Chapter 312: Learn to drive formula

The next day, Niu Tiangou got up early. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Last night, he watched a few driving instructional videos on the Internet, basically familiar with the steps and procedures of driving, and turned over the compulsory tutorial for car drivers, but he always felt that it was not enjoyable.

Yes, just looking at it without practicing it is a fake style, and watching and practicing it is a real style.

Didn't the ancients say that "what you get on paper is shallow, and you have to bow down to it"!

He had to find a car to practice and find his feelings, otherwise, it would be a shame to waste these 20 days.

Thinking of this, Niu Tiangou came to the office of Vice President Ai on the eighth floor after breakfast, reported his situation of learning to drive, and then said that he wanted to find a car to practice.

"I didn't expect you to be so attentive, that's okay, practice early and in the morning." Vice President Ai smiled with satisfaction after hearing this, and then said briskly, "Just use my car, anyway, you will drive this car in the future." ”

"Let Manager Wang find someone who can drive to practice with you." After handing over the car keys to Niu Tiangou, Vice President Ai said softly as if instructing his younger brother, "Drive slowly and be careful when practicing." ”

"Hmm." Niu Tiangou nodded, took the key excitedly, turned around and went out the door, and went straight to Manager Wang's office.

"I'll practice with you today, anyway, I don't have anything important today, just over the car addiction."

As soon as he heard that Niu Tiangou wanted to practice driving, Manager Wang didn't say a word, stood up and took him out of the office, and said while going downstairs: "In the future, I will let Director Shi and Foreman Liao have time to accompany you to practice, these two people can drive, especially Director Shi, the car can drive smoothly, learn from him, after a long time, you will become a first-class driver." ”

Came to the garage downstairs and opened the door, Niu Tiangou first sat in the passenger cab, observing Manager Wang's movements, only to see him pull the door, get into the car, adjust the seat, fasten the seat belt, adjust the rearview mirror, close the door, step on the clutch, push the neutral, light, turn signal, observe the front and both sides of the car, honk, hang the gear, release the handbrake, release the clutch......

Although Niu Tiangou knows this set of actions by heart, Manager Wang does it naturally and coherently, like flowing water, and he can't help but secretly admire.

A steering wheel, after the car drove out of the garage and into the street, Manager Wang said while driving: "It is actually very simple to start driving, and the step formula I summarized is: step down on the clutch and ignite, and loosen the brake and loosen the clutch." ”

Manager Wang talked about his driving experience, and Niu Tiangou listened carefully. Unexpectedly, Manager Wang also has his own set of experience, which is not only concise and easy to remember, but also very practical for people like Niu Tiangou who have just learned to drive, and I can't help but memorize it a few times in my heart.

"'Pressing down' means pressing the clutch pedal with your left foot, and 'Pressing up' means starting the engine with your right hand." 'Gear' is to hang a gear, because the car is parked and hung in neutral; 'Loose brake' is to release the handbrake, not to release the foot brake (brake pedal), the vehicle starts and has nothing to do with the foot brake; 'Release the clutch' is to slowly release the clutch. In this way, the car starts. Manager Wang then explained.

"Step down on the clutch and fire on it", Niu Tiangou savored this sentence carefully, combined with the clutch knowledge he had just learned, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense.

Why do you need to put on the clutch before igniting? Because the engine must be started first, the clutch plate on the wheel transmission system must be left from the engine flywheel, so that the engine can start without load, otherwise, the engine will be hindered by friction, either it cannot be started, or it is easy to stall when it is started.

"Gear loosening brake clutch", this sentence is easier to understand.

After the engine is running normally, hang up the first gear, release the handbrake, and then slowly release the clutch pedal, the clutch plate on the wheel transmission system is close to the engine flywheel, and the power is transmitted to the wheels through friction, and the car will start naturally and smoothly.

Moreover, the operation sequence of "stepping down on the clutch and ignition" is from left to right, and the operation sequence of "hanging gear and loosening the brake and loosening the clutch" is from right to left, which is particularly easy to remember.

