GETTING STARTED
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GETTING STARTED
At This Stage We are going to drive on the road now. We will only take the car up to about 60km/h and hold it there to get the feel of the car moving. Let’s do it
Right foot on the brake pedal
Move the gear shift to D
Hand brake off
Check to see if it is safe to merge onto the road. (If it’s not safe, wait until it is)
Slowly release your foot off the brake pedal
Very slowly accelerate and steer onto the road
Keep it slow until you are on the road
- Gently accelerate until you reach about 60km/h.
- When you reach that speed keep the speed steady.
Just practice holding the car steady for a few minutes. Its takes practise to do this. It looks easy when another driver does it, but this takes practise too do it. You will find the speed will be going up and down

- Indicate to show you going to pull over.
- Gently start to brake.
- When you got to about 40 km/h gently steer the car off the road.
Before you steer off the road it’s really important to get the speed off the car first.
- When off the road gently bring the car to a stop.
- Select “P”
