Gears.
Avoid looking at the gear lever when changing the gears.
First Gear: The most powerful, but slowest. Used for moving off, low speed clutch control and for manoeuvring.
Second Gear: Also powerful, but faster than the first gear. Useful for rapid acceleration and for driving at slower speeds through some hazards.
Third Gear: A faster gear, used for acceleration from over 15 mph. Used for driving through some hazards.
Fourth Gear: The most economical gear, with insufficient power for speeds of much lower than 25 mph. Used to provide progressive acceleration from over 25-30 mph and for cruising at constant speeds.
Fifth Gear: Used as an aid for cruising at sustained higher speeds.
