Whether or not you find driving hard, it’s one of the most important skills to have in life.
It could be you need it for work, pleasure or just running simple errands. Now if you dread certain manoeuvres behind the wheel, TikTok is usually a good place to learn a thing or two.
Over on the platform, motoring expert @master_driver666, who boasts 1.1million followers, recently shared five steps to improving your skills in the car. Her caption read: “Five steps to teach you how to drive.”
In the clip, the guru disclosed the five steps which include: “1. Apply the brakes. 2. Start the car. 3. Shift to D position (if you’re driving an automatic). 4. Release the handbrake. 5. Step on the accelerator.”
While all the knowledge seems very self-explanatory and obvious, she then showed how to pull out of a parking spot without hitting the car next to you.
Once you put your foot on the pedal and pull out, make sure your passenger door is aligned with the car next to you. Then you can turn to the left or right safely without hitting into the side of their vehicle.
Since the clear and instructive video was shared on TikTok, it quickly racked up 2,000 likes and a few comments from fans. One said: “Break and clutch, make sure the car is in first gear, lift the clutch up slowly.”
While another admitted: “I was taught we need to do: Break > Start > Neutral > Release handbrake > Change to D and then go.” Recently, another motoring expert revealed how you can remove scratches using a household item.
