What's Your Driving Routine

Marami pala ako kapareho ng habit when it comes to wallet and cellphones. Ang isang di ko maalis na habit ay pagtapak ng matagal sa clutch kahit naka-full stop na ako at nasa neutral na. Madalas din na kapag may sinusundan ako na mabagal na car, press ko clutch go to neutral, babad muna bago shift to lower gear. Usually from third to second. I hope this is not damaging to my car. I am trying to remove this habit. May nabasa ako na hindi dapat matagal na naka-press and clutch pedal.
Tanong ko naman kung paano technique nyo when approching humps? Do you go to neutral?

1. kunting prayer
2. lagay sa center cellphone and sometimes wallet
3. Seatbealt
4. open ng window(depende sa weather)
5. check sa mirror
6. Start ng kotse
7. Open ko radio/mp3
8. Signal lights
9. Go

OT

nakakatakot yung neutral ang gear habang tumatakbo. kahapon lang nagshift ako sa 1st gear pero napunta pala sa neutral... nung nagbreak and turn ako sa isang corner ay ayaw magresponse nung kotse and namatayan ng makina.

Kung namatay ang makina habang nasa neutral, may diperensiya iyan. Bala masyadong mababa ang idling...

Hello po mga sir! newbie lang din po ako dito. I would like to seek for your expert opinion if I'm doing the right thing when shifting gear. I do shift up when reaching 2k to 2.5krpm and shifting down at 1k rpm. Ok lang po ba yun? Do my shifting pratice consumes me a lot of gas? Also when tail to tail traffic ok lang ba yung laging nakaapak sa clutch when at 1st gear? TIA!

Kung hindi kailangan umapak sa clutch, bitawan mo muna. Otherwise, I say you're doing the right shifting for fuel economy... Just make sure hindi mabigat ang apak (masyadong mabilis ang arangkada).
