[@ibnuskyline2690]

hi may i ask u Whats is battling point? Thanks for the answer from Malaysia with respect

[@ghostalpha2886]

Biting point (which I think you're referring to) is where you put the clutch in, then throttle gradually to the point where you feel the back of the car dipping down slightly, the engine sound changes and you'd be ready to pull away, dependent on the RPM and whether you're on an even surface or an incline (uphill or downhill).

[@እግዝኣብሄርጋሳየይዩ]

Ibnu Skyline hi bitting point is just when you hold the clutch of the car ready inorder to make the car ready for moving,but it is still not moving.

[@lorrainedavidson8227]

Thank you for these videos im learning my instructors excellent but this is great revision as I am struggling to control the feet 😞

[@footballhighlights1604]

I already subscribe you all the 3 phones I have in my home ineed video about changing c Gears when to change gear and how I have problem with the gear And thank u a lot ur amazing

i find myself watching his vids not just to learn but to calm myself before a driving lesson his voice is so calming, like a discovery channel narrator.

[@fukatrumume9750]

Thanks much for the L😂L

[@Kottery]

Man, that's some gnarly traffic. I would be nervous in it even in my automatic let alone a manual.

[@MuhmmedNadeem-cy2tj]

WOW London is sooooo BEAUTIFUL!! Reminds me of the graphics in games! So beautiful!

[@PretentiousPainters]

wow, after watching many videos on yotube on how to drive manuals, i think by far you are the best teacher for driving in general on you tube. i know this video isnt about manual driving but i was just watching you foot pedals screeen the whole time to see what you do.

[@808BAMFasian]

These videos are probably the most clear I've came across so far. Soothing voice too lol

[@gorviv529]

I truly appreciate these videos. they are so reassuring. can't find videos like this for manual transmission in the us with such detail on situational driving. Keep them coming!

[@thingujamajitkumar3308]

You teach it thouroughly than any other driving school.. Very good in teaching... hands up for u..

[@eagl3007]

I like the casual ferraris and Lambo you pass by

[@aryandahyek7472]

Passed my test today thank you for these videos.

[@worlddriving]

Hi! Congratulations! Thanks for watching and keep up the safe driving ☺️

[@hg6551]

That tram stuff looks like terrifying madness, but is super cool all in one.

Thanks and much love from Germany. Your videos are helping so much. You help me more than my driving Teacher😊.

Hi! Thanks for watching from Germany 🙂

[@FraserTwitchett]

Just passed my driving test this afternoon with 3 minors, THANK YOU!!!

[@igordc16]

Thanks a lot, I am 100% sure that this video will help me a lot, I'm from Brazil and I'm take my drive license, and I always let the car stall, because I do not have this control over the clutch.

[@worlddriving]

Hi! Hope it helps a bit and thanks for watching ☺️

[@Champsterz]

this is good bed time video.. the audio is very soothing.

[@SnedzTheBricklayer]

Passed 6 months ago and about to drive into Glasgow for the first time , wish me luck 😅

[@worlddriving]

Hi! Good luck :)

[@SasukeEver]

bought a petrol after learning in a diesel was stuck on the first light for 10-15mins because i couldnt hill start in a petrol car, wanted to kms

[@lcpd26]

Lol I wouldn't have patience to do so I would just put the clutch in Rev the engine to 4000 and drop the clutch if I couldn't move just to go yes it will spin the wheels but better than be stuck for 15 min xd

[@vali69]

I like how there are a ton of scooter delivery guys... and how u tell that u should be aware of motorcyclists and cyclists.... not many take them into account... especially those who arent from london where it seems there a lot of them...

[@sophiamurry9218]

Hi Chris, thanks for this video, I have watched and learned a lot from them, especially the signs as I find them confusing! Although I don't often comment on videos, I definitely appreciate and watch them. Many thanks

[@worlddriving]

Hi! Thanks for your nice comment ☺️

Such a smooth voice bro

[@sputnik3258]

Zebra crossing, someone wanted to cross.. Lets the pedestrian cross. In Philippines, Zebra crossing, someone wanted to cross. Honks and shouts at pedestrian crossing, increases speed then never let them pass.

[@nobbynobbynoob]

I suppose you could drive rudely like this in the UK too, but it is never to be recommended of course, and you likely would not last on the road very long, for it would be only a matter of time before you were pulled over and booked for careless or even dangerous driving by a Police Officer, and eventually be banned from driving by a magistrate. If you then drive after being banned, you may face prison.

