the traffic light part is my weak point. I always feel pressured by the other car behind me which I think is the main reason why I feel anxious then I rush. Last time I panicked and I rolled back, luckily I didn't crash but damn.
been learning on a diesel so always used the clutch only method and was worried about when I get my own car, this is the only video that made sense, thanks!
I'm across the pond in South Africa but these tips were really helpful. I always let the pressure get to me at lights and stop signs. I really just needed to hear you tell me to slow down and chill. Thanks, man.

Thanks Francis, I needed to watch this again to refresh, sometimes I'm too slow to move off at traffic lights and get honked at, but with this technique I'm more prepared and ready to move off calmly
Thank you, I’ve just passed my test I learned ina. Diesel but now driving a petrol and keep stalling my car so embarrassing and frustrating this helps me a lot
Thank you!!!! My mum teaches me how to drive and Ive had about 5 lessons so far so its a bit stressful lol. Today i stalled so many times especially by traffic lights. I kept coming off the clutch way to quick or not putting enough gas when i came off because the car is petrol so i couldn’t use the clutch only. This is so useful it will definitely help me improve for tomorrow when i drive again. Thanks again👍👍👍
I had my sixth driving lesson last week, where I learned to stop at traffic lights. My car stalled the first time and I got beeped at so much by the cars behind me while I hurriedly tried to find the biting point. I also got screamed at by a bus driver for driving round him to get to the lights as he had only just indicated he would turn out of his lane and the car in front of me drove past him too. He overtook me when the light was red, whereas we were side-by-side before. I have my next lesson in an hour and am going to try and replay your instructions in my head. 😄
@@DrivingSchoolTV thank you, I was so scared to be honest. 😅 My lesson got cancelled at the last minute yesterday but that gives me more time to rewatch your videos and prepare for next week. Fingers crossed I don’t get any more angry drivers shouting the odds 😂

I just stalling 3 times at traffic light when it turns to green light during driving class yesterday morning and my teacher said “you spoil it” , damn 😩
This is my second driving class and i stall to many times on traffic light and i was thinking my teacher is gonna rage so hard everytime i stall i tell him sorry he says its ok its ok its yours second time driving.
Brilliant video Francis 👍 I passed just over 2 weeks ago and still getting used to my car although I learnt in a petrol and own a petrol car. My car is a little more powerful than the car my instructor has. So the first few days I was over revving even slightly my car roared 😂 don't do that no more but the clutch is alot higher and I can't plant my heels in like I used to as my pedals are higher 🙄 but slowly getting used to it. Might have another go at readjusting my seating position to see if that helps for my heel to be able to plant on the floor.
If not for ULEZ I wouldn’t have stalled thrice on my petrol car after passing test on a diesel. Big blow to my driving mojo but this is helpful. Thanks
Hi there! Could you do a video on multi storey car parks? I struggle with getting the biting point if I’m stuck on a ramp or just getting up the ramp in general 😂 thanks
Good idea, thanks! I will plan a good car park video. In the meantime if it's a big ramp and you're not sure your car will make it up it try first gear and use a little gas when you get to the bottom of the ramp 😊
I really suck at this 😢 I cannot my move off fast like other driver when at traffic lights, junctions or roundabout lanes like the slow learner I am EDIT: you’re a really nice instructor. Shame you probably don’t teach in Kent
Hi! Thanks for your message😊. That feeling is super normal, we all have felt it at some point! Just keep practicing! Try finding the biting point while the hand brake is on and get used to how it feels, once you get used to how the engine lurches, sounds and where your feet are when you have found the biting point it will become easier and easier! Remember driving is a life long thing so you dont need to rush to be perfect at it! You will get there!
question! okay so when i reach a light and i have stopped and haven’t put on my hand break and i need to set off again. i would normally just slowly release my foot off the clutch so i’m guessing i need to put my foot on the accelerator. However, i’m scared by not having the hand break on that if i put my foot on the accelerator with my foot on the clutch i’m scared i’ll jutt forward.
I drive a stage 3 clutch on my 350z. So I actually do have to rev a LOT to get it going because the bite point is so dang aggressive that if I miss it by a second it stalls. Stage 1 stock clutches you can usually catch it while the rpms drop, but not with my clutch. So I’m super anxious when driving :(
@@DrivingSchoolTV yes but it has a forged engine internally and some bigger compression pistons, so the clutch was upgraded. Plus I plan to ls2 (v8) swap it so I’m gonna keep the stage 3 clutch so it won’t burn out easy
Don't give up! Do the technique of finding the biting point a few times before you drive off. You'll get used to it. It's just muscle memory. The biting point in all cars is different due to age of the clutch and the car in general. Try and drive it round the block a few times until you get used to the bite, and don't forget the gas if the car is petrol!
