I passed my driving test yesterday with only two minors, first attempt. I purchased the ultimate driving course and it has really helped, especially with roundabouts! Thank you. The test is actually way easier than I thought. Just be calm, safe and legal!

[@GGMattt]

Good to know I've got these basic down pretty well, I've only got 5 hours experience with my mum so far but quickly getting confidence with driving around industrial estates :) I'll be starting paid lessons soon too. Learning a lot through your videos, Pin, always taking notes too ;)

[@hninhaymahnhtun7211]

I passed yesterday in Wolverhampton with 2 minors on my 2nd test and I cannot thank you enough for the amazing videos here. I subscribed the ultimate driving course and binged watched theses 2 weeks before. Thank you! 🎉😍😍

[@shubs-vn7nn]

Thanks a lot Pin, I've had about 15 hours of driving lessons and been watching your vids, finally feel as though I have control of the clutch and can change through the gears smoothly now :)

[@LeanLiftQuest]

I had my first lesson yesterday (3 hours) and the first hour I was on a busy hill road at 3.30pm (school traffic & work traffic) I was sh*tying bricks, in the first 20 minutes I had to stop & start but when I was starting it was a hill start, I was told that I couldn’t go to any quite roads due to the time, I was really stressed but I got through it & completed a U-turn, hillstart, parallel parking & getting into the 2nd gear, if it wasn’t for your videos I would’ve been stuck so much I’d probably end up quitting but thanks to you I knew what to do 😁

can you reverse and move forward without using the hand bake?. And I noticed you started the car while the gear was already in neutral but didn't mention it.

[@wtsang1]

Always yank the handbrake, when turning a sharp corner for fuel-efficiency, Hit every apex of a turn, most importantly get into a slip stream.

[@sunnysideup9026]

This the perfect video for me as I am going into my second lesson (I can get it perfect sometimes but struggle on others). I now know to give it some gas before bring up clutch to the biting point. I was doing it by winging it I guess. Thanks. Also your ultimate driving course is UNREAL. Got myself 14 pages of notes and I am not even half way through it. Keep it up man, if I pass it will be because of you.

[@AWTransport276]

When you want to change the gear from 1 to 2 for example, can you let go of the clutch fully without having to hold it on it’s bite point?

[@victoriahowe3190]

yes, you only really need to hold the bite when you’re moving off in 1st gear, after changing to 2nd bring it up fully

[@Scitch-et4vk]

Really appreciate the videos my friend

@@ClaireYunFarronXIII I don't mind someone preferring automatic or electric as long as they don't brag about it. A lot of electric car owners act like they're better than you because you know "environment" which is total bullshit.

[@Sam3leK]

Can I lift the clutch faster when I change gear than when setting off?

[@deekshithm7754]

Do we need press fully clutch to start the car 90 percent won't start. If it is first gear

[@MrBOXA01]

Can somebody explain something to me. I went with a new instructor and he's car is VW Diesel. This is one of the modern cars. Anyways I noticed there was no handbreak and I didn't have to add gas. I just lifted the clutch and it was moving by itself. This is all good but I have come from a petrol car where I had to find the bite and add gas. Also this new car had a hill assist mode where it stopped the car for me.. This is all well and good but I didn't enjoy the experience. I can't explain it but it felt really weird and "fake" like I wasn't in control of the car compared to my other instructors petrol car. I don't know if u should go back to my old instructors car or learn from this new modern car

does anybody else experienced driving with a clutch with a really high biting point? like i have to lift the clutch to about 80% of it's full range, just in order to get the biting point, im having a difficult time with my lessons because of it, especually during uphill starts

[@malikabbas1640]

Hi sir can I drive car on enter national licence when I applied uk driving license plz tell me thanks

[@AshDannOfficial]

Why is nobody talking about how is literally burning his clutch

[@sirAE86]

I speak as a mechanic 4:00 how to ruin clutch and release bearing. I would say to avoid. Changing gear at 2000 rpm in some situations could be wrong, low revs to stay in torque in the next gear. Safe shifts are around 2500/3000 rpm. Putting on the brakes in every situation is just a bad habit, it doesn't make sense, I don't know why people do it. Especially if the car is on the flat there is no point in pulling the handbrake, putting it in first gear is a good habit, just move forward (on the flat). Then, when the handbrake is needed it never works because you use it for everything except where it is needed, uphills, downhills, uphill starts. Did you apply the handbrake even while moving? Absurd, I would say.