[@nataleonardo1001]

thanks a lot! it's really a great help to me. I'm Indonesian

[@worlddriving]

HI! Thanks for watching :)

[@KrayzieBonefan1999]

Hi! Thanks for watching ☺️

[@ahmadbaihaqimatzahari4558]

When I released the clutch and my car started to move backward so I panicked and stalled the car

[@BigRobChicagoPL]

I was going to buy a manual 20' civic but I'm saying screw it. I drive into downtown Chicago where people J walk and cars are a-holes, last thing I need to worry about is a clutch. Getting the CVT

[@Philbyyyy]

Do more of these please!

[@Derpaherpa123]

Sometime i feel i learnt to drive only to experience how to sit in traffic

[@yonasmisganaw6023]

Thanks for the lesson and i am very grateful to you and your channel but i want to know what is this biting point ?

[@worlddriving]

Hi! When you're in 1st gear and you slowly raise the clutch you'll feel the rear of the car dip slightly and the engine sound changes and that's when you have the biting point. It's when the car feels like it wants to move.

[@ryonagoro1956]

very helpful.. 😀

[@CrAzYBeAvEr39]

Isn’t this considered riding the clutch? Doesn’t this wear out your clutch? Just asking new to this. Thanks for your vids :)

[@I.K.E.L.O.S]

My only issue with driving stick in traffic is when I'm in like 2nd gear and the car in front of me slows down a ton (6:09) and I either can stop compelty and put in first or clutch control in second but I always stall when I do the second option. The first option sucks in traffic cuz all the autos behind me don't realize and just honk at me. Ugh I'm so scared of driving in traffic

[@touringgrand9369]

oh it is the O2

[@onewarrior5303]

Is it okay if i use brake instead of handbrake when stopping at traffic light?

[@firestoneto]

Why didn't you change it to 1st gear at 10:48 but kept it at 2nd?

[@worlddriving]

Hi! Driving too fast for 1st 🙂

[@junhaoliang4228]

thank goodness they invented automatics, manual look so busy

[@nobbynobbynoob]

Most manual cars - modern ones at least - are almost as easy to drive as auto once you've adapted to the controls and had some practice.

When was this filmed? The weather looks great 😂

[@worlddriving]

Hi! Summer 2016 :)

[@beenbeen130]

Your videos got me through the hardest part of learning. I had a really bad instructor at first that didn't teach me how to do things, then yelled at me when I didn't do them right. How was I supposed to know? Without your videos, I think I would have given up altogether. I got a new driving instructor a while ago and he is so good that I don't even need to watch your videos, but I still do! Sitting my test next month

[@worlddriving]

Hi! Glad you didn't give up. Good luck with your driving test next month ☺️

[@karenmedler9454]

l would never stay with a bad instructor or driving school ! They have a duty of care to make sure you learn properly and that doesn`t include yelling and shouting, if more people stand up to these bullys the bad driving schools will get less pupils and make less money while the good ones will prosper !!!

[@brutalbutler]

Passed my test a while ago but i still watch your videos lol

Driving in the UK is so beautiful. It is actually a pleasure to drive around, even in cities. Here in America, (the only exception being an open road, like out in the countryside), it's just short of bloody Barbaric. We are not to Russia levels yet,(no offense intended to Mother Russia), but it is getting there swiftly. Everyday feels more like I am driving in a Third World country. America has the most dangerous road system of any developed country, because here, cars rule, bikers,cylists, pedestrians, all are at the mercy of the almighty motor vehicle. That is why it feels so prehistoric driving here, and such an exquisite experience in the UK.

[@joshbacon8241]

11:48 - I spy a 918 Spyder!!

[@anyac4955]

I got my driving license many many years ago and, as I have not driven a car for ages and forgot how to drive, I am presently taking some refresher lessons in North London. I have watched many of your videos and I really like them. I have learnt a lot (things I forgot, or things I never knew). Good filming, very useful comments and explanations, pleasant voice and good talking speed, good sound. I also like how you show, at the same time as the road, the work you do with the pedals and the gear lever.

[@worlddriving]

Hi! Thanks for your nice comment, it's really appreciated 🙂

So many sick cars just on the street.. damn :( I'd be lucky to spot a regular Porsche once a month, and in this video it's just like; lime green Huracan, yellow Ferarri 458, red Ferrari 458, pimped out Porsche 918, Aston Martin cabriolet, ~2018 Porsche 911.. I could keep going

[@nobbynobbynoob]

Many people who live in central London are very wealthy. Non-wealthy people (even middle class) cannot really afford the housing costs of inner London. Even large parts of outer London, including Bromley, the "home" borough of this particular driving school, are still very expensive for housing costs, and space is at a premium. However, that aside, London is a great city.

