10 Awesome Techniques to Become a Skilled Driver

[@BRIGHTSIDEOFFICIAL]

Hey guys! Are you an experienced driver of a beginner? Do you enjoy driving? Btw, these driving habits ruin your car kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6fOmp6paNysprs&

[@fcbarcelonatv4033]

BRIGHT SIDE if you replied to this idk what I’d do

[@AdolfoPerezSBG]

Yes I am. I do break with my left foot. 👍🏻

[@jordanbell4420]

You should have mentioned clutchless shifting. It means you can left food brake and downshift at the same time, and it means if your clutch stops working, you can still drive the car to a garage.

[@projectjdm5969]

I’m to young to drive 😭😭

[@theomnipotent9198]

i was actually 14 when i first drove and no i wasnt nervous it wasn't like i never went above 17mph and stayed in 1st gear

[@OfficialMeep]

Never use left leg to brake this is one of the worst things you can do.

[@theF1stig]

why

[@alisasmith8272]

you may accidentally press gas and brake together in an accident

[@theF1stig]

but you can also accidentally press the gas instead of the brake if you only use one foot. but if I tell you to stomp your left foot, while you are sitting, you wont stomp with both feet. It's easier for the brain to control a specific leg than it is for the brain to find a specific pedal. And I'm not trying to say you're wrong, I'm just wondering why it's so quickly dismissed even though I do it and I don't feel like an issue.

[@saikrithiks2870]

If u use that leg to hold the brake, then which leg will hold the clutch when you need it... Like you need to quickly slow down the car and downshift

[@theF1stig]

I switch back and forth between left foot braking and heel and toe. But my comment was referencing automatics only, and you know that.

[@smartdrivetest]

The "Bright Side" should be banned from making any videos about driving - most of the information is just wrong! Recent moves to have drivers hold the steering wheel at 8&4 are due to injuries sustained by airbag deployment and have nothing to do with handling of the vehicle. And to add, they show an image of a truck driver "gear'n & steer'n"; ie. palming the steering wheel while turning the steering wheel, which undermines their point. And #3) heel-toe downshifting, #9 using the handbrake, #9) and braking with your left foot are all racing techniques that require thousands of hours of practice time on the race track to master - please DO NOT use these techniques in every day driving. And finally, no matter how you adjust your mirror, there are always blind areas around you vehicle that can only be seen into by shoulder checking. However, I am on board with taking a defensive driving course and looking farther down the road. All the best, Cheers Rick

[@amankumargoel9683]

@Shadz I find them only reducing fatigue for rookie drivers at low speed. It doesn't help in sharp turns.

[@knightgamingx6526]

yup some things can also damage the car in certain conditions.........

[@amankumargoel9683]

@Shadz Sharp turns are a different thing, I roll steering from one hand there, another on gear and clutch pressed.

[@MashiachTheReal1]

I use hill & toe only when I have to, as the time when a Greek secret agent was after me in his Nissan, down a steep mountain road on Crete, with a lot of switch-backs! We were both hill & toeing, but despite he knew the road as his own bed, he couldn't get me, because I was in my father's (of blessed memories!!) REAR-ENGINED Simca 1000 GSL!! He was after me because I'm the founder of a nonviolent COMMUNIST party: the UR-ACP/RD for Ultra-Reform Anarcho-COMMUNIST Party / Renatoist DIANAist, the COMRADE-Saints' party!! DIANA being the one I wanted to marry, but the P26 (a sort of MIB) in Switzerland, where I live, assassinated her the 23rd of May 1995 to prevent her from teaching me the intercontinental, secret nonverbal communication of the sinners, of which I know only two signals out of it, because I'm a taboo-breaker and whistleblower!!

[@shonalfernando1024]

Phillip Krepps me too

[@vanshagarwal367]

yeah lol 😂😂 me 2

[@yunelsonsr]

I did too.

[@wtcnl]

@ Philip Krepps I am using left foot braking since more than 30 years and it helps to control your car, especially in unexpexted situations. A bend a little too fast, another driver doing some unexpected, a crossing deer, a crossing person; you can react immediately, whenever. It will also help you to keep your foot on the throttle when you are hesitating, lift throttle or not; just keep your left foot above the brake while driving all the time. I have to add that I mounted race pedal plates on the originals. Left footbraking does not work too well with the little standard pedals of, for instance: a (modern) Fiat 500.

