Ask yourself this question and answer it by trying a quick stop on a quiet street before entering traffic. It will relieve your mind of all doubt and help you to drive more comfortably and more safely.
Most of the trouble experienced in gear shifting in traffic is the result of failing to keep the foot off the accelerator when the engine should be idling. Nervous tension is the explanation.
