Driving a manual car smoothly in Pakistani traffic requires practice and patience:
- Clutch Control: Press the clutch fully when shifting gears and release it gradually to avoid jerks.
- Proper Gear Selection: Shift gears based on speed—1st gear for starting, 2nd for low speeds, and higher gears for highways.
- Avoid Sudden Braking: Use engine braking (downshifting) instead of slamming the brakes.
- Rev Matching: Try to keep the RPM steady while changing gears to ensure smooth transitions.
- Practice in Low-Traffic Areas: Roads in Pakistan can be crowded, so practice in open spaces before entering busy traffic.
