How to drive a CAR
Maruthi 800 Car
Many people used to go to driving Schools to learn car driving. I am doubtful how far they learn driving in a perfect manner.
Today I am happened to visit a Driving School along with my friend who is learning driving. I sat on the rear seat of the maruthi 800 car. Which is used to teach driving. I was there about half an hour. I could not satisfy with the teaching and assistance of the teacher who is teach to my friend. I asked my friend is the same daily. He told yes. I thought that many of our friends are not having proper guidance in driving and lack of technical knowledge about car driving. Which prompted me to write this article.
DRIVING A VEHICLE:
First one must know about a geared vehicle.
A geared vehicle is one. which runs by a motor and the transmission is with gears. Transmission means giving power ( motion ) from engine to load ( wheels of vehicle ) it is through gears. First when the vehicle starts from inertial state to motion state it requires more power to rotate the wheels. As such the vehicle should placed in load gear i.e., first gear. In first gear the speed of the engine will be more and the speed of the vehicle will be less. Hence the vehicle moves with great power. when the vehicle moves on the road the vehicle will move to speed with less power, then we have to shift to second gear. later third and so on as per the availability of gears of the vehicle. We must understand that first and second gears are known as load gears and third and fourth gears are known as speed gears. As the speed of the vehicle increased we should change the gears one two three so on. when the vehicle is forced to drop speed means when you controls the speed by applying break then as per the speed we have to change the gear to second or first and again raise to up words.

The person who know motor cycle driving can easily drive a car:
The driving of a motor cycle with gear is a similar to that of a car. The deferences are in the case of a motor cycle:
1) One must maintain balance.
2) One should find way to motor cycle to the extent of clearance of a little more than a pediatrician.
3. One should know the clutch releasing Technic and accelerating and apply of break after the application of break keep the leg on the floor etc.,
In the case of a Car:
No.2 of the above point is important. One should see the clearance of road more than the width of car. The Driver of a car sits at right side of car. So right side cab be seen to the edge. But to the left of the car. Driver must be careful, because he should have imaginary view of left. It will develop after regular driving.
No3 of the above is less or more equal to that of a motor cycle. But if you are not having knowledge of two wheeler you have to develop gradually.
Release of clutch and application of accelerator should practice more carefully. One should know the relationship of a clutch and accelerator. Than only can drive perfectly.
Language of a car: Always car speaks to you. You must understand its language. When you are driving a car. The engine sound should be gradual increased. But it should not be ups and downs. If you raise the engine without providing proper load it will cry. A smooth driving of a car can clearly say by observing the engine sound. This is the clue to learners. If you are able to hear the car and understand you will be a good driver.
Do's : Always use clutch to change gear.
Use clutch when you apply break.
Release of clutch and application of accelerator are inversely proportionate.
Do not's
Do not change the gear without applying clutch.
Do not apply break without clutch.
Do not move the car without releasing hand break.
How to start car from stationary to motion.
1.release the hand break.
2. check the neutral position of gear rod.
3. start the car by moving ignition key.
4. Completely press the clutch liver.
5. move the gear rod to 1st gear.
6.gently release the clutch by moving your left leg upwards and at the same time press the accelerator gently so as to move the car slowly towards forward direction.
7. See the road clearance before turning the steering.
8. After reaching a little speed press the clutch liver and change the gear to 2nd gear position and release the clutch again and maintain the accelerator. like the same way apply other speed gears.
9. Whenever you slow downs the car by applying break in traffic immediately depending on the speed change to a lower gear. If the car stops start from first gear again.
Have insurance and the paper to prove it.
Make sure somewhere in your checklist when you exit the vehicle that you turn off the lights.
Have your license with you.
Avoid parking illegally, your car may be towed, or you may be cited and have to pay a fine.Be courteous to the others on the road.
Don't run red lights.
Be safe and follow all the posted and implied laws while driving.
Make sure you practice uphill starts when learning to operate a manual transmission. Because starting a manual transmission from a stop requires letting off the brakes and engaging the clutch (essentially placing the car in neutral), the car will roll backwards until first gear is engaged. To stop this from happening, apply the hand/parking brake, then release it as you release the clutch and the car begins to move forward. Otherwise, you risk rolling into the car behind you. Practice this technique on a sloped driveway or parking lot where it's safe to make mistakes.
Never shift into low gears at high speeds (i.e. 1st gear at 50mph). This will greatly damage or destroy your cars engine and transmission.
This is by no means a replacement to going to drivers ed.!
Always wear a seatbelt!
Always use your turn signal, and use low beam headlights when there is an approaching vehicle or when there is a vehicle in front of your vehicle.
Make sure you're in the CORRECT lane while driving.
DO NOT drink and drive. You could kill yourself or someone else.
Avoid the temptation to use your mobile phone, a few seconds distraction can cause a serious accident, so the best way to do it is turning off your cellphone until you get to your destination.
Maintenance:
Fuel Tank: To any vehicle maintenance is one of the impotent thing one should notice. In two wheelers the oil cock will have tow out puts viz. open and reserve. But in car no such facility is there. The petrol from the tank will have direct connection to the engine. One meter will be there indicating the level of the Fuel tank. Before going to any trip first check the fuel level.
Air pressure in Tyres: On par with fuel tyre pressure is also checked frequently.
Periodical checks: Engine oil, break oil, collent in radiator, etc., should be got checked by a known mechanic.
