Hi /n/, you have some general tips for driving? I've been taking lessons for a while now but I still don't feel quite "in control" of a shift car despite driving decently, i.e. I always feel like I'm barreling forward through turns unless I spam the clutch. Often my left foot will hurt after a lesson. Am I being too rigid or is driving just hard?

And general tips would be appreciates.

Look for cyclists and peda at all times, all times. Use your blinker at all times or I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU.

It has to do with the 'mechanism' by which our brains allow us to be tool users: Any tool you use becomes, so far as your brain is concerned, an *extension* of your body, like a new limb you've gained. Believe it or not that also applies to driving any vehicle. The catch is that you have to be consistent and experienced enough with that 'tool' for that phenomenon to occur. You're not experienced enough yet for the car to feel like an extension of your body, it's still this foreign 'thing' that you're struggling with. This will come with time, consistency, and experience.

just keep at it and eventually you'll find it becomes natural.

it took about a year for me to get to that point, although you can drive just fine before everything becomes fluid.

You also spam shitposts about cars in the wrong places in 4chan. There is another forum for car shit. Go post there, cager.

Remember that the car is a tool at your command. You should never feel like the car dictates your speed, just shift into a lower gear. Don't be afraid to shift often, don't be afraid to completely stop and start again. Practice driving slowly and starting smoothly. Stalling happens.

This, I cannot think of a better place for questions of this nature to be answered. Cars are a form of transportation.

Ignore this hater, OP, he in no way represents the larger community here who will be only too happy to answer all your car and other transport-related questions.

It is with the warmest regards that I welcome you to /n/.

Drive more and more. Once you get good at it, you might find you like driving. That's me: I love driving. I will sometimes spend the time and money just to take back roads to some gas station to buy a soda or something stupid.

Also, drivers ed is a meme. It's really only good for learning the rules of the road. When it comes to actual driving, they are overly strict. They tell you to only use 10 and 2 but I drive all the time with one hand or just weird grips.

put your left foot flat on the floor when you're not shifting or going to be shifting.

when i was learning i sat it on the clutch and that made it hurt, i switched to only sitting it on the clutch in heavy congestion and the pain went away. You'll notice the angle of the clutch and brake are different to the accelorator because you're not supposed to have your feet on them the whole trip.

OP is asking a driving question, not a car question. His thread is fine here.
