same here, i passed my driving test because of him, my driving instructor was too nervous

[@GhostOfSinaloa]

Hi so I'm doing my lessons at the moment and the other week I was stuck in traffic because of road works and a car wanted to move over so I flashed the lights to let him in and my instructor said if I did it on my test I would get in trouble but I was just been respectful is it true that I would be in trouble

[@ConquerDriving]

Flashing your lights can be misleading especially when others are present so it is a risky practise, just leave enough room and dip your head at them. That's usually enough and more directed at the relevant person as you will be looking directly at them.

[@tim6850]

If you leave a car in first gear on a flat surface, does it stop it from rolling backwards but not forwards?

[@kyaxii]

0:52, Why do you need to turn the engine off before selecting first gear? I always park etc with first gear in, and then just turn the engine off, and then pull handbreak up after. Does it matter?

[@aadiladi99]

Not really, but some people will probably end up letting go of the clutch and stalling before turning the engine off

[@jameswilson7521]

you should pull the hand break up first when parking on a slope but on a flat surface it doesn’t matter. (you can google this for proof)

[@ConquerDriving]

It's fine to leave it in gear with the clutch down then turn the engine off, I was just keeping it simple.

[@DoctorVision]

I've now got into a habit of leaving my car in 1st or reverse whenever I'm parked just on the off-chance the handbrake fails. It's probably only useful on my driveway which has a bit of a downward slope, but it's better to be safe than sorry I guess.

[@PalestineWillBeFreeInshaAllah1]

Are there any down sides or negatives to leaving it on 1st gear or reverse? Like any damage to the clutch?

[@DoctorVision]

@@PalestineWillBeFreeInshaAllah1 I sincerely hope not. I don't think so otherwise they wouldn't advise doing it. But if you're unsure I'd research it anyway.

[@bornforbanning]

@@PalestineWillBeFreeInshaAllah1 no, none whatsoever, your drive train can take the entire weight of the car (and then some) without the parking brake applied, so definitely keep it in gear.

[@mihaelh6783]

The handbrake always has a chance to loosen and your car just may start rolling downhill so its best to make sure you do all the things you can so you have extra protection at whatever happens

[@いちごくん-l6d]

@@PalestineWillBeFreeInshaAllah1there isn’t. It’s basic mechanics/physics. The only way you could cause a damage over time is if you then forgot to release the 1st gear before starting the engine. This will of course cause the car to stall which if done too often is not a good thing. So as long as you go back to Neutral just before starting the engine, there is no damage and it is actually “healthier” for the car than the hand break itself if that makes sense

[@davidcleckley]

When I had an automatic I never practiced any of this because the magical "P" gear did it all. Then I got a manual car, and recently my parking brake disconnected and the parts are on backorder so I won't be able to get it fixed for a little while. So now every time I park and get out of my car, I remember all this stuff and then I have to get back in the car and turn in back on to point the wheels in the right direction and select the best gear for the hill. It's the small things like this I wish I was more diligent about during my first years of driving. Thank you for covering these tips for everyone.

[@hafiz8379]

1:40 when the car was rolling backwards with it in a forward gear and the clutch up that forced the engine to spin in the opposite direction from what it’s supposed to. Could this damage the engine or cause any problems.

[@raulerrman.5401]

Good question, in modern day vehicles engines run forwards, for reverse gears an additional gear is used to turn the shaft backwards. If the engine was turned on it would stall and move backwards. In vintage 0 RPM Lanz bulldozers the engine had to turn backwards for reverse without any damage. Sorry I couldn't answer your question 🙏

[@ConquerDriving]

It is possible to cause damage when the engine is reverse, I know someone who spun on track, rolled backwards and the cam chain skipped teeth and the valve smashed into the piston so badly that it broke off and got stuck in the piston. Turns out cam chain tensioners don't always work in reverse. But this was at speed, parked on a hill the risk is much lower. I let my engine spin backwards when I was demonstrating that lower gears hold the car better than higher gears and it was fine.

Hey Richard, just some advice from a mechanic. Be careful with those demonstrations of rolling back in gear. When in gear, and rolling back, it cause the engine to turn in the wrong direction, if it turns the wrong way for long enough, it will cause it to jump timing when you start it again. I only know this from my younger years of inexperience, doing a clutch job, turned the engine backwards a bit too much, quickly turned into a timing job too!

[@ConquerDriving]

Thank you, I understand. I know someone who trashed their engine in their vx220 when they spun on track and lifted the clutch up when going backwards at speed. I have a picture of the valve embedded in the piston. I'm not worried at the speed I was doing it at though. Maybe I was a little worried but I wanted to do the demonstration.

