"You won't get better if you try to keep up with the traffic in front" is probably the best advice I got from this video. Heck, it's not even for driving only, I'm pretty sure that's advice that applies to anything in life. But you made me realize how many mistakes I've been making because I panic when I see the cars in front of me act much more proficient than me... but of course that will happen, I'm still learning and they are not. It's so obvious, but it's so easy to fall for that trap. Thank you.

[@ConquerDriving]

Many people do fall into the trap. Is the same for most things in life, example if you try to learn tennis by serving as fast as a professional you won't make a successful serve and be able to continue a rally to get practice hitting the ball. I was concerned when I saw a tennis teacher teaching a young boy how to play on Saturday, the teacher kept firing balls at him quickly and the poor kid had no chance to return any of them, in fact I saw him have to duck for 1 to avoid being hit in the head. The kid would have learnt more if the teacher would have sent him balls at a speed that he could successfully return them at. That way the boy would have had lots of practice making racquet to ball contact building up his skill of how to hit the ball.

[@checkyourfax]

For me, it actually helped me learn. I was trying to figure out how people were so fast. So I watched these videos, and I've almost fully mastered rev matching upshift and downshift. Also the fastest take off is getting easier for me: gas down to 1.5k rev and then bite point, more gas, clutch further up, more gas until you can let go and floor it for a second. It's not that hard really once you got the hang of it. I drive both a diesel and a petrol: Yes diesel is easier, but a modern petrol with a turbo is almost as good at low revs as a diesel, so the difference is almost negligible

[@garyscheffen3047]

Keeping the toe pointed is important. On a vehicle with a heavy spring or a tough friction point I drag my heel against the carpet as I slide my foot back, while keeping my tow pointed.. It adds enough friction to give better control. I don't do this all the time it will wear out the carpet lol .but it helps in certain situations especially when driving something new to me.

[@christofferwaltersdorff4303]

I was never told to keep my heel up, didn't understand other people didn't struggle in traffic as I did. Finally found out and had to teach myself to use the clutch all over again. Thank you for sharing, really important stuff

How has your driving been since getting your car?

[@idriece1926]

I've been driving a manual for almost a week now and wouldn't have been able to do it without your videos. I've noticed after a few days of driving when there's no car behind me on a hill I do the handbrake starts perfectly smoothly. The moment there's a car behind me I end up panicking with the acceleration out of fear of rolling back and I either release the hand brake late or peel off too quick and get a jerky start or the car skids off. The advice of taking everything in your own time and not worrying about trying to keep up with traffic is great

[@misha_mikul5001]

I got my license two years back and I'm still anxious to drive in traffic. Ugh driving on uphill is a nightmare. last week my car stalled twice on uphill and engine stopped and rolled back but somehow I managed to move 😭 I almost cried lol, luckily there was no car behind. Your tutorial always helps me and this one is much needed. Thank you 🤧♥️ hopefully I'll overcome the anxiety and drive well. I don't wanna depend on my brother and dad for transportation 😣

[@ConquerDriving]

It's nice to hear the videos help you. I'm sure you can drive. If you can drive without traffic you can driver in traffic. Try to ignore the pressure and accept being a bit slower than others if you think it will help you.

[@misha_mikul5001]

@@ConquerDriving Sure I will. Thank you 😊♥️

[@MickeyCool30]

I have been driving and learning in traffic only stalled occasionly. I was a wreck when I first stalled but now I almost stay calm. Its literally experience. Thats the important thing when stalling to put handbrake on select neutral, turn back on select 1st get bite dont worry about traffic around you or other drivers concentrate on being safe, so what if the car in front speeds off? These videos have helped me massively like other videos. We have lots of hills around us with tight bends so I have no choice to creep forward, go slow, stop etc. You get used to it. It does help as when you come across them elsewhere you are more used to it. I think its important to give more revs than flat so stalling is less likely and not to get close to car in front. I found its hard to juggle feet if not using handbrake in traffic uphill. I have learnt to slow gradually and look further in front so you sort of roll forward barely using revs and many traffic situations sort themselves and you keep moving but obviously you sometimes have to stop. Its not a bad thing to go slower as the traffic may move and sort itself out without having to stop 👍 i stalled at roundabouts but obviously I wasnt giving it enough revs, but I was learning to look at traffic on roundabout (only a local small one) and was concentrating on other aspects, its hard to get everything into your head at once, it takes time, but it all comes together eventually

[@samanthacirino4529]

These videos have been absolutely incredible!! I’ve been driving for 12+ years but always owned automatic cars, just bought my first manual car and it’s definitely been like learning for the first time all over again! You explain things so thoroughly and calmly and touch on so many points that many instructors would likely not even consider to be important in a driving lesson. Between these videos and practice I’ll be back on the road in no time!

[@ConquerDriving]

That's great to hear, thank you for watching!

