Finally about to officially learn to drive, Lao Zhao attaches great importance to this, specially Baidu basic car knowledge, and even downloaded a simulator for learning to drive, and drove it with his fingers first. While observing from the sidelines, I also learned about the position and function of "clutch", "brake" and "accelerator". The next day, after breakfast, we went to the place where we practiced according to the time told by the driving school staff. When we arrived, there were several "senior brothers and sisters" already sitting on the small bench next to us, and the white Jetta coach was slowly pouring into the parking space painted on the ground.

After a few face-to-face visits, the staff of the driving school was already familiar with us, and after walking over to the coach sitting in the passenger seat of the coach, he asked the two of us to go to the side to find a place to sit in the shade. There were no apps like "Douyin" and "WeChat" before, so I was really bored sitting there with Lao Zhaogan, and the waiting time was particularly long. However, since it was the first time to wait for the learning to drive, the inner tension and excitement helped us consume some of the sleepiness caused by boredom. After all the previous "senior brothers and sisters" have practiced, it is finally the turn of the two of us. After some humility, Lao Zhao still insisted that I experience it first.

The previous brother had already moved the car out of the "garage", and I looked at the size and location of the garage, still a little worried. After getting into the car, the instructor explained to me the basic composition of the car, as well as how to hang the first gear and the reverse gear. He speaks with a big tongue and a strong accent, but fortunately, Lao Zhao and I both did a preview the night before and can understand both of them. After adjusting the seat and fastening the seat belt under the guidance of the coach, the exciting moment finally arrived.

"Come, Zhuo (left) foot wood (step) clutch." The coach looked at me nervously and said, "Hang in gear!" ”

Well? Isn't it reversing? Hang a gear is forward, and there is a wall not far ahead.

Although there are doubts, the coach always makes sense to say this, according to the coach's instructions, I stepped on the clutch hard, moved my eyes to the gear lever in the middle of the car, which was almost skinless, and then pushed it back to the left and pushed it up, after doing the action, I glanced at the coach weakly, and after 0.5 seconds of awkward eye contact, we both looked away.

"The foot slowly loosens the clutch." The coach's tone was somewhat nonchalant.

The coach looked calmly ahead, and I was already sweating profusely after the previous operation, and as my feet slowly lifted, the car slowly moved forward.

"Okay, Chai (step) clutch, hang reverse gear. Reversing" didn't drive a three-meter coach before he called a stop. I followed the instructor's instructions, pressed the gear lever down and then pushed it up to the left, and my left foot began to slowly release the clutch, and a miraculous scene occurred: the car was still driving forward!!

"Chai (step) clutch Clutch Clutch Clutch! Look where you're hanging! The coach stepped on the secondary brake and said angrily.

My back, which was already nervous, was wet again, and I hurriedly looked at the gear lever, wondering for a while: Didn't I hang it according to what you said, and where can I see what gear is hanging?

Although there were complaints, he still honestly hung the gear to neutral and hung it again, and was just about to let go and was stopped by the coach: "Stop, stop, stop!" Clutch Chai (stepping) hold! Look ahead! "After saying that, he angrily helped me hang up the reverse gear, and the action was no different from me." You have to re-hang your own debt (again)! ”

I did so with a lot of doubts, and this time I pressed the gear lever down very hard, and then leaned very the top left, and if I hadn't hung it up this time, it would have hit the wall! I tentatively let go, and the car finally went backwards.

"Look at the mirror!" The coach did not forget to remind, "The steering wheel is gripped!" ”

The car reversed three meters, and the coach stopped me again, and then asked me to repeat the previous action. I just went forward and backward three times, and the coach asked me to get out of the car and call the next one. Sure enough, Lao Zhao was also like me, and he did it three times forward and backward and got out of the car.

In the afternoon, when we went, the instructor happened to be absent, and a big brother who was about 30 years old was talking to other students about driving with relish, and several students who failed to leave the garage or fail to enter the garage would politely ask him to help correct the car. This made me mistakenly think that he was the assistant instructor of this driving school, and a sense of respect arose, and when it was my turn to "move forward and backward", he called out "assistant coach" with respect. With these three words, this big brother took special care of me after that, sitting in the co-pilot and patiently teaching me. It's a pity that he's about to take an exam, which means he's leaving this learning spot.

For the next two days, we practiced moving forward and backwards, and the excitement and studious spirit of the previous time were wiped out in an instant, but I didn't make a mistake in the gear. While waiting to learn to drive, we often get other students to talk about getting a driver's license. According to the "assistant coach" who is about to take the test, the driver's license test in the Chahachong area has fully adopted electronic infrared equipment, and operations such as crimping, touching the lever, hitting the wrong direction, and turning off the engine will be directly judged to be unqualified, and there will no longer be those "human operations" in the past, which can be said to be the most difficult in history. Hearing this, I also understood why the driving school canceled the "guaranteed class", and began to rejoice that I had encountered such a fair era, and felt that with such a strong learning ability, getting a driver's license was just around the corner.

After three days of preparatory teaching, the coach finally began to teach me and Lao Zhao "real things". This made me begin to admire the test-taking ability of the Chinese people, which can really be said to have policies and countermeasures. According to the on-site information of the examination room, the field test of subject 2 will have four vertical poles at the four corners of the target parking space. After continuous research, the teachers of the driving school have summed up a set of test-taking teaching methods accurate to the number of turns of the steering wheel according to the changes in the visual distance between them and the vertical bar and parking space line, taking the car's logo, wipers, ABC pillars, car seats, etc. as references. Although there will be some differences in the height of each driver, according to this set of teaching methods, it can basically perfectly realize the reversing and moving and out of the warehouse.

However, it is easy to talk about it, but it is really difficult to put it into practice. Learning to drive is a technical job that requires the use of hands, feet, eyes, and brains, not to mention that there is a coach sitting next to you who always makes you doubt your IQ. In addition, we are still enrolled in the ordinary basic class, and there are few opportunities to operate, if there are fewer people in line and can practice two or three times a day, more coaches will be unhappy. That's it, stalling, hitting the bar, crimping...... These common mistakes, Lao Zhao and I have each made several times. Coaching is naturally an "education" that makes us wonder if we are a college student. Every time I returned to the dormitory after learning to drive, Lao Zhao would spit fragrant fragrance, and I once had the idea of regretting learning to drive.

"Zhuo (left) hit the beginning (death), pour!"

"Okay, back to the right!"

……

After that, we went to learn two in the morning and afternoon every day, and under the "patient" teaching of the coach, our error rate continued to decrease, and the number of scolding was much less, and half of the summer vacation passed unconsciously.