[@JanosZakarias]

[@sonicxdudex765]

Especially left foot braking.

[@cyberdyers]

1. Try using your brakes less. makes you move smoothly. 2. Be aware of other vehicles around you. Play a game of identify the vehicle. 3. Always talk with other drivers. make stories of them. inside your vehicle. 4. Watch the wheels of other vehicles when you are passing them. 5. Be familiar where your rear wheels are, when in the driver seat. 6. Slow down when you are approaching intersection, Never ever ignore them. 7. Start to learn driving with a slow car. 8. Start to learn driving with a car that is usually difficult to drive. 9. Always start to learn driving a MANUAL car first. 10. Watch the attitude of other drivers you can learn from them.

Breaking with my left foot? Then with which foot should I use the clutch?

[@redtra236]

Sometimes I press the clutch and brake with my left foot when stopping on a hill. It makes starting without rolling back way easier especially when pulling a trailer. Oh and I'm American some of us still use manuals...

[@355Owe]

Use your 3rd foot

[@lexsoft3969]

+Garrett Please explain it more detail. When starting on a hill, do you use your left foot both for clutch and brake at the same time ? Toe for clutch, heel for brake, or vice versa ? I think it's safer to use left foot only for the clutch, while right foot is on the brake and gas pedal at the same time. Right foot position is heel on gas while toe is on brake, similar to the heel-toe technique used for special rev-matching in a turn discussed in this video.

[@lexsoft3969]

+Koen R There is still a chance you can share your left foot for braking and clutch at the same time, similar to heel-toe technique by right foot displayed for point no.3 in the video.

[@TonywasatTWICELIGHT]

MafiK here is a thing, its not we don't, it's we can't FIND ANY

[@Sparky5869]

Are you trying to get people killed? "This technique is used by auto racers" SO WHAT! That's a horrible reason to do a handbrake turn or press both the gas and brakes. Instead, try slowing down on a sharp turn. That will definitely help with the whole safety thing.

[@DragoCubX]

Additionally, handbrake turns only really make sense on rallyes and/or off-road tracks. On dry asphalt, no race driver would do this as it will heat up the tires, put unnecessary wear on them and not even make them faster.

[@jonathanlim4585]

DragoCubX exactly. Racing drivers don't use handbrakes to turn in hairpins (it loses a ton of speed) and most racecars don't have handbrakes 😂

[@vladimirmileski2059]

Make sure to use your handbrake to make sharp corners faster in winter!

[@LAY_2036]

Haha

[@caseysales523]

This is use when you want to slow down on a curve without lowering the rpm of the engine. Only racers do this so not to loose precious seconds.

[@5610winston]

When I learned to drive, steering wheels in cars were larger diameter to give additional mechanical advantage (leverage) if power-assist was not on the build sheet. The 10-2 grip on the steering wheel made sense because the hands were generally at shoulder-width. Newer cars need less effort to steer due to lighter vehicle weight and power-assist, so steering wheels can be smaller in diameter (also improves driver comfort and vehicle interior space). With the smaller wheels, the 9-3 o'clock grip puts the hands closer to shoulder width.

[@owenanderson9395]

Left-foot braking is effective... if your body is secured by a racing harness into a tight racing seat. Otherwise, you will need your left foot to brace your body, preventing your weight's feedback onto the controls.

[@TripledSevens]

Owen Anderson aka trail braking. You can use your right foot to change the balance of the car right?

[@Unknown-wi8yv]

Also the engine could stall when it is operating in low rpm. If it is a manual

[@ChrisVanMiddelkoop]

meh, that's what heels were created for. dig your heels into the floorboards and pivot your ankle. but a harness and a nice seat make things alot easier, less fatigue. but where is the fun in that? I only do lap times and not door to door racing so I am just fine with a standard 3 point belt.

[@hasnain9654]

Owen Anderson in automatic it is not much good.

[@mr.rockel4324]

Owen Anderson Agreed! Also two foot drivers on the road have a tendency to tap the brake lights on and off as there foot is resting on the pedal. It makes it very difficult to follow as they constantly appear to be stoping.

