Driving Lesson #1

DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS

How to drive the vehicle?

To drive the vehicle safely and keep our vehicle in a good condition we have to strictly follow the traffic rules and the driving instructions. This will lead you to avoid the accidents and to have a safe drive.

First we should not disturb others while driving, in the current situation we cannot stop others making mistakes but we can save our life by following the driving methods. If we follow those methods then we will be safe.

CONTROLS:

We should be in total control of the vehicle while driving. Normally all the parts in the vehicle which is used manually are called controls. There are two types of controls

Ø Major Control

Ø Minor Control

This is some thing like “Major Operation” and “Minor Operation”. Irrespective of major or minor operation if the doctor do some small mistake then there is no assurance of patients life. Similarly while driving if we do some small mistake then the reactions will lead to an accident it may be major or minor according to the mistakes that you have done.


MAJOR CONTROLS:

There are five types of major controls.

Ø Accelerator.

Ø Break.

Ø Clutch.

Ø Gear.

Ø Steering.

To use these controls, there are some methods to be followed for each control.

Accelerator: Accelerator is use to increase and decrease the speed of the vehicle; accelerator should not be applied or released suddenly. If it happens then the vehicle will be dragged out and we will loose our control, this is not good for the passengers and also for the person who is driving. Accelerator should be applied according to the speed limit mentioned in the road traffic.

Break: Break is use to stop the vehicle or to reduce the speed of the vehicle during movement. Do not apply the break suddenly without any purpose. If it happens then the rear side of the vehicle will hit our vehicle. Break should be applied gradually if the driver knows the spot.

The timing to reach the break pedal from the accelerator should as fast as possible. Before we do this there are two types of process involved in this 1. Thinking distance and 2. Reaction distance. Thinking distance is some thing that we have though that we have to stop the vehicle in that spot. Reaction distance is how actually you reacted to stop the vehicle in that spot. Thinking and Reaction should go hand on hand, based on the situation the break pedal should be pressed either suddenly or slowly. The main thing while pressing the break pedal, your heal should not be landed. If we did the above perfectly you can control your vehicle, as you want.

Clutch: Clutch is use to change the gear in a smooth way which will also push your vehicle movement according to the speed. Clutch should be gradually applied and it should be pressed fully.

There are three steps that should be followed while applying and releasing the clutch.

Ø Baiting Point

Ø Balancing Point

Ø Play Point

BAITING POINT: First you should fully press the clutch and put the first gear now slowly release the clutch you may feel the vibration in your vehicle and also the engine sound will be change. Now at this point you should hold your leg in the same position for couple of seconds, this indicates that our vehicle is ready to move.

BALANCING POINT: If we release the clutch slightly our vehicle will start moving like a tortoise. Hold your leg at this position till your vehicle cross up to 2 to 3 feet.

PLAY POINT: if we release the clutch some more, the vehicle will move faster than before and Hold your leg at that point. In this position you can bring your vehicle to the direction in which it wants to move. After doing these three points gradually release the clutch and increase the speed of the vehicle by pressing accelerator.

GEAR: First of all you should hold the gear rood in your palm. Not only increasing or decreasing the gear according to the speed but also you should keep control during the traffic signs, slope, and upward slope. If you fail to do this then your vehicle will not be in your control.

STEERING: This will take you where your vehicle should go in which direction. You should not turn the vehicle for your wish. The driver should hold the steering like 9 and 3 position as shown in the clock. The steering control will be very sensitive when the vehicle is moving above 60km speed at that moment hold your hand in steering as in 10 and 2 position in the clock. While turning, the hands should not cross the position as in 12 and 6 in clock; rather the driver should use pull and push method.

(B) MINOR CONTROLS:
Some of the minor controls are right side mirror, left side mirror, review mirror, indicator, horn, fuel gage, temperature meter, speedometer, etc…