[@RoadSkillsTraining]

What car is that?

[@spongsquad]

my driving instructor told me i dont need to set the gas when in a diesel car is that true?

[@hx4zx]

from my understanding not all cars add extra gas for you when moving off right, so this method may not help on hills

[@jonisman2]

Yes and no, diesel cars do accelerate more only with the clutch but on a hill you will need to press the gas and depending on the situation you need to also press the gas pedal (if you need move on quickly for example). On even terrain and without any sort of hurry sure, you can move off only with the clutch (but start to accelerate after of course)

[@unimagin2ble]

you can move off using only the clutch in a diesel, but you'll move quite slowly. it's also bad practice since if you switched to a petrol you would probably stall. you also wouldn't be able to go up a hill without gas

[@SimonBauer7]

​@@unimagin2bleyou can do so with a petrol one too. even my super old one with zero power down low can do it when on flat ground. slowly. this requires a huge deal of clutch control on my car though. ofcourse you dont do that. neither in diesel nor in a petrol car.

[@alfsterj4203]

yeh

[@MajklCzech]

I mean why would I change gears so soon? Its underreving the car and can reduce livespan of some parts. I got diesel and I try to keep revs above 1800 so I can acccelarate fast and smooth if I need to. Cuz 1200 RPM is just slow.

[@unknownuser39999]

For better fuel efficiency. If yoy drive slowly on the city low revs are fine but if you are in a place which you need to accelerate more and faster then you keep the revs higher

[@MajklCzech]

@@unknownuser39999 I got 4.5L/100km what you mean its low iven if I am reving it. And maybe you drive fuel efficiency, but repairs will cost more :D

[@unknownuser39999]

@@MajklCzech i mean when your revs are lower the engine need less fuel. In the city you don't drive at 4k rpms all the time. If you rev it some times a bit more is doesn't affect fuel efficiency that much. The best thing to do is depends the road you drive (hills flat downhill). And yeah you are right the cars doesn't like to have low revs all the time. There a reason that cars have a amount of revs. Sometimes the cars a need a little drive it hard for 5-10 minutes so it will clean the engine

[@MajklCzech]

@@unknownuser39999 If someone need to save a fuel just do not buy 300HP car and drive it in city. Buy a car that suits your purpose.

[@OFCOURSE20]

Hilarious... Watch this with subtitles on... 😂😂😂

[@ElderlyAnteater]

As said before, making a video teaching people how to drive a manual car, and then telling them to sit at the bite point like this for so long for absolutely no good reason, is going to cost them money when their clutch goes in a year. Why not just dip the clutch again while you wait? literally 70 seconds in this video from you finding bite to taking the handbrake off

[@SimonBauer7]

he makes it slow to demonstrate but yes it is not good in real life.

[@ElderlyAnteater]

@@SimonBauer7 Issue is he doesn't explain this, so people learning from this video will copy that behaviour. Also, if you look in other videos of himself or his students driving, he actually does this

[@Xenon777_]

I saw someone the other day at a hill riding their clutch at the red lights. He was on the bite for about 30 seconds straight! I had the handbrake on and my car wasn't in gear. When the lights changed, I got went into 1st, got the revs to 2k, lifted the clutch, handbrake down and went. No clutch overheating and funnily enough I pulled away faster than the other person. I'm not sure why some instructors teach the method of holding the car on the bite for a while and with no "gas" (and rarely using the handbrake at hills). My driving instructor taught using the handbrake at almost every stop and it almost entirely prevents rolling back and stalling and you aren't trying to get the bite with one foot on the footbrake and the other trying to find the bite (with no gas).

[@ElderlyAnteater]

@@Xenon777_ I learnt the way you did too - my only issue is that using the handbrake even on flat ground or downhill just felt silly unless I was waiting for a while. I learnt in a strong diesel car and absolutely never got into the habit of using just the clutch, not even parking. Some instructors are just lazy I suppose

[@Xenon777_]

@@ElderlyAnteater Yeah, I don’t use the handbrake when the road is level unless I’m going to be stoped for ages or it’s a hill, etc. I use the handbrake most of the time. I learned to drive in a 1.4 petrol which would allow me to get the bite without “gas” but I still always added gas anyway and used the handbrake. I drive a 1.4 diesel now and I’m glad I was taught to use the correct method.