Then, Manager Wang shifted gears, stepped on his left foot, pulled with his right hand, and a series of movements, elegant and skillful, the car accelerated, and the scenery on both sides of the street quickly fell backwards.

"Is there a recipe for shifting gears?" Niu Tiangou asked after seeing him operating. He especially wanted to listen to the mantra, because the mantra was concise and to the point, and he did not forget it after listening to it, so as not to be able to understand the essentials after being long-winded and explaining in one go.

"It's simpler, three words: step, change, loose." Manager Wang stared ahead and explained, "Step on the clutch first, then shift to second gear, and then slowly release the clutch." This is the case for the next step-by-step shift. ”

"Step, change, loose", Niu Tiangou remembered and understood.

To press the clutch is to let the clutch plate off the engine flywheel; Shifting gears is to increase or downshift when the car continues to drive forward by inertia; Slowly releasing the clutch is to let the clutch first return to the semi-linked state, and finally to the fully linked state.

According to the knowledge of the gear lever learned, Niu Tiangou knows that shifting gears can change the size of the gear of the wheel transmission, thereby changing the speed of the vehicle; upshift acceleration, downshift deceleration; Proper acceleration not only increases vehicle speed, but also reduces fuel consumption. If you don't step on the clutch when shifting gears, the clutch plates on the wheel drivetrain are close to the engine flywheel and can't be changed at all.

The starting point is "stepping on the clutch and ignition, loosening the brake and loosening the clutch", and shifting the gear is "stepping, changing, and loosening", Niu Tiangou completely memorized it, and only these two mantras were enough for him to practice for a few days.

The car drove for about half an hour to an abandoned site, Manager Wang downshifted the car to the edge of the field, and after another series of actions, the car stopped and turned off.

"Now it's your turn."

Manager Wang opened the car door and walked down, swapping seats with Niu Tiangou.

"Is there a mantra for parking?" After Niu Tiangou sat down firmly and fastened his seat belt, he asked thinking about Manager Wang's actions just now.

"Press the clutch and footbrake, engage neutral and pull the handbrake." Maybe he knew that Niu Tiangou was going to ask again, but Manager Wang didn't think about it and said, "Press the clutch pedal and the foot brake pedal, and after the car stops, the gear lever will be hung up to neutral and the handbrake will be pulled." ”

Niu Tiangou understood, it is natural to step on the clutch, the foot brake and handbrake must be used, and of course the parking must be hung in neutral.

"Let's get started."

After Niu Tiangou became familiar with and tried to operate the two "levers" (gear lever and brake lever) and the three "pedals" (clutch pedal, brake pedal, accelerator pedal) several times, Manager Wang looked at Niu Tiangou and smiled.

"Step down on the clutch and fire up" - Niu Tiangou silently recited the mantra and operated it from left to right, and the engine made a low humming sound.

"Gear loosening, brake loosening" - Niu Tiangou groped for an operation from right to left, staring at the field in front of him, not looking at the car, and the car finally started to start!

Niu Tiangou carefully grasped the steering wheel, his eyes were wide open, although he was concentrated, the wheels under the car seemed to bully him as a novice, and he didn't listen to the steering wheel, and the car was always "snakewalking" forward, swaying from side to side, crooked.

He staggered like a drunk, and staggered like a child who had just learned to walk, swaying around the field...... Niu Tiangou was nervous for a while, his hands were in a hurry, and he began to sweat all over.

"Hold steady, don't panic, it's like this at the beginning......"

As long as the car is still "circling" in the venue, Manager Wang doesn't seem to be worried about anything, and said calmly: "Don't hold the steering wheel, hold the steering wheel with the left hand, rotate and control with one hand, and the right hand comes with assistance...... Yes, that's it...... The direction of control is completely dependent on feeling, and if you practice more, you will be familiar with it, and if you are familiar, you can make perfect. ”

After about 20 minutes, I don't know how many crooked "circles" the car "turned" in the field, Niu Tiangou finally found some feeling, it turned out that the steering wheel of the car was similar to the "dragon head" of the bicycle.

