How to shift gears properly..?

The harder you press your accelerator in the traffic the more you are going to use your brakes and the harder you are on your car. Easing on and off

The harder you press your accelerator in the traffic the more you are going to use your brakes and the harder you are on your car. Easing on and off the throttle in traffic and city driving is the best way to operate your car. On the fwy increase your following distance so that you can see brake lights will indicate downshifting from one gear to another. Example...im exiting the fwy. I normally will downshif fro. 6th to 4th. Im on the accelerator doing 75.....I let off the accelerator (not pushing the clutch in) glide out of 6th. Simultaneously I tap the accelerator and push the clutch in to mate with 4th gear to start my deceleration and ease the clutch out.
