    Don't worry. As long as no one tags @scottied67 we're fine.

    No.

    No way, no how, no chance.

    We already have a thread where we can all be told we're making right turns improperly. It's not happening in this one.

    Experience does tend to be the best teacher, but it takes time to do it. All lf that will come soon enough.

    For now, let's make sure OP knows how to not burn his clutch up prematurely.

    The fate of the world as we know it. Or maybe it was about aliens in Roswell, NM.

    Nope as long as you're not going all the way to engaging the clutch brake.
    Nothing wrong with skipping gears either.

    You go into the gear you need to depending on speed, rpm's and maneuver.
    I like to work on down shifting myself. Any opportunity I have I work on it. Myself, f you if you don't like the speed I am going. I will do what is safe
    Until then, speed by me and get those tickets.
