I need an instructor like you Chris 💪🥳🥳🥳

[@smoothie9931]

Just started trying it in the real world today... these vids explain my mistakes so well, thank you! I never realised as a passenger just how sensitive the pedals are

[@saleemhussain1201]

Been a while till i took my last driving lesson i almost forget i need to watch videos more

Feels like a long time but hopefully driving lessons will resume on April 12th.

New, nervous learner here. I forgot everything in my first lesson today, this video went over it all again and jogged my memory. Excellent work.

Been on a break since december lockdown. Worried i'd have forgotten stuff from my 1st 4 lessons. Thanks for this!

[@worlddriving]

No problem. Have fun with your driving 🙂

[@IAmQuinton]

My instructor never taught me to set the gas... He said that wears the clutch... He said i must only use the clutch to move off unless we're at an incline and i struggled for a long time because we were using different cars as well... I found setting the gas very useful for finding the bite point..

[@joshbuckyy1054]

Super super helpful, tried driving my car yesterday after 2 years and kept stalling, didn’t know what I was doing wrong. Thank you!

[@worlddriving]

Pleased you found it helpful :)

[@thenman23]

it's not that hard people.. basically when it stalls that means you didn't give it enough gas and let off the clutch too fast..once the car shakes press the clutch back in and then try giving it gas while releasing clutch ever so slightly..never just take your foot off the clutch rapidly. keep that thing pressed until you get going.. be very gentle and remember press the gas. these videos will help

[@dragondude6984]

Thanks

[@Unknown-il3md]

On my 2nd lesson and I’m still kind of nervous I’m good with the gears / steering but I panic sometimes , I think it’s because my lessons are during rush hour 6pm. On my 5th lesson I’m switching to 9:30 am as a slot has opened my 3rd lesson is next week. I hate when people overtake me as I panic cause I am a learner

What a smooth voice, and awesome camera angles. Wonderful videos dude!

[@punk86]

Aren't you causing damage to the clutch keeping it at the bite point that long?

[@retetsemasitise3063]

Yes I am. I can cause ware on the clutch and thereby precipitating some expensive costs to replace it.

[@r.e.d.8024]

Hey i have a question, what if i press clutch before braking?

[@retetsemasitise3063]

If you do that while the car is in a very low speed that it may stop it wont be a problem as such. On the other hand, that would be detrimental if you are travelling quite fast as you could increase speed and it is going to be a struggle to stop or slow the car down.

[@MickeyCool30]

Great videos helps so much 👍. It's basically keep practicing until you get it all in your head, believe me you get used to it and it becomes 2nd nature, don't rush anything or feel pressured it will come naturally and it won't think about it

[@chickenrun2095]

YAAAYY! I've been waiting for you to upload! Thanks Chris! 👍☺️

Thanks for waiting. Wasn't sure how much demand there was for this kind of video during lockdown.

[@dannyh_fitness]

Not sure if it’s just my car but when I’m moving of it’s revving a good amount. It’s smooth but just not very quiet 🤷‍♂️😭😂 I’m not using that much gas either. How is this? Could it be something I’m doing with the clutch?

[@dannyh_fitness]

I apply some gas then bring the clutch up to the bite and it’s load

[@dannyh_fitness]

Could it be to much of the bite or maybe to little? And I need to lift it more 🤷‍♂️

[@dannyh_fitness]

I’m not sure. I know if you lift the clutch a little more you can pull away quicker with enough gas so I don’t think it’s that as I’m not moving away quick

I have been driving for 5 years now, and for some reason my clutch control is worse recently. This video is helpful thank you, to be reminded to check the rev counter to see I'm putting on enough gas 👍

[@worlddriving]

Pleased you found it helpful 🙂

[@JacobHennessy-zc1zl]

Yeah I've been driving manual for 12 years and over 300k miles. But on my evo I have a light flywheel... I was so used to cars with more torque down low and couldn't figure out why I couldn't start out easily anymore. I learned with no gas all clutch

[@Rhand007]

My teacher says I should first let the clutch come up to the biting point before pressing gas, whereas you state to first press gas (slightly) before releasing the clutch until the biting point. Is either method fine? Is one better than the other?

[@worlddriving]

Driving The Essential Skills book published by the DVSA is a book all learners and instructors should read and follow. It states to set the gas first then biting point. Less chance of stalling 🙂

[@SakuraWulf]

I thought I would be better at driving a manual than I actually was... tried test driving a Miata and stalled it a few times because I wasn't used to matching the clutch with the gas. The hardest part is stopping, going, and inclines... when you're cruising, switching gears is easy.

[@Abdulkadir-sb7ud]

this guys voice is better than therapy

[@lilakhalila6002]

My instructor tells me to press the break slightly and then the clutch and then break more. Then I find on the internet to break slightly, break more firmly and the press the clutch. I don't know 😔. For some reason i can set off easy and fine but stopping is hard for me.

I move off with just the clutch is this right? my instructor didn’t tell me to use gas

You can move off without gas but the car could stall, especially on a slight hill or if you want to move off a bit quicker.

[@KyeSutton-z7b]

@@worlddriving Thankfully it went well! I had your advice on repeat in my brain all the way to the neighbourhood I practiced in and my instructor was every bit as calming and informative as yourself. I managed to spend a good hour behind the wheel in the end and was able to move off, shift into second, navigate junctions and park up without being aided. And I didn't stall the car once, which is my biggest worry lol. Already can't wait for the next one - thank you! (I'm mostly leaving this here to look back on one day when I have my full license🤞)

Welcome back and thanks very much for your comment 👍

[@JayTraversJT]

It’s weird, I past during the last easing of lockdown. But due lockdown returning I haven’t driven much for months now. I’m still certain I know everything but it feels so strange.

[@kassimbabika]

Hopefully, you're at least still going out for a 20-30 minute drive every few days though - like any skill, you can easily lose the nuances and have to relearn them (although it will be quicker since you already knew them). I passed a year and a half ago and during these lockdowns, anytime I don't drive for like 2-3 weeks straight, which thankfully isn't a lot), there's always something that goes off a bit in that first drive after - like finding the biting point consistently or remembering to apply enough gas or even just that feel where you can somewhat judge your speed a bit better when you drive regularly so, you don't unwittingly go 30 in a 20 zone or something. I'm definitely trying to keep driving often and on different roads and routes too so, I don't get complacent.

How to find the biting point?

[@retetsemasitise3063]

With the clutch fully down make some little movements t9 clutch up till the car starts to vibrate. Then pause for a few seconds when you hear the vibrations of the clutch. The vibrations are one of the indications rhat yoh have found the biting point.

So when do you turn on the car? Do you turn it on after you press the clutch down or after you put the gear into 1st? And when do you turn the car off? Is it after you put the gear into neutral and before you release the pedals? Thanks

[@retetsemasitise3063]

Let me reply on his behalf. You turn it on after you have fully pressed the clutch. You turn it off after you have shifted into neutral and put the handbrake on.

[@dannyh_fitness]

If on a hill would you need more bite when compared to on a flat? I roll back just slightly when on a hill and I’m pretty sure it’s because I’m not giving it enough bite as when I roll back slightly I lift the clutch a tiny bit and it’s fine again

[@retetsemasitise3063]

Let me reply on his behalf. You need to raise the clutch at the biting point or slightly above to avoid any roll backs. He will rectify where I am wrong should he read you comment.

@@retetsemasitise3063 yes I am now giving it more bite and I’m not rolling back at all cheers!
