How Do You Drive An Automatic Car?
Anyone learning to drive should use a car equipped with an automatic transmission, since shifting gears and gaining clutch coordination on a manual transmission car takes a lot of practice. There are far too many other skills to concentrate on for the sake of becoming a safe driver. Safety is the first consideration for you, your passengers and all other occupants of the road, so here are some tips on how to operate an automatic transmission car. Check the vehicle. Look over the tires, glass, wipers and lights before getting in. Tires should be properly inflated with enough tread to touch Lincoln’s head with an inverted penny in the groove. Glass should be free of cracks and wipers able to clear rain or snow from the windshield. Check the lights in front and back as well as both turn signals. Ask someone to step on the brake pedal while you check the brake lights in the rear. Get in and buckle up. Pull the seatbelt and shoulder strap over yourself and snap it securely into the buckle.