[@fitnessxpro3203]

Hi Chris you are truely a genuine instructor those facilitate many new driver around the country Thanks Riaz london

[@Ajd83.]

Literally just had my first driving lessons today, 3hours ago. Started watching your videos a week ago. Your explanation of every action is really what attracted me to your messages. Plus you install a calm tone to it. Really highlights the need to always remain, aware, confident and in control of the vehicle. Excellent

[@worlddriving]

Hi! Thanks for your nice comment. Hope you'll enjoy driving :)

[@IntSavior]

Very instructive! Thank you so much for making these awesome videos, sir.

This is what the naysayers of Los Angeles need. Also, less idiotic pedestrians (junkies) tossing themselves in front of cars fighting demons. Looking forward to driving a manual in Texas when I'm out and gone from California's third-world roads and conditions!

[@cherryvintage4888]

Are you working also as a narrator? You should try that too. Like on national geographic channel or discovery channel.

[@Duncan94]

The traffic lights at 5:20 are interesting? If they were to change to red how would you know where to stop as there is no stop line? Would you just treat it as a temporary set of lights at roadworks, just stop in front of them?

[@worlddriving]

Hi! Well spotted. They are a bit different as there isn't a stop line. They're the lights for when they raise the bridge. Stop in front of them :)

[@kyosev942]

I was wondering why my instructor always wants me to keep my leg on the clutch when I'm in first or even in higher gear when I am moving slowly even if I have more than enough speed to take the corner smoothly. You are doing it as I think it's supposed to be done - with little to no clutch and pressing it if you need to drive with less than 5 mph or if you need to fully stop. Thanks for making me sure that I am not doing something wrong.

[@harveydeleon4152]

Finally , thought i use my clutch too much, since i too am holding it with 1st gear and brake for about 3 to 8seconds, while waiting to make a right.or.left turn, to.let vehicles on their.right.of way to move first.

[@gregwatts7359]

Hi Chris, I passed my test today, and I just wanted to say thanks as your videos have really helped me :)

[@rolandsequeira]

I thought there were narrow roads and traffic only in India!

[@worlddriving]

No, they're here too 😂

[@numathesaint872]

so it is better to just leave a bigger than average gap and cruise on 1st. saves my leg, saves the clutch.

[@abhishekpatil5430]

hello i am from india your videos are very helpful especially the one you made on the clutch control,in our country there are no instructors,your videos made me a good driver

[@bengxo]

I passed a year ago and still watch your videos. I was driving at night over London Bridge when I first got my car and noticed three white flashing lights (positioned into a triangle). I didn't know what to do, got anxious and carried on driving until I was off the bridge. The oncoming traffic had a barrier come down before anything on my side did (unless I had passed it on the other end). I can't seem to find anything that looks like those lights anywhere online. I was wondering if you knew what they were for and what they mean? Many thanks in advance!

[@footy2rock]

But what if you have to take off quickly, when theres 6 cars behind you at traffic lights.Cant take off slowly like you show in your videos

4:40 This is the kind of advice/teaching that learner drivers need. The instructor I was with never told me anything like this, and instead just got angry at me for making mistakes. At least World Driving knows how to teach.

[@worlddriving]

Hi! Appreciate you watching :)

[@scorpA7X]

;)

[@scorpA7X]

Uhm, Chris, sorry for the question, it's just a curiosity of mine. When you change up gear, do you give a little bit of gas raising the clutch pedal? Seems like that in the video!:)

[@worlddriving]

No I don't as this car doesn't need it. But in some cars it might be necessary for a smooth gear change.

[@scorpA7X]

Yeah, you're right as always. In a car of mine, especially with cold engine, i've a smooth gear changing if I do it. Thanks for the answer, really! I hope that in the future, in my city, will be instructors like you..I saw a driving of a friend of mine with his instructors, and he keep on saying that gas is not necessarily to go and that my friend must not use it...what? Now he can't drive a petrol car without some practice. :/

[@dawnmcmurray4153]

Great video Chris! I passed just before Christmas but I still watch every upload :) Just recently moved to Birmingham city centre which is much busier and more congested than where I used to live so this video was perfect timing :) Just wondering have you ever done a video on dealing with spiral roundabouts? If not I really hope you will. Roundabouts in general were my kryptonite learning to drive until I watched your video on how to deal with them and anticipating other road users. I actually watched it again just before my test and I encountered 7 roundabouts on the test in rush hour and managed them all perfectly! Spirals are relatively new to me and still leave me a bit nervous! Would love to see you make them easy like you do with everything else 😊
