Driving skills are one of the important things to ensure safety when traveling on the road. But that is not enough, you need tips to avoid unpleasant situations on the journey.

Special design of automatic transmission car

With the purpose of helping the driver reduce the operations when holding the steering wheel, automatic transmission has done its function and task well. However, automatic transmission cars do not use the clutch pedal, so it is also one of the things that cause difficulties for many people.

Automatic cars do not have a clutch pedal.

Cars only have accelerator and brake pedals, which often leads to inexperienced drivers using both the brake and accelerator pedals, which is very dangerous. In particular, the situation of mistakenly stepping on the brake pedal instead of the accelerator pedal is not uncommon in Vietnam.

Be careful not to step on the gas pedal by mistake.

Reasonable sitting position: Many drivers create a cramped sitting position in the cockpit space, which can easily lead to accidentally stepping on the gas pedal. Therefore, drivers should create a comfortable position for themselves, keeping a distance from the body to the steering wheel. The driver's legs are the most comfortable part, so they should not touch the lowest point of the steering wheel or dashboard.

Foot position: Normally, when driving an automatic car, many drivers have the habit of using both feet. This unintentionally makes it difficult for you to handle situations. Therefore, when driving an automatic car, drivers should only use one foot.

Never use both feet when driving an automatic car.

Also, when switching from the brake pedal to the accelerator or vice versa, you should only rotate your heel and absolutely not lift your foot to switch.

Shift to P when parking: When parking, you should pull the handbrake and shift to P. When stopping at a red light, you should also shift to P because waiting for a long time will make you forget that your car is still in drive.