[@MaddieCollins13]

I feel this! I’ve been driving for almost 8 years now and just got my first manual. My dad’s been trying to teach me how to drive it, feels like being a teenager all over again. But there’s so much nuance to a stick shift, and all those little details don’t come across when my dad says “Engage the clutch and put it in gear” These in depth videos are a huge help!

[@ConquerDriving]

[@jasminewood8164]

Recently brought myself a car and found myself struggling with remembering certain things to help me drive better and your videos have been so helpful. Guess the point is to just stop caring about what other drivers think if you are slower or stall, just take your time. Also the heel up has helped me so much, I never realised I drove with my heel down until now

[@HowdyYT]

Had a stressful time coming home today. First experience in traffic and going uphill at the same time. Watched your video on the basics yesterday, and I made it through just fine (thanks to the bite zone explanation in that video). Came here to make sure I used the correct techniques. I probably should have been in first gear while going, but second was okay. Probably put some more stress on my clutch then first would have. Anyway, thank you! You are the best teacher I have found on KZbin! The way you explain why and how you do things is so easy to understand, which makes applying these skills so much easier. Thank you so much!

[@stuart_sibanda]

As a new driver, your videos are a gem. Ohh that uphill is a nightmare. Stalled and rolled back lastweek.. Still gathering courage to drive again 😂

Really try clutch up first. Listen for the bite point , then gas. Once you're at the bite point the car won't roll. And you still have a foot on your brake

I want to commend you for producing such an accessible video. This is loaded with all the tips and know-how that I wanted when I was a beginner. For example, the tip about letting the car coast if below 1st gear. Invariably we all figure it out but beginners don’t know if such a technique is appropriate. Well done!

[@LucyGower94]

I love that I have been driving for 2 years, but still watch these videos! I watched them all whilst I was learning and it helped me so much! I’ve recently switched from a 1.4 diesel to a 1.8 petrol, and the word “struggle” would be an understatement! I’ve been on the verge of tears because I can’t seem to get used to the car, but I’ve spent the past couple of days watching these videos and it’s given me much more confidence, and I can already see an improvement with my driving!

[@diandra4311]

Whenever I try to be as fast as the one in the front, I end up over-revving out of panic As soon as I relax, and do it in my rhythm (of course, not extremely slow so I don’t block the traffic) everything works out just fine This is especially about hill starting but also other situations in traffic

[@ConquerDriving]

Go as slow as you need to and let the speed come with experience and confidence. Normally the quickest way to truly learn and gain confidence.

Had a guy drive on the oncoming traffic cause he got frustrated that I stalled 3 times on a small hill, honestly it was then that i realized I really dont care and hes right when you get into the cycle of stalling you gotta just take a sec, calm down, and go slow.

I do find driving very relaxing, I like being in my own box where I can control the temperature and what I'm listening to. It's especially nice when the weather outside is really bad, cosy. Try to find something you enjoy about driving and focus on that. It's imperative you don't let others push you, it's all part of the challenge. Leave plenty of time for your journey so you are not rushing.

[@cheebwhackah7970]

Been learning on and off since I was 17 and now I'm 34... it's about time I passed and stopped putting it off since I failed my first test a few years back. I failed my test by rolling back in traffic and the tester had to break for me...otherwise I'd have passed :'( But now *I* actually want to learn, not just because others say so... I'm trying my hardest to brush up and remember the basics... driving in traffic and stopping at junctions and roundabouts is hard without having to concentrate on 50 other things at the same time. I think the best thing you've mentioned so far is to take your time. Rushing just makes you more anxious and I hope I can learn from my past mistakes :D Thanks for the videos. I'm sure I'll be watching many more in the coming weeks!!!!

[@ConquerDriving]

The key is to focus on one thing at a time. Generally that's where you can go and where you can wait. If you're still learning car control then it's best to be away from traffic where you can focus on the car.

Thank you for helping me learn driving thousands of miles away from you in India 😊....Yes it's true that watching videos will not make me a better driver, but loads of practice will....but at the same time watching such videos have been immensely helpful when I sit on the driver seat and apply the techniques I learnt from the videos. I only wish my trainer had 10% of your eagerness to teach, patience with the learners and general enthusiasm about sharing knowledge. In my case(and in most the cases), trainer is just there to sit besides you... explain the basic controls and you are literally expected to learn driving on your own! Trainer is there to apply brakes in case needed...and to get irritated with learner's mistakes! If you want to know about how to judge the left of your car...why exactly you push certain combination of pedals in certain conditions...how to safely manouver in traffic...the standard response is: You will learn with practice. Of course I will learn with practice! But I am a firm believer of getting your basics right... learning the safe and efficient techniques.. practicing those and making a habit, rather than figuring out the working of machine myself with 'practice'. In this regard, your videos have been immensely helpful! You are helping people become better drivers and the roads a safer place...THANK YOU!