If you feel the car about to jolt push the clutch back in and try again that way you wont stall and also give little revs and just slowly let the clutch out no need to rush its better you and your car being safe then sorry
I feel ya there, used to learn in a diesel, bought a 1.2 petrol aswell, and now I seem to struggle moving from traffic lights (more so when people are behind me) just feel ridiculous 😑 don't give up though, and just keep driving, thats what I do, all my dignity goes out the windows when I cant move at them, but perseverance is key :) good luck, and happy driving!
I hear conflicting info - some people say DON'T give the car gas while the clutch is pressed. They say to start rolling, you just need to let off the clutch slowly without pressing the throttle. However, my car will stall if I don't give it gas while shifting to first, so I use the technique you show here. Why do people say different things? And is it really not hurting the clutch for you to rev it to 1.5-2k while standing still?
Good question! It's the difference between petrol and diesel. In a diesel you can easily get the Car moving with just the clutch and no gas. In a petrol it will probably stall so you need to use 1.5-2k revs for a smooth pull away. It sounds like you have a petrol car. And no it's not hurting the clutch at all to build the revs before setting off!!
i stopped at a signal and holy shit was that stressfull.....stalled the car like 3 times before moving forward...my legs were shaking the whole time...hopefully i'll be prepared the next time
I've heard conflicting messages some say holding at biting point for too long while stopped at a light is slipping the clutch and could burn it out quicker, is this method good for regular driving or for the beginning only?
Holding at bite for ages will overheat your clutch and it smells horrible. When you're first starting out try finding the biting point a few times. It doesn't move. Then you've got it in your muscle memory. Once you get confident you'll be able to see the amber light, before green, and have it ready by the time the green light comes on! If you're in your instructors car don't worry about sitting at the bite on a red light, to be ready, if they tell you to. It's to take the pressure off the hill start.
@@DrivingSchoolTV thanks for clearing that up! =) Btw the technical term for the amber before green phase is referred to as the "starting amber" by traffic engineers just learnt that the other day. It's extremely useful to allow sufficient time to prepare, I find it very inconvenient when driving in countries that dont have it
I didn't understand what my instructor teach. So if I am at 4th gear, traffic light is amber going to red. I brake clutch in down 3rd and then let go off clutch slowly and clutch in and down to 2nd while holding my brake or 4th gear, brake, clutch in, let go of brake, let clutch out slowly then brake again and clutch in all the way and shift to 2nd or what?
@drivingschoolTV I would love to do that sir, but my instructor today make me shift down gear 1 by 1 before stopping. And I very stress cause I don’t know if I need to let go of brake and then clutch out or I can hold the brake then clutch out.
I’m a bit disappointed the new generation Honda Civics have completely moved away from the manual handbrake. I never got to experience driving manual with it 😭
Hey Mr V there are still lots of cars with a manual handbrake! If that's the car your instructor uses then once you pass you can look for it on the car you buy 😊
Hello, just came home from driving school and the car stalled like 2 or 3 times specially at traffic lights. Im so disappointed and discouraged. Its just that i get so nervous when there are cars behind me and should i take my time to let the car go slowly?
Yes definitely! Take your time. Don't let other drivers put you under pressure. You'd rather do it slowly and right than fast and stall! Hope your next lesson goes better 😊 it's very common to have an off day
man, i feel you . yesterday i stalled 8 times . A car honked at me and as a result i panicked and i stalled. Lol i tried so hard to hold back my tears haha! Hope you willl do well next time . (me 2 )
@@rgyrogkouliamtzi3204 Fuck the person behind you, ignore them, pretend they aren't there and don't rush. I was in that situation not long ago, but day by day you will get better and better. My clutch leg use to shake when people were behind me and it caused me to stall every time.
I never use the handbrake when I move off from traffic lights or a junction. Always the foot brake, that's what my instructor is learning me. But I can't set the gas doing it that way. Is it wrong?
If it's working then it's not wrong! There are a number of ways to do most things in driving! This is a super basic way that works all the time without fail, for people who are struggling with clutch control :)
I've not moved schools as such, I set up TDS three years ago and I've decided to take the time to focus on it as my main priority this year! So keep any eye out for loads of exciting content and new instructors and make sure you let us know if there's anything you want to see on here 😁😁
So it’s fine to stop at a traffic light and set your gas and have your clutch all the way down although you are going to be there for either some time or no time. And this won’t affect your fuel?
