1. Familiarize yourself with the car’s controls: Adjust the seat, mirrors, and steering wheel to ensure a comfortable driving position. Locate the pedals (accelerator, brake, and clutch if applicable), gearshift, handbrake, and indicators.

2. Start the engine: Insert the key into the ignition and turn it clockwise until the engine starts. Some cars may have a push-button start.

3. Engage the clutch (if applicable): If you are driving a manual transmission car, press the clutch pedal all the way down with your left foot.

4. Put the car into first gear (if applicable): While keeping the clutch pedal pressed, move the gearshift into first gear. Release the handbrake.

5. Gradually release the clutch: Slowly release the clutch pedal while simultaneously pressing the accelerator pedal gently with your right foot. This will allow the car to start moving forward smoothly.

6. Maintain a safe speed: Gradually increase the pressure on the accelerator pedal to increase your speed. Observe the speed limit and adjust your speed accordingly.

7. Steer the car: Use the steering wheel to control the direction of the car. Keep your hands at the 9 o’clock and 3 o’clock positions for better control.

8. Use the brakes: When you need to slow down or stop, gently apply pressure to the brake pedal with your right foot. Avoid sudden or harsh braking.

9. Change gears (if applicable): As you gain speed, you will need to shift to higher gears. To do this, press the clutch pedal, move the gearshift to the appropriate gear, and slowly release the clutch while simultaneously pressing the accelerator.

10. Use turn signals: Before making a turn or changing lanes, use the indicator lever to signal your intentions to other drivers.

11. Observe traffic rules and signals: Always follow traffic rules, obey traffic signals, and be aware of road signs. Yield to pedestrians and give right of way when necessary.

12. Park the car: When you reach your destination, find a suitable parking spot. Engage the handbrake, put the car in neutral (or park for automatic transmissions), and turn off the engine.

Remember, practice is key to becoming a confident and skilled driver. It’s also important to familiarize yourself with your local driving laws and regulations.