"Let's stop and rest for a while." Seeing fine beads of sweat oozing from Niu Tiangou's face, Manager Wang said.

"Step on the clutch and foot brake, hang into neutral and pull the handbrake" - Niu Tiangou uses both feet at the same time according to the mantra, steps on the clutch with his left foot, steps on the end with his right foot, and then steps on the foot brake with his right foot, and when the car stops, dial the gear lever into neutral, pull up the handbrake, and then turn off the engine.

"Well, yes, yes, the car is parked well." Maybe it's for encouragement, maybe it's really because he thinks Niu Tiangou is doing a good job, Manager Wang smiled and praised repeatedly, "I can do this for the first time I practice, it's much better than when I first learned." ”

"It's not thanks to how well you summarize those mantras." Niu Tiangou wiped his face and smiled innocently. He was telling the truth, and if he hadn't memorized the parking mantra, he would have had to scramble for a while.

The two opened the car door and got out of the car, Niu Tiangou took out a cigarette and handed it over: "You have such good driving experience, it's a pity not to be a coach." ”

Manager Wang just smiled and didn't say anything more.

"Oh, there's one important lesson I haven't told you, and that's ...... How the clutch pedal and the accelerator pedal are pressed. After the two smoked for a while, Manager Wang suddenly remembered something.

"Got a formula?" Niu Tiangou asked.

"Of course." Manager Wang smiled, and then said, "'Clutch the throttle seesaw, and you won't mess up your feet at once.'" ’”

"Seesaw?" Niu Tiangou was stunned.

"Hmm." Manager Wang flicked the cigarette ash, "Many people who have just started to learn to drive are not clear about the three pedals under their feet, and often step on the wrong pedal in a hurry, and the one who should step on this one steps on that." ”

"Actually, it's easy to figure it out. Come and see. ”

Manager Wang opened the car door and pointed to the three pedalways in the car; "The one on the left is the clutch pedal, the one on the right is the accelerator pedal, and the middle one is the foot brake (brake) pedal.

"The foot brake pedal in the middle is basically not used except for parking or in an emergency, and the most used is the clutch pedal on the left and the accelerator pedal on the right, so the driver's left foot is often leaning on the clutch pedal and the right foot is often leaning on the accelerator pedal.

"'Clutch throttle seesaw, one foot is not messy' is said that the clutch pedal and the accelerator pedal are like the two ends of the seesaw, this end is slowly stepped on, that end is slowly lifted up, that is to say, when you step on the clutch pedal, you must release the accelerator pedal at the same time, and when you step on the accelerator pedal, you must loosen the clutch pedal at the same time.

"For example, when the car started just now, when the car started to 'press down on the clutch and ignite', the accelerator pedal was raised, and when the gear was loosened and the clutch was released, the accelerator pedal was slowly depressed. Just now you didn't press the accelerator pedal and started successfully, because the car is in good condition and the road conditions are good, if you encounter bad car conditions or road conditions, release the clutch without slowly stepping on the accelerator to refuel, the car is likely to stall.

"For another example, when I stopped the car just now and 'pressed the clutch and foot brake', the accelerator pedal was naturally released and lifted. In this way, the left and right feet usually cooperate with the training like stepping on a seesaw, and after a long time, they will have a tacit understanding, and naturally there will be no rush. ”

"Remembered." Niu Tiangou nodded seriously.

When the clutch is pressed, the throttle is raised; When the throttle is pressed, the clutch is raised. This is easy to understand: the clutch pedal is slowly pressed, the clutch plate is slowly separated from the engine flywheel, there is no need to increase the power, naturally there is no need to refuel, the accelerator pedal must be slowly lifted, and the clutch pedal is slowly raised, the clutch plate and the engine flywheel are slowly approached, and the power needs to be transmitted through friction, so it is natural to refuel, and the accelerator pedal must be slowly pressed, otherwise, it is strange that there is no flameout.