For sure that would affect your fuel. while you’re a beginner I’d suggest concentrating more on technique and confidence than a few drops of petrol. This channel is clearly not run by Greta thundberg 😂
Hi, I have a question. Can we do it this way where we bring the clutch up and give gas at the same time whilst reaching bite point? Rather than setting the gas or clutch before - why not do both at the same time?
If you're on a hill then the biting point is what stops you rolling backwards. To press on the accelerator you need to come off the brake, so it's pretty important to be at the biting point already or there's nothing else stopping you rolling backwards!
Because the handbrake only works on the rear wheels and you probably have a front wheel drive car. You should still be able to hear the engine noise dip and the car grumble
So we can keep our feet on the crust while slowing down to stop and when stop ? I got told that not to keep my feet on it while stopping at traffic light. Thanks in advance for the answer
If you keep your clutch down it’s fine! For long periods you might want to go into neutral and take your foot off the clutch but only to give your leg a rest. The only thing you shouldn’t do for long periods is keep your clutch at the biting point- this wears out the clutch a bit
It's a common problem for sure! It's so much easier to teach in a diesel but if your first car is petrol it's a nightmare! I hope this video helps him understand the difference!
@@rw6391 Have him practice finding the bite point over and over in an empty parking lot without using the gas at the same time, once he can successfully consistently get the car started in first with no gas, then have him start adding gas while doing it. I bought a manual car in the end of August, with this method I was driving everywhere and stalling once a day if that. The major issue sometimes is anxiety mixed with trying to do multiple things at the same time that you aren't use to. Learn clutch muscle memory first, then accelerator control for the adequate amount of RPMs required. It may be frustrating for your son now, but he will be laughing shortly saying it's easy.
Holding the clutch at the bite for extended periods will wear it out a bit faster. If you're in your instructors car or an old car your mum and dad have got you to practice in then i wouldnt worry about it. In 3/4 lessons you'll have got the hang of the biting point and will be able to set off smoothly without holding for too long. It's all about bringing it back to basics and perfecting the technique in slow time before you try and drive like lewis hamilton.
Stalling is the most common mistake on your driving test and When you’re nervous. It’s important to come away from thinking that stalling is embarrassing because it’s an inevitable part of learning. I know you haven’t started lessons yet so this thinking will be unhelpful to you 😊
Yeah I always heard that keeping hold of the clutch at the biting point over and over again in that manner will lead to wearing the clutch out sooner rather than later.
Once you get good at it you can minimise the time you're at the biting point. A couple of seconds won't make the clutch hot and burn it out. There's really no other way to avoid rolling back on a hill. Even when you're setting off on a flat road you're at the biting point with the clutch plates rubbing for at least half a second if you're quick!
If stalling is dangerous i stalled around more than 50 in 5 yrs .i would have died . Why uk people scare us stalling. If are driving with gear will stall 1000 years experience
You should be a Police instructor, and a part time clairvoyant. You clearly know more than them, and you knew instinctively why they positioned behind you as they did. Let's hope that if and when you require their assistance they drive to the letter of the law, even if that means they're late or don't even get there. Is it possible there was something happening on the pavement? In a shop? They'd seen a suspect and edged forward to get a better view? etc etc etc. Perhaps not judging them, and understanding that they have a job to do might be a start. As for the mates, Uber drivers and the rest that have licences that you think shouldn't be on the road, bear in mind who sanctioned that.....The DVSA examiner.
I can always get out of my driveway easily without stalling or having a wheelspin. But when i’m approaching a red light my legs get all shaky when cars are tailgating me. 🤣

For sure that would affect your fuel. while you’re a beginner I’d suggest concentrating more on technique and confidence than a few drops of petrol. This channel is clearly not run by Greta thundberg 😂
@@DrivingSchoolTV ohh okay thanks :)
Hi, I have a question. Can we do it this way where we bring the clutch up and give gas at the same time whilst reaching bite point? Rather than setting the gas or clutch before - why not do both at the same time?
Yeah there's lots of different ways of doing it and if you have a different way that's safe and works then it might be a good idea to stick to it 🙂
great period of instruction...now can u teach how to do donuts
Do I need to get to the biting point before pressing on accelerator?
If you're on a hill then the biting point is what stops you rolling backwards. To press on the accelerator you need to come off the brake, so it's pretty important to be at the biting point already or there's nothing else stopping you rolling backwards!
problem is my gas pedal is so sensitive if i touch it a little bit goes to like 2.5k rpm
When i have the handbrake on for some reason I can’t feel my cars biting point with the clutch anymore
Because the handbrake only works on the rear wheels and you probably have a front wheel drive car. You should still be able to hear the engine noise dip and the car grumble
So we can keep our feet on the crust while slowing down to stop and when stop ? I got told that not to keep my feet on it while stopping at traffic light.
