SECTION 2 : I believe you've read the first section and you know what's cooking already.
Let's survey the gear lever; you'll notice that on it are numbers, these numbers indicate your gear level, how fast you want to drive. Most cars have just five(5) gear levels and Reverse.
Now the main deal :
Get in the car, seat comfortably on the driver's seat, get a feel of the gear stick/lever , rest your left foot on the clutch and your right foot on the accelerator
Always make sure your gear stick is in neutral before you start the ignition ; Reason is : If you put on the car without checking if the gear is in neutral, there's an 86% probability that it would move forward in a quick bump and that's not funny in reality.
While its in neutral, press hard on the clutch using your left foot and use your right foot to press the brake down while you turn on the ignition (I call this A-Safety-Start ). Reason is: It would keep you in control of the car in case it may want to move.
Pull the gear to gear one while still in the previous process, carefully release your leg from the brake and let it rest on the accelerator, now get the car crawling(moving gradually) by releasing your foot halfway on the clutch while pressing slightly with your right foot on the accelerator. Now the car is in motion
To move faster, put (a +1 or) more push on the accelerator , remember it's still going to move within the limits of gear level 1 .
Keep on like this while moving your steering wheel as you practice how to control or navigate the car.
To bring the car to a halt :
Clutch down fully first,
Using your right leg, push the brake down - The car stops.
Note: clutch down before you brake to avoid stalling the engine or throwing your self forward (forward sudden pull)
For the first few weeks, it's adviceable to ride using gear one.
