What gear to be in comes with experience. My advice is don't downshift for a corner you aren't sure you should downshift for. If you find you're going too fast get on the brakes, and if you feel like it's bogging down coming out, downshift.

Things like that vary car to car, but you'll gain a general idea after you get experience.

The rest is just practice really. I'm self taught and I get along great


I work at a car dealership, so I drive many different cars. I'll stall now and again. Anybody who tells you they don't ever stall are liars.
