I've learned
1st Course - move, lots, parking!
2nd Transition - to 30 kmh
3rd Gang - 30 - 50 kmh
4th Gang - 50 - 70 kmh
5th starting from 70 kmh
Down turn in strong rides on mountain (so you have more power)
Down turn in strong downhill and one (due to engine brake)
At the second turn anyway course
Acceleration lane highway third Response, delay stripes as .
I've learned anything from few months to pass the driving school, and found to be good;)

Downshift when driving uphill or downhill also, if you have to accelerate strongly zb overtaking; looking at not only the speedometer, but also look at the speed display: you drive a diesel is best between 1500 and 3000, max. to 4000, a gasoline max between 2000 and 3500. to 5000 rpm.

sometimes I look at the speedometer for a brief moment and then I know which gear to push. But with time you learn without looking, you'll be able to estimate speed yourself and automatically push the correct gear. But often you'll just push the gear in idle position, slow down and brake until you stop.

I usually listen or feel how the engine runs. If it feels like it's not right and the accelaration is somewhat lacking, I lower gears. If the engine feels like its growling and pressured, I increase the gears. It depends on the ride so try to feel how your ride goes, once you get used to it, it's going to be easy.
