Same when you want to lose speed: to slow your car down, you need to move down gears too.
To change gear:
- Put your clutch down
- Move the gearstick into the right position
- Graaaaadually bring the clutch back up and accelerate a little
You can only change gears when your clutch is down (your car will make a horrid grinding sound if you try without) and you’ll need to use the clutch any time you’re bringing your car to a stop, too.
Other than that, you shouldn’t have your foot touching the clutch at all. Having your car in gear is what gives you control over your vehicle and if your clutch is down, it means your car isn’t in gear.
Vocabulary: brake
The middle of your 3 pedals is your foot brake. When you use it, two red lights will automatically come on at the back of your car to alert the drivers behind you.
You should use your right foot to operate your foot brake as well as the accelerator (which makes sense - if you’re trying to accelerate and brake at the same time, something’s wrong!).
Avoid stamping on the foot brake pedal - push it down gradually until the car comes to a stop. This will help you stop nice and smoothly, which gives you time to prepare for your next move and gives other road users a chance too.
Vocabulary: accelerator
There are 3 pedals on the floor of the driver’s side of your car, which you’ll use to control the power and speed of the car: the accelerator, the foot brake and the clutch.
