You can CRAWL in 2nd without really getting into trouble and IMO, if you are traveling at least 10mph, you should stay out of 1st once rolling. Honestly, I am not sure if the car will even let you into 1st going that speed without some effort.

Just keep practicing and you will have it under control in no time.
