Learning to drive a car is something very easy especially for automatic car. Learning to drive a manual transmission car is more challenging than learning to drive an automatic car. The automobile technology is improving day by day and driving a car is no longer something hard like in the pass. Top 5 tips have been shared here to teach you how to drive a manual or auto car.

Tips for manual transmission car

1. Seat position

Most of the beginner overlook this issue and make them feel harder and harder to learn to drive a car. Therefore Angelina would like to repeat it here again and again to emphasize this issue. The difference between a manual transmission car and an automatic car is the “clutch”. Clutch is the main key, thus if the seat position is too far for the driver to access the clutch, learning to drive a car is no longer a problem.

2. Remember to brake the car with both legs!

1 leg on brake pedal, another on clutch pedal. This mistake always happens for beginners who just learn to drive a manual transmission car from an automatic car. This is because the automatic car do not have clutch pedal.

Tips for automatic car
