Dear Richard, I have just successfully passed my driving test (Moscow, Russia), and I am wholeheartedly thankful for your time and effort in making your videos which have been extremely useful during my learning process. Even though Russia and UK differ quite a bit with regards to traffic regulations, the amount of information I've gathered from your channel is much larger than what my driving school has managed to offer me. Best wishes, Ilya

This is great. Im from Ohio in the united states, i decided to buy a dream car of mine on an absolute whim with only two issues to it. Its 1000 miles away in Florida, and its a manual and ive never driven manual. Few days of learning so far, and im pretty confident in the parking lot weve been in and around, decided to take it to road and see how it feels, not busy road but a few cars still out and about at night. I stalled 5 times in an intersection just getting frustrated with myself, and switched with my sister whos helping me learn. I thought i knew what i was doing as the rest of the practice that day was great! But your video here has helped me learn, i was just taking it too fast off the clutch. I would hit the biting point, get moving forward just a hair, and completely drop the clutch instead of hold it and slowly release. Only now can i see that mistake and hopefully next time i wont make it and will be all good to go!

[@joeroganpodfantasy42]

4:00 Tip for people who haven;t used their legs much for anything else besides walking, don't just pause or freeze at the clutch bite point , push it back a little bit, cause the clutch pedal is quite hard it will fight back a little bit and you might lose control of the car and lose the bite point, dont just hold but put pressure on it so it can stay on the same position. When people say hold it means keep the pressure, because if you just hold the clutch is gonna slowly push against your leg.

[@ConquerDriving]

Good tip, I do this myself a bit.

[@maiden5427]

Thank you. I noticed I didn't stall much when I push it in anticipating a stall funny enough

[@farinaccisinkala8079]

You're a very good teacher , I have passed my driving test am Africa - Zambia and got myself a driving license thanks to your videos

[@maxp918]

This video is gold! It's straight to the (biting) point. I watched your videos before my exam a year ago and they were of much help. Now that we bought our first car my skills have vanished for 1 year - I stall at every juncture - it's a 1.4 Honda Jazz with little power. My girlfriend, on the other hand, regularly wheelspins at traffic lights when the green light comes on. We are taking a few hours with an instructor next week, and these videos greatly help us understand what we are doing wrong and why, and how to save on clutch replacement. :) On a personal note, having grown without a father to teach me about these things, you are even sort of a role model for me on how to be calm, relaxed and witty white driving.

[@ConquerDriving]

That's really nice to hear, I hope your lessons go well. The real key to driving is to learn to take your time and not be pressured by anyone.

[@hhl91]

Not only does he explain things very clearly, I enjoy when he describes how the mechanisms of the car (e.g. clutch and engine interaction) work. It helps understand why I’m doing what I’m doing, making it much more easy to grasp. Excellent work!

[@kirstywalker6839]

Passed my test a few weeks ago and your videos were really helpful and calming. Still watching your videos to constantly learn and not to pick up bad habits.

[@ConquerDriving]

Congratulations! I'm pleased you like the videos.

[@hamsterama]

Great video! If I release the clutch in my car before it starts moving forward a little bit, the car will violently buck (kangaroo). When I started out earlier this year teaching myself how to drive stick, that was a big mistake I kept making. I thought that if I didn't release the clutch right away, I would burn out the clutch. So, I was releasing the clutch as soon as I reached the bite point, which would cause a stall or a buck. I eventually figured out that I had to ride the clutch for a short distance. Wish you made this video six months ago LOL! Anyway, just wanted to thank you for continuing to make these videos. I've been unable to find a driving school in my city that will teach stick shift, so your videos are the next best thing.

[@jasv49]

I feel like my clutch hates me sometimes and switches up its bite point position just to fuck with me

[@ConquerDriving]

I'm sure that's not possible, the bite point will be in the same place, although the amount of gas you give determines how high you can lift it without stalling or kangerooing.

[@ГарреттРид]

THANK YOU!!! I swear. I spend an hour with an instructor and i find the bite point and take off smoothly every time and the instructor is like “why did you even come, you know how to do this” and as soon as i get into public roads the clutch just gives me the middle finger and switches it up 😂😂

[@Gourmondise]

I have a similar experience with this. I spent 8 hours learning the basics of the car in my friend's ride in a big open parking lot. I became confident to a point that I felt I could handle the same thing in light traffic. Now 3 weeks ago I started to practice with my instructor and at first, the car felt weird, but I was like - it is just a different car. Now my 4th session (8 hours) is coming up soon and I don't feel the same confidence in that car. In fact, the confidence I had kind of gone away feels like I'm back to square one. I do know that driving on roads puts you under more pressure, but I still feel a bit stupid that it seems all the effort that I put into the basics was almost useless.

[@maxono1465]

i had the same happen to me, for me it was because i changed my seats position so i was a bit further away.

[@rogerpalacios1238]

Just shared your video with my niece. She's learning to drive a manual. In my case, I don't accelerate until I find the bite point. Once I find the bite point then I accelerate depending on how fast or slow I want or need to move the car. My foot on the break moves quickly to the gas, or do a heel and toe. Outstanding job. Clear and simple explanation. Thanks.

[@Trades46]

I have been driving for 8 years but only learned stick a year ago and now planning to buy a first manual car sometime next year. Your instructional videos have been the most helpful.