Don't follow this trick left leg is only for clutch

Awesome skills for 3 foot drivers

[@animealpha4795]

Use left foot breaking , use heel toe downshifting. Wow, that makes sense.

[@CrazyforCruiser]

Never use left foot for braking, if you have driven manual shift car.

[@lexsoft3969]

Imagine a beginner practices left-foot braking when he has to slow down and at the same time has to change gear quickly from 4th or 3rd to 2nd or 1st.

[@BayAreaRushHour]

I used left foot braking in my manual car. Just be mindful if the corner in question requires a downshift

[@BensCoffeeRants]

lol I think because you're used to stopming on the clutch pedal it's hard to be gentle on the brake pedal with your left foot, it takes some practice and mindfulness to not slam on the brakes accidentally lol.

[@BensCoffeeRants]

heel toe method also works, I find it's easier. But for racing using left foot braking apparently helps.

[@BayAreaRushHour]

Ben left foot braking in racing scenarios are used for balance and weight transfer, heel and toe is usually used for smooth downshifting. With left foot braking on a front wheel drive car you can also tighten up the differential. Rally racers use it all the time

[@jerm1027]

Actually wrong on a lot of these. Heel-toe downshift doesn't actually save the transmission, it saves the clutch, which connects the output shaft of the engine to the input shaft of the transmission. No racer worth their salt ever recommends breaking tire traction (so handbrake turns are a no-no; drifting was invented as a handicap because one racer was bored of winning all the time and wanted a challange), and their secret to fast lap times is using the entirety of the road and brake as little as possible, and if you break with your left foot, you will be unable to shift as you won't be able to operate the clutch. Dead wrong on #1. They are side view mirrors, for looking at what's on your side. If you can see the rear of the car, they still aren't properly adjusted, and you likely still have a big blind spot. You should have a continuous line of sight from the rear-view, to the side-view, to your peripheral vision. Even something as small as a bicyclist should be uninterrupted.

[@01001011011010010110]

What about the syncro mesh in the gearbox

[@890slay]

Hand brake is used when taking very sharp corners faster than otherwise safely possible. This is due to the rear swinging outward and pointing the car along the turn.

[@RJW14]

braking with the left foot is actually legit if you're on a section of the track that doesn't require you to shift.

[@chiefdenis]

Rjw14 if you're on a track and have to brake, you almost certainly have to downshift, it's only useful on semiautomatics and only while racing

[@RJW14]

Chief Denis so in a section like the esses of Suzuka and the last part of les combes on spa, or the middle of the s corner on zandvoort you have to shift down? Not likely. :) just cases in which left foot braking could be applied.

[@deanmacka4975]

Keep your car in check and keep servicing schedule and learn basic skills to fix small issues 5. Don't drive without mirrors 6. Enjoy driving instead of racing to destination 7. Don't use racer's tricks, it doesn't matter in real life 8. Use bleep shift method to downshift 9. Keep learning to be a smoother driver than last time

Why is it dangerous in public roads and parking lots?

[@panagiotiszk]

Tripled Sevens Because your left foot (brain) haven't used the sensitivity of the break pedal and you and up slamming the breaks instead of slowing down periodically. This can end up in rear end collision to your car.

[@TripledSevens]

Παναγιώτης left foot braking (aka trail braking) technique is mostly used for sharper cornering. You can practice to brake smoothly. Racing drivers use this technique to break early and make the car turn sharper

When I first started driving a car for the first time which was an automatic, I had to force myself not to drive with both feet.

