Everything about Driving a Car.

. A pre-trip inspection should be completed:

at least once a week.
if any problems occurred the last the time the vehicle was operated.
before operating the vehicle.



2. What should you do when you are driving at night?

Make sure you are driving slow enough so you can stop within the range of your headlights in an emergency.
...

Save gas. The best ways to save gas (besides driving less or driving a fuel-efficient vehicle) are to avoid excessive idling, more gradual accelerating and decelerating, and driving slower (see report on Edmunds.com). With gas prices so high these days, wasting gas by driving unnecessarily fast is something we can’t afford.

StepsDrive less. Especially, avoid short trips. Cold starts are hard on engines, your gas mileage, and the environment. Short trips can also significantly shorten the life of your muffler. Basically, you get condensation in the exhaust when you start a cold engine, and if you don't run the car for long enough to evaporate all of the condensation out of the system, excessive amounts of water can accumulate in your muffler, and rust a hole through it. Avoid starting a cold car just to pull it into the garage, for instance. Consider walking to the nearest store for a change. Combine short errands, and, if you have multiple vehicles, drive the one more recently driven when you go out again. Do drive a car at least every week or so, since cars that sit for longer than a week or two at a time have other problems, such as fluids gradually draining out of systems. Consult a mechanic if you will store a car for an extended period.

Apply pressure to the key and turn the wheel back and forth to attempt to find a free spot where the key turns. The steering column lock can be in a bind and exert pressure against the ignition mechanism.
Place the key on a very flat, solid surface, and observe if it lays flat or is arched up from the surface either at the ends or in the middle. If it is, take a block of wood, or some similar hard object which to strike the key and bend it back to a flat shape. Do not use a hammer or other steel or hard metal object, the key is made of fairly soft metal such as brass, and the grooves may be damaged when it is struck.

When looking for a good ground for that last clamp, look for shiny metal around or on the engine. Painted, oily, or rusted metal will not work. Nuts, bolts, or other protruding shiny metal is best. There may be some sparking when you connect to a good ground. It's strongly recommended not to clip the last clamp to the dead battery (which would be an obvious choice) as the sparks that may fly when you complete the electrical circuit could ignite the hydrogen gas coming off the battery.
...

Get a working vehicle. Bring it to the disabled vehicle.
Verify that both the dead battery and the rescue battery have the same voltage. Car batteries are usually twelve Volts. Trucks/tractors may operate on a twenty-four volt system - sometimes two twelve volt batteries combined to make a twenty-four volt system.

The first thing you will need is a vehicle. Assuming you have one, the next step is to get in the vehicle, in the driver's seat. Then wear your seat belt.
For most vehicles, you will need to take the key that came with the vehicle, or a copy, and insert it into the ignition. This is often near the steering wheel and is a round piece of metal with writing with a keyhole in it. Insert the key all the way into the ignition after you find it.

Before beginning to shift gears make sure you know the gear arrangement. Many times this is posted on the top of the shifter. Generally from the center, 1st is up and left, 2nd down and left, 3rd up center, 4th down center and 5th up right. If your car has a 6th gear it will be down and right. Reverse will either be where 6th gear would be in a 5-speed or to the far left or right, depending on the vehicle.
...

StepsTry to get on some level ground. Put your seatbelt on once you get in.
Identify the pedals. In a manual car, there are three.

The one on the far left is the clutch , the middle on is the brake, and then the gas/accelerator is on the far right.(CBA)