[@Manicsean117]

I just bought a 2023 kia Forte gt. I've ridden motorcycles for over 6 years and understand the theory and concept of manual transmissions. However making that transition to a car is substantially different due to subtle things like the bite point. This video has helped me better understand using the clutch to my advantage without unnecessary wear.

[@deborahryder7521]

I love your videos, I’m learning to drive and I have so many issues with the clutch. I either come off too quickly or slowly. Great video, explained why I keep jerking or stalling in such a simple and easy to understand way.

Wow thank you so much! I just bought my first car and I've been having so much trouble setting off. I couldn't understand why, since I never had problems with this in my lessons. Now I realise, I learned to drive in a diesel which will move off without gas. I always reached the biting point before adding any gas. My car is petrol so I need to add gas before engaging the clutch. You've solved my problem! Thank you so much!

@@Johnykeys thanks for support👍 the other thing is I couldn't still figured out to lift off little fast using manual. Actually I was automatic car user long time but passed and received the licence using manual. But I didn't used a manual since that day. In auto car lifting off fast in red lights was not a problem if needed. I couldn't figure in manual because if we have to release clutch very slowly how can we lift off fast in emergency situations? By revving the engine then? I know its stupid question though 🙄

[@Johnykeys]

@poormanstrackframe see ,the start of everything seem difficult but with constant practice, all your questions would be answered. Keep doing it slow and with time, you will be going faster...

Could you do a video about the differences between a petrol and a diesel car and the clutch differences between them.

Yass I want that.

[@davidbest1]

The clutch is the same thing, some say petrol cars are easier to stall compared to diesels, but the whole concept of getting moving is the same. you can generally go slower in each gear in a petrol compared to a diesel.

[@ConquerDriving]

I will.

[@RusNad]

With diesel you will hardly need any gas because it has more torque at low revs. You can easily drive away with just the clutch and you feel the vibrations through your foot so you can't really miss the bite point. But tbh if you learn in a diesel you just need a day to get used to petrol and using a little more gas to pull away.

[@abdumamed6602]

@@RusNad You're right the difference is in diesel you use clutch and brake not clutch and gas which makes it harder for you to stick to your biting point especially when doing parking and reverse parking because you won't use gas

[@argeltal9090]

I failed my test because on a very sharp junction with almost no visibility due to fences, when steering right i hit the pavement with my wheel. Should i slow down to like 5 mph and switch to first gear on such junctions or should i continue with second gear ? Btw your videos are great and helped me immensely already!

[@dougscott7079]

You should use gear 2 for most junctions, but you can use gear 1 for very tight ones. I only do it very rarely, for example when turning into a narrow road with only room for 1 car at a time. I want to go in extra slow so I can see if someone is already on the road. I then have time to stop rather than turn in too fast and have to reverse back out when I realise I am blocked. Don't be afraid to use gear 1 and low speed in tight situations, but remember this shouldn't be something you are doing frequently.

[@wapangozukum9245]

I use 1st gear only to start moving. Otherwise 2nd gear for slow traffic or tight/sharp corners.

[@AlexGonoff]

On tight junctions with almost no visibility you should nearly stop, like creep at a very slow speed constantly scanning the junction and be ready to stop almost instantly. Your speed should be adjusted to the conditions, and in such conditions 1st gear will be needed, of course. You hitting the pavement means that you were going too fast for the turn. You were not in control of a car. And it seems obvious, but the slower you go, the easier it is to control your car and is generally safer.

[@ConquerDriving]

Definitely do blind junctions as less than 5mph and first gear. Creep out slowly until you can either see it's clear or you're committed.

[@argeltal9090]

Thanks for the replies everyone. Since discovering this channel, my driving skills are improving at a faster pace. Richard is a natural instructor.

[@jakeplonk888]

I believe the latest Driving book describes this process differently: 1) press clutch fully down 2) set to 1st gear 3) press the accelerator up to 15-20, then release the clutch until biting point is found 4) check all 3 mirrors + blind spot 5) set indicator 6) release hand brake 7) check left mirror and blind spot again 8) let car move forward, then very slowly release the clutch fully

I deffo agreed with him as soon as he mentioned that you should use a car that requires you to bite then gas rather than using a diesel car where lifting the clutch up is enough. I use a diesel car for my lesson and im very comfortable with it now (done about 14 hours). I drove my sister's petrol car a few werks ago and boy... i paid the price😂😂. It was very embarrasing what happened but I'm glad it happened because it led me to do researcb on why it happened and now i know (differences in engine, bite then gas etc). Apparently some instructors tell their students to rent a car for their test (the same car you use for lessons is usually the same one you use for your test... unless you're unlucky). Imagine if i never drove my sisters car and i rented a petrol car for my test. That would be an instant fail if im honest

[@Ericjayy]

Very helpful. Thank you so much.

[@grahamdaveydwg7674]

Do you always recommend finding the bite without the handbrake when starting to learn? When do you advise using the handbrake to find the bite?

[@ConquerDriving]

A handbrake start is one method of a hill start. I teach these and recommend them on hills. I generally get my pupils to practise multiple ways of doing hill starts. Handbrake starts significantly increase clutch wear so they're best left for when they're needed.

[@ConquerDriving]

Also, I find continuous handbrake starts doesn't help the pupil learn how the clutch works and how the hill affects the car. A little bit of rolling here and there does a lot for understanding when and why the car rolls and how to deal with it.