[@ryans413]

The reason you don’t do that so when you are braking nothing is touching the accelerator which can lead to unintended acceleration. When I drive my auto my left foot is up and away from any pedals but I’ve been driving auto since I got my license so I’m use to it. I can also drive a manual but I like auto for my city driving

Not a good idea to use the gas AND brake at the same time, I use my left for braking and the right for gas, but when I brake I'm totally of the gas and vice versa, I've been driving like that for 30 years now with no accidents, cause I gots impeccable driving skills! Lol!😀

[@5610winston]

When I use the gas and the brake at the same time, it is in a specific situation: starting on a steep hill with a car close behind me. My foot is wide enough and the pedals in my Frontier are spaced so that I can slip my foot to the throttle while holding the brake, feed some fuel, and raise the clutch pedal to the friction point before sliding all the way from the brake to the throttle. As an alternative, the levers for the brake and clutch pedals in the Frontier (and the previous generation Nissan trucks back to the early eighties that I know of) are close enough together near the pivot that the driver can hold the clutch fully depressed with the ball of the left foot while holding pressure on the brake pedal lever with the toe. This also allows a smooth launch on a hill. As for left-foot braking, my left foot is usually busy with other matters when driving: I had a car some years ago with the starter button under a plate on the clutch pedal which also operated the hill-holder, next to the dimmer switch and below the windshield washer pump, above the radio tuner button. The right foot is for the brake, throttle, and overdrive solenoid.

[@lexsoft3969]

Point no.3 : I don't need heel-toe technique for that purpose. Instead, I need it when doing hill start in a stop-go situation in which handbrake technique is not appropriate. Unfortunately I still struggle in doing this useful technique, especially when I use a sandal not a shoe when driving.

Proud to say that my father doesn't even have a two wheeler when I was small. I gifted him a car and I taught him to drive the car.

[@balls7361]

#9 is so wrong. Using your left foot to brakes is illegal in some states, and if your driving a manual transmission your left foot never leaves the clutch petal. If you are driving a automatic transmission and you use your left foot to brake it is likely you rest your foot on the brake petal and unknowingly put unneeded wear on your brakes

[@rakeshchandra9273]

Anticipation!! skilful and experienced driver will tell yu about this!!!

[@aniketrathore689]

If we will brake from left leg without pressing clutch the will stop

[@omarbani3010]

just because racers use their left foot for braking doesn’t mean you should. remember you’re on a public road an not a private track

[@Bususito]

first time i started car when i was 10, it was mechanical transmission and bumped it many many times but now i know the trick of how to make car not bump of course :D

It is a huge mistake to brake with your left foot. The left foot should only be used to press the clutch. If you brake with your left foot, the braking power will be huge, because the brake pedal is a soft pedal, while the clutch needs to be pressed harder, and your left foot is used to press hard.

[@johngutierrez830]

Im not sure about braking with the left foot, I don't recommend it because you might forget your right foot stepping on the gas while you release the brakes. Kinda dangerous if you think about some situations like bumper-to-bumper.

[@Ecky5165.]

Never do it that close, and it's great to learn for emergencies.

[@frenzyaze3802]

I'm using this to learn how to drive so that my dad doesn't yell at me for not automatically knowing how to drive perfectly💀

[@aakashpuri8294]

Awesome techniques to become a skilled driver Do a driving course👏👏

[@shinyheart3373]

Read the comments BEFORE watching this video.👍

[@AlexandreHill70]

Braking with left foot hahahaha Option1: Manual transmission, if you brake you'll need the clutch so you have to brake with the right foot Option2: Automatic transmission, you're not racing, you don't need to save fractions of seconds, be a grown-up and brake with the right like all pro drivers do beacause they own a manual gearbox

[@SamPyro]

#9 if you are braking or getting into a slip, how do you press the clutch? Right foot?

[@estgraffiti9251]

they are american they don’t know what clutch is

[@markettspikes5002]

Thanks a lot I’m a late driver trying to learn within the next month in a half been going at since the beginning of this month deadline end of March

Yeah

[@terrylmcpherson5610]

Great vid-Just wanted highlight few points... Besides vehicle maintenance and secure belting/seat position, avoid crossing your hands over each other when steering nor put your hands inside the steering wheel-It will hamper or prevent countering sudden, unanticipated reactions ahead of you . Get used to feeding the wheel (hand to edge of directional hand) to whatever side you're turning usually no more than 40% from desired center line at speed to avoid potential over/understeer conditions in most passenger vehicles. Another is practicing smooth transitions (steering, shifting manual transmissions & braking) to avoid upsetting vehicle dynamics in any condition. As the vid states, be alert to stay out of trouble

[@Deltafusion007]

I am planed to become a pro racer when i am an adault so this helped alot

[@aldenpermana1070]

this are the best tips in the world

[@rpm8653]

They've forgotten something..... Rev match.

