3 problems when drive manual

[coutuser]

1) slow in moving off from junction. I have problems 'feeling' the position of the half clutch and moving off. By the time the car moves, i think the traffic condition of the road change already.

2) Doing u-turn. When I do u-turn I occupy 2 lanes. When the car move off I will naturally press the accelerator. In the end, the car speed very fast and occupy 2 lanes.

3) Turning the steering wheel. When u turn have to turn 1.5 times, but I find it very difficult to coordinate the turning in such a short time.

Jialat liao. Instructor also pig chek

Lesson 1: Learnt basics
Lesson 2: Learnt to attain speed of walking man when doing clutch
Lesson 3: Learnt to clutch and brake in to prevent stall
Lesson 4: Fail to u-turn and move off in roads that dont lead straight

I thought its pretty normal for car to occupy 2 lanes when doing U turn?
Even bikes need 1.5 lanes to U turn properly

(2) & (3) not really due to manual lah.. u drive auto also no diff.. just need more practise..

 

[escksu]

1 - don't worry, just don't take too long
2 - after the U turn you won't be in lane 1, it's normal. just signal left and keep left? :O
3 - practice

please ask ur intructor and listen carefully la.. u-turn needs space, so is uturn into 2nd lane and den safely filter back to the 3rd lane.

For a 3 lanes road, left most is lane 3, middle is lane 2 and right most lane is lane 1.

lane 1 is start from right side
