A recent video from a Japanese driving school is shedding light on a common hurdle for new drivers: mastering manual transmission gear changes. The footage features an instructor from Tsukinowa Driving School in Otsu, Shiga Prefecture, guiding a student through a practical lesson. The student, identified as "Kussun-san," was observed driving at 50 km/h in a low gear, causing audible strain on the vehicle. The instructor promptly addressed the issue, explaining the necessity of sequentially shifting through second and third gears as speed increases. "Kussun-san, you've been driving in low gear this whole time," the instructor noted, emphasizing the importance of proper gear selection. Recognizing the student's difficulty, the instructor offered to demonstrate. "I'll take over for a moment, so you can watch and learn the technique," he offered. During the demonstration, the instructor executed seamless shifts, prompting an impressed reaction from the student. "So smooth and skillful!" Kussun-san exclaimed, adding, "I'm envious!" The video concludes with the instructor providing further guidance on braking technique before resuming the lesson. This instructional approach highlights effective teaching methods for complex driving skills, offering valuable insights for both learners and educators in the field of driver training.