[@johnthecarlord]

yes

[@thisuser5092]

#1 technique....stop using your phone while driving.

[@BurgBikers]

1:50 It's not possible for cars with manual transmission because if we brake with left foot,then who will press the clutch? Probably, it's impossible!( For Manual Transmission).Anyways,Your tricks are awesome!

[@notthirdreich9075]

I need to point this out to you. You can left foot brake in manuals. If you need to use the clutch, move your left foot or heel and toe.

[@Crafty490]

BurgBikers you can touch the clutch with your toe...its called being a pro dude...if your planning on saying something say it right....

Actually this works with manual transmission too.

[@085-vaibhavgusain9]

You do it while your are at more speed than 30 km

[@ej22_gc86]

Left foot braking is crucial in rallying. And, guess what, most rally cars of the past (the Gr. B from the 80s for example) were all manual.

[@knowledgetreasurebyarya8932]

This is very useful vedio.. driving cheyyan nalloru vedio.

[@ParaTrooper996]

no no no! never rest your hand on the gear shifter

[@patcallahan1050]

I agree for top-loaders, cable linkage doesn't matter as much. Unless you're really leaning on it. Not the best thing to do to the bushings, though.

[@Gana881]

As many racers say, brake late gas early!

[@xuaalbito8303]

most things were pointless by now new thing i learned is racers brake with left foot then wt about clutch??

[@TripledSevens]

downshifting is not pointless. In a manual, you can achieve smoother braking and prevent sudden braking. Just search on KZbin why you need to downshift As for left foot braking... It's also as known as trail braking. Braking with your right foot can be used only when you dont need to downshift in a manual gearbox, or when you're using a car with an auto gearbox. But, this is mostly driver's preference. You can also use right foot for trail braking too, as trail braking can make your car turn sharper. Theres some people who can brake faster with their left foot, some people use their right foot

[@jarnedeprins3617]

tripled sevens, ofcourse you can brake faster with your left foot, you are used to pressing the clutch in, which in most cars is harder than a brake... But what do you mean with "braking with your right foot can be used only when you don't need to downshift in a manual gearbox"? How are you going to brake and downshift, if you are braking with your left foot? I mean, I can't press the brake and clutch pedal with 1 foot at the same time, can you?

[@TripledSevens]

Jarne De Prins what i mean is when you're braking on a corner that doesn't really need to downshift for example like a long corner, while on a tighter corner you brake and downshift with heel and toe.

[@jarnedeprins3617]

tripled sevens, yes, but don't you mean left foot braking can only be used when you don't need to downshift? ofcoruse for a cornor you don't need to downshift you can use both foots to brake. although, on the roads, for corners I don't need to downshift for, I don't tend to brake(because most of the time letting off the gas is good enough for such corners), and when I'm not sure about the corner, I downshift anyway, so I have more torque coming out the corner... ofcourse on a track it might be you need to brake a little bit for a long corner, when you are coming off a straight at 300kph, and their is a long corner you need to take at 250, you can do that, but on normal roads, when driving normally, speeds are so slow, that I don't really think left foor braking is usefull... I mean, it is not that when you must do an emergency stop, letting of the gas and going to your brake takes a long time, and if your left foot is on the foot rest, like it should be, it is even going to take longer to get to the brake pedal than your right foot(unlike what they say here in this video....)

[@355Owe]

I do left foot brake then when I downshift I switch to right foot with left on clutch to perform a normal heel toe downshift

[@hashaliphilemonasher6136]

Braking with a left feet a problem. I once tried it and almost caused an accident an from there I never tried it up to now. Thanks for the video it really worthy watching it, very useful. Greetings from Namibia Windhoek.

Jerry this parking spot is a dream I tell you a dream. LOL

[@hakesworld847]

no.7 is incorrect never have your hand on the gear stick consistently you could be slipping gears without knowing it and in return wearing out your gearbox and clutch.

[@jameslittleofficial]

I will use my left food for braking, maintain the speed limits, and adjust mirrors properly!

[@iamnik17]

I'm yet to learn driving, all these tricks are really helpful and new to me 🤪