I think you are the only instructor who mentioned coasting both in gear and neutral in this kind of video. What a complete video.

[@billiespace761]

Thanks for the detail explanations in your videos . Your definitely in the top 3 best driving channels on KZbin :)) hope your KZbin channel keeps growing ✊✊ :)

[@steffyromana1792]

[@Ecbb610]

[@maverickiragulfan4434]

[@vikrantkulkarni1241]

Well explained and demonstrated. Your way of explanation is cool.

[@ConquerDriving]

Thank you.

[@edgarochoa6805]

This guy such a great teacher lol 😂 helped me out so much bro!!!

[@wetfeathers9971]

Hey, I wanted to stay I really appreciate these videos, it really gives me closure that the things I'm doing learning manual on my Miata is what I'm supposed to be doing, now I know the handbrake starts won't harm the car, had a situation on a really steep hill in a community that made me find out that my ebrake cable was too loose 😂 going to tighten that up and have a go at it again on public roads. Thank you again!

[@TheFullswordslord]

I already have my license, admittedly for a short time, but honestly this combination is indeed my biggest fear. Thanks for the vid Rich! Very helpful!

[@ConquerDriving]

Thank you, I hope it goes smoothly next time you're in traffic.

[@davidbrown5525]

You are the best most informative driver I've ever seen!

[@modelo4504]

Didn’t know handbreak start was a thing I don’t have an instructor just bought a car and learning to get home🤣🤣

[@irrelevance3859]

I’ve passed my test and these videos are still a life saver

[@no_one_160]

Excellent video. Great learning experience. All those, supposedly wrong, things I used to survive traffic in Indian metropolis with bad roads and hills - they appear in your video, and then some more new things. Its a real pleasure to watch it.

[@mikec8826]

Thanks for teaching your driving skills to us Sir, just passed my practical driving test and can now drive my car anywhere here in the Philippines, 👍🏻

[@EGWL93]

14:56 Exactly one of the passing criteria for Singapore driving test, and always makes me nervous for missing out the bite point, so it is rarely being taught on road by my instructor. Instead he taught the clutch break technique, which is on 15:27, which I find it more convenient but can be quite tiring if drive long.

[@ConquerDriving]

15:27 will not work in all cars though.

[@EGWL93]

@@ConquerDriving that's something new I've heard. Perhaps I've to endeavour to learn the proper technique .

[@melissabarrett9750]

This is probably the most beneficial driving video I've watched since I began learning to drive. Thank you!

[@abdullahul-haq6944]

The craziest thing is I saw another video the other day where the guy was advocating heel down, and later in the video he was apologising about the fact that he wiggles his foot without realising it 😂😂😂. Don’t trust anyone else guys 😂👌🏽

[@keytrapkama.collection4522]

So its recommended that we should put our kneel up for clutch what of brake and accelerator should the kneel be up or down

[@goldmadellionofficial4225]

I literally just watched that video like 10 minutes ago😭😂😂💔

[@naabligay9542]

Uphill and clutch control is a nightmare for every driver sometimes, sometimes you can get it right, sometimes not. But you can learn from your mistakes and next time you'll get it right, the best thing is you don't go above your biting point and without a little bit of gas you'll definitely stall., thanks for this video

[@Tirrith]

Wish I would've known all this when I was a learner driver! I stalled 5 times on a steep hill because I panicked after the first stall, and my teacher didn't help me. Finally managed to drive off but it was a struggle 😅

[@ConquerDriving]

I hope this video and a bit of practise sorts things out for you.

[@MelonyMitchell]

Am watching your videos to get a better way to handle a manual.... am also doing my driving lessons wish I was learning with you Love your training.... have never driven a manual before

[@exactlywhyl5496]

The electronic brake is amazing, I had it in my instructor's car this year and suddenly I had no issues on hills. But the car I drive now has a handbrake so I have to learn this again. I usually don't have issues starting with the foot brake on smaller hills though. I guess I just need to practice :) thanks for the tips!

[@imamish]

Learned driving on eletronic handbrake too and now have to switch to normal handbrake lol gonna be fun

[@Lurcii]

With bigger hills get the clutch just bellow the bite point a couple of seconds before you are going to move off. Then fairly quickly switch from the foot brake to the gas and push it down a solid amount, whilst you’re pressing the gas, slowly bring the clutch up the the bite point and hold it there. You will move off slowly and pretty fast. Then when you have built up decent speed slowly take off the clutch. Hope this helps 😅

[@mitchellkennedy7733]

These videos are really excellent, logical, practical and sensible.

As always Thanks!

You're welcome

Love you man! I have not driven for 13 years and now practice again. Thanks for the videos. Now I am a huge fan of driving manual because of you man! You make it fun for me! I will practice everyday with the tips you shared in KZbin!