Good point mentioning the park gear in standard transmission. I've always lived on a very steep hill and never trust parking brakes, they always seem to weak. After driving manual cars for 10 years, I finally was able to buy sensible cars/saloons with standard automatic transmission. (first a Mercedes 190E and now the Lexus IS250). Having a park gear is so much better than using the handbrake. I feel a lot safer.

[@MailboxReviews]

Nothing will hold your car other than park (In typical torque convertor automatic) Automated Manual transnission (usually without Park function is different) and Park is actually mechanical spring loaded lever that stops the whole output shaft of the transmission by lodging itself in a large gear teeths, Thats why your car may not stop the second you shift inti park sometime it rolls slightly as this lever drop into a slot and stays there.

In Switzerland, they used to teach it the following way: 1) put it in 1st (uphill) or reverse (downhill). 2) release clutch and release brake pedal - car should not move. 3) apply the parking brake. 4) press the clutch - car should not move if parking brake was applied correctly. 5) release the clutch.

[@vidzChannel]

Is it just a myth, then? That when you use the gears (1st or Reverse) to park on a hill and another car hits your car, even so gently, that because the gears were "holding" the car from rolling, that would mean the end of your gearbox?.

[@ConquerDriving]

I would guess the forces that go through your gearbox from the engine are far more significant unless it's a very big hit in which case the car would likely be written off. The engine will turn if your push the car with it in gear. But I am guessing the forces, I've not measured anything. That would be an experiment.

Do these rules apply to every manual car or only some?

If you put it in gear with the engine on and lift the clutch the car will stall or move. You can move the stick without pressing the clutch when the engine is off but it doesn't always go into gear easily.

[@MailboxReviews]

​​@@debadritorajchakrabarti9778Well, the car would be impossible to move if it was in Park(Automatic transmission) unless the part that responsible for this function fails (Parking Pawl) in Manual the gearbox is directly connected to the engine using the clutch, So if it was in gear there is three parts that helps your car stay still 1 obviously the clutch and it's clamping force this is what connects your gearbox to the engine 2 your engine compression (depends on compression ratio) and how worn out is your engine 3 engine mounts if your engine is low compression or has lost it's conpression due to age and being worn out, then your car will slowly roll, you should leave your car in the gear with the lowest ratio regardless of the direction of the car uphill or downhill by lowest ratio i mean your top speed at that specific gear it should have the lowest top speed say 1st top speed is 50kmh and reversr is 45kmh you should use reverse for example if you got your sparks plugs out your car will free roll regardless of the gear choosen, although slightly slower than neutral since the engine has some friction to overcome I hope that helps,

[@MailboxReviews]

​@@debadritorajchakrabarti9778Your car was rolling but not smoothly due to the four strokes taking place in your engine Intake Compression (obviously no ignition or spark since engine is off) and exhaust the car will move faster during the intake and exhaust phase as the valves are open and air is getting out or in the engine. so it will be a jerky motion and not smooth roll. diesel engines have higher compression ratio. thus more likely to stay put.

[@abhik1059]

As always another quality video. One query though: Whenever I see a turn or speed bump with my car in higher gear (imagine 45kph in 4th gear), I apply brakes to make its speed slower like 10-20 kph according to bend or breaker size, then I put it in 1st or 2nd gear according to car speed to cross that bend or breaker. Today I revisited an older video of yours of rev matching where you are not applying brakes & using only gear and clutch to slow down the car from 4th to 2nd gear. Which is better method to slow down for sudden obstacles or to down a gear in those sceneries. I thought that slowing through gears would put more pressure on transmission. Please make it clear for us.

If you rev match well that will cause the least wear. But it's all very minor differences, doesn't really matter.

I knew about the whole "leave the transmission in gear" business, but I'll admit, you totally got me with the steering trick. Absolutely genius! Why don't driver's instructors teach this stuff?

[@monokuma2673]

But actually you get a question in your theory about it. I mean I used this app to learn and there were questions about it.

my old driving instructor didn't, my new one teached me that on the first lesson

Any damage to the transmission of the car if i repeatedly do this?

[@edwardtye4119]

There shouldn't be, as long as you apply the handbrake before putting it in gear. If the handbrake cable snaps, then the gear will hold it. If you put it in gear then apply the handbrake, then the handbrake is the fail safe and the load is on the gearbox, not the handbrake cable. even if the load is on the transmission, the wear will be negligible.

Very unlikely although I've heard of a car getting stuck in gear after leaving it in gear after driving on track. The gearbox was super hot after the track driving.

@@ConquerDriving I see, thank you. I wasn't 100% sure if I was correct.