Thanks in advance for the answer
If you keep your clutch down it’s fine! For long periods you might want to go into neutral and take your foot off the clutch but only to give your leg a rest. The only thing you shouldn’t do for long periods is keep your clutch at the biting point- this wears out the clutch a bit
@@DrivingSchoolTV thank you.
How to use clutch control without using hand break at lights
Im a new driver and would like to know how to enter a corner smoothly and safety
Thats in a manual car
Thanks for your suggestion. Follow on insta @tds.tv and dm us so we can find out more and we will defo put it on our list!
Wouldn't this ruin the clutch, just by holding it at the light
Would this technique work in a diesel truck?
Hey! Yeah absolutely should do! Report back how you get on 👍
My son learnt in a diesel engine now he's just got a petrol and can't get to grips with it, he keeps stalling.
It's a common problem for sure! It's so much easier to teach in a diesel but if your first car is petrol it's a nightmare! I hope this video helps him understand the difference!
@@DrivingSchoolTV thanks for replying
@@rw6391 Have him practice finding the bite point over and over in an empty parking lot without using the gas at the same time, once he can successfully consistently get the car started in first with no gas, then have him start adding gas while doing it. I bought a manual car in the end of August, with this method I was driving everywhere and stalling once a day if that. The major issue sometimes is anxiety mixed with trying to do multiple things at the same time that you aren't use to. Learn clutch muscle memory first, then accelerator control for the adequate amount of RPMs required. It may be frustrating for your son now, but he will be laughing shortly saying it's easy.
can u bring clutch upto biting point when hand brake on and in first gear?
Yep it's a very effective technique for hill starts. Don't bring the clutch passed bite though or it will stall
Didn’t think you could hold the clutch on the bite point for this long?
Holding the clutch at the bite for extended periods will wear it out a bit faster. If you're in your instructors car or an old car your mum and dad have got you to practice in then i wouldnt worry about it. In 3/4 lessons you'll have got the hang of the biting point and will be able to set off smoothly without holding for too long. It's all about bringing it back to basics and perfecting the technique in slow time before you try and drive like lewis hamilton.
I was told that holding the gas and clutch with handbrake burns the clutch plates guess it was wrong
A diesel car is very helpful to learn the bite point of the clutch.
A petrol car is bitchy because it will stall out almost immediately
Strange seeing drive past my house 😂
You’re in Clapham? I do loads of lessons around there look out for me and give us a wave 😁
💚🚗
This guys voice sounds like he is terrified , it make me more nervous than ever.
It’s quite embarrassing to stall.
Stalling is the most common mistake on your driving test and When you’re nervous. It’s important to come away from thinking that stalling is embarrassing because it’s an inevitable part of learning. I know you haven’t started lessons yet so this thinking will be unhelpful to you 😊
Don't have handbrake in my car🚘
Woah what kinda car do you have?!?!
3-4K RPM and skrrt skrrt for an older honda
😂 🙌 civic?
Wouldn’t this fuck up the clutch eventually?
Which bit? Holding at the biting point on a hill?
Yeah I always heard that keeping hold of the clutch at the biting point over and over again in that manner will lead to wearing the clutch out sooner rather than later.
Once you get good at it you can minimise the time you're at the biting point. A couple of seconds won't make the clutch hot and burn it out. There's really no other way to avoid rolling back on a hill. Even when you're setting off on a flat road you're at the biting point with the clutch plates rubbing for at least half a second if you're quick!
do you really have to put your hand brake on? that’s crazy annoying..
You don't HAVE to but it's helpful. If you're struggling with stalling on a hill it's the easiest way.
Handbrake off please
If stalling is dangerous i stalled around more than 50 in 5 yrs .i would have died . Why uk people scare us stalling. If are driving with gear will stall 1000 years experience

First learn where is the release point,
You should be a Police instructor, and a part time clairvoyant. You clearly know more than them, and you knew instinctively why they positioned behind you as they did. Let's hope that if and when you require their assistance they drive to the letter of the law, even if that means they're late or don't even get there.
Is it possible there was something happening on the pavement? In a shop? They'd seen a suspect and edged forward to get a better view? etc etc etc. Perhaps not judging them, and understanding that they have a job to do might be a start. As for the mates, Uber drivers and the rest that have licences that you think shouldn't be on the road, bear in mind who sanctioned that.....The DVSA examiner.
talk slowly mate
Cheers I'll try that
You are too fast mr
