1st Gear is used for moving off, manoeuvring and for creeping slowly in traffic and at junctions. 2nd Gear is used for moving off down very steep hills, building up speed after moving away and driving at low speeds. 3rd Gear is used to build up speed and when you need more power for climbing hills. 4th Gear is used for driving at speeds generally higher than 30 mph, where there are no hazards to confront. 5th or 6th Gear not all vehicles have a 5th or 6th gear, which gives better fuel economy.
To Practise - change UP through the gears on the road, first find a fairly straight, wide road where there is little or no other traffic. Move off in first gear and change into 2nd gear as soon as you can. Accelerate to about 15-20 mph, then change into 3rd gear. Accelerate in 3rd to 25-30 mph and then change into 4th. To Practise - change DOWN through the gears When you have built up your speed to 30 mph and you are in 4th gear, Check the mirror to make sure it is safe. Brake gently to slow the car down to about 20 mph. Release the brake and change into 3rd gear.
We can change down the gears in blocks, such as 5th to 2nd or 4th to 2nd. If you are driving along at 50 mph in 5th gear, and you want to turn left into a side road, you may be able to do so without having to stop, as you approach the junction you need to reduce your speed until you are going slowly enough to take the junction safely, when you have slowed down to a safe speed using the brakes, you have to select a gear that will drive the car comfortably at that speed, in most cars the best gear for the job will be 2nd, so move the gear lever directly to the second gear position skipping the other gears.

Changing gears in an automatic vehicle is easy. The car will automatically shift gears as you accelerate. All you have to do is put the car into “Drive” and use the gas pedal to go. If you want to shift gears manually, most cars have a “+” and “-” sign on the gear shifter. To upshift or move to a higher gear, you press the “+” sign. For downshifting or shifting to a lower gear, press the “-” sign. The gears are usually labeled with the letters P, R, N, D, and L (or 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). 1st Gear: This is the lowest gear ratio used when the car stops or moves very slowly. 2nd Gear: The second and third gear helps ramp up the momentum and generate more power from the engine to drive speed. 4th Gear: This gear ratio is used when the car is moving at its fastest and needs the most power from the engine. 5th Gear: This gear ratio is sometimes used in automatic transmissions.

The basic rule is that you change up through the gears as the speed of the car increases and down when you need more power from the engine. The correct sequence for changing gear is as follows: Make sure that it is safe to change gear. Next, ease off the accelerator pedal just prior to depressing the clutch pedal. Select the appropriate gear using your left hand while being careful to look ahead and not at the gear lever. To select first gear place your left hand onto the gear lever, palm away from you. Cup your hand around the gear lever and move it across to the left and forward. To move from first to second gear keep your hand on the gear lever, palm away from you, apply slight pressure to the left to stop the gear lever springing back to the central neutral position, and move the gear lever straight back. Now move your hand so that your palm is facing you, cupping the gear lever, to select the next gear. For third gear, move the gear lever forward, allow it to spring into the central neutral position then move it forward to select third gear. Keeping your hand in the same position, move the gear lever straight back to select fourth gear. To select fifth gear keep your hand in the same position and move the gear lever forwards, across to the right against the neutral spring and forwards. Release the clutch pedal just prior to reapplying pressure to the accelerator pedal with your right foot.
