Having access to a car and family member who takes you out to practise is a privilege I wish I had. (Both my parents are disabled) I’m especially happy for Adrian and other kids with driving instructor parents! Really good job, and good luck!
@@jasonfeltus3918 hi, I don’t need lessons but thanks for the offer. I was just pointing out how good it is that Francis can pass his skills on to his son 😊
My dad let me drive on non public road when I was about 14, and since this time I have been waiting for my 18th birthday not for alcohol, not for cigarrettes, only for my driving license. This made my lifestyle quite healthy. I turn 18 in a month and I'm already in the half of the course. Wishing patience for your son before turning whatever legal age you have there in UK!
@@Matus_x Congrats man! I had an opportunity to make a driving license at 16 years old, but that is useless because you can only drive micro car, and still have to make category B license later on, so I decided to wait
oh man, I had the same situation, I was going to get a license at 18 however I was really scared of driving and ended up chickening out, now i'm 25 and finally have my driving test tomorrow, and i'm more confident than ever.
Having a parent that actually has the patience to teach you correctly, instead of losing their mind next to you is such a privilege. Also your son has literally your exact facial features. It's quite adorable.
I fully agree, I'm practising with my dad, and he always gives me shit about something minor, such as failing a uphill start. Great work for Adrian he smashed it!
true, I am not at the age to drive yet, but I can agree that most parents would scream at their child when learning something, for example when I learnt to ride a bike
Oh. My. Goodness. Why did I tear up so much with that intro!! I loved this video!! He did so well too!! He’s gonna be a fab driver! Is he wanting to follow your footsteps into teaching?
Aww thank you Stacy! He’s got a lot of things he wants to do when he’s older but teaching driving is not up there on the list with F1 mechanic, boxer and marine biologist 😂🤷♂️
We’ve done a little bit of driving around car parks in first gear. But he is really interested and asks loads of questions and we talk about driving loads 😊
I absolutely love watching videos where parents teach their kids new skills. My parents are not around anymore, so I appreciate this even more. Such a lovely kid,and you looked so proud,Francis. Definitely want to see more lessons with him,and maybe a karting video as well. Best of luck to him with anything he chooses to do.
Wow he seems so calm and did so well! I’m 17 and in my driving lessons I’m always a bit nervous about crashing or accidentally damaging the instructors car, or messing up the gears and clutch. It’s such a lot to think about, especially all at the same time!
It is a lot to think about but you should be reassured that your instructor has pedals and extra mirrors and is trained to take over, either verbally or physically, when you make mistakes, to keep you out of trouble 😊
When I first drove with my dad, we just took out the junkiest truck he had with a automatic transmission and he told me to try it out in a parking lot. Then, once I was comfortable with the parking lot, we went on the road. The only instruction he gave me was yelling BRAKE! whenever I was being dumb.
me and my daddy issues 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲 watching this!!!!!!!! wish i had a dad like this I still see this dude as childish in a good way someone whose like really fun to hang out with and memorable experiences
This is so sweet my instructor for my first lesson was getting so mad at me and being rude. Having someone so considerate and patient like this helps so much
Absolutely brilliant from your young man! I'd feel safer with him on the roads than most adults I see aha! 2 more years mate you'll be the best friend in the group!
Love it Francis ! The chemistry with you and your son is infectious; he's so keen to learn! Keep up the good work and looking to seeing more of your video clips on Adrian's progress. 😊
I just passed my test but I mostly used the Conquer Driving and World Driving channels. Just discovered this page and it's been a big help in explaining some of the finer details of driving! Thanks man!
props to him, i'm 18 and haven't been able to get any training or nothing, and really wanna start driving tbh i didn't even know these learner's centres existed, will definitely have to go to one
This is great, a parent showing their kid how to drive and the parent having some patience when my grandpa was still alive. He'd take me driving, the first thing he had me ever drive was a 1963 chevy c10. Beautiful but i was probably only 12 ish. And this was the first car id ever even drove (in around 2008) But i remember going to shift. And that truck was so old had so much play in it lol. He'd yell and yell at me, it had the shifter on the column 3 on the tree. I'd be driving and it just shut off, he'd throw me out of the seat and put me on the other side of the bench seat. Anyway sorry for rambling, but he didnt have patience, and you have way more than he did! I hope this is how parents go to show there kid how to drive from now!
Thanks for this video actually! I'm 14 years old and my dad is slowly giving me his car each week and each day, I was bad at turning in the corners, now I know because of this video!

I used to drive at this age. Adults would let me drive their cars in car parks or on beaches, particularly my uncle. I passed my car test first time with no minors in 2008. And this year i passed my class 1 hgv from a car license. I've been driving for a career pretty much since i passed my car test 😊keep it up young guy!
I taught my son to **OPERARATE** a car when he was 6 years old. He use to drive around the farm in a little Suzuki pick-up truck on his own with out me in the truck. He took to it like a duck to water. When we lived in Ireland I let him drive me from Ballyheigue to Ballyduff on the road and he was so chuffed at that age to be given the chance to do that. It is a memory we will always share as father and son. I know I should never have done it but hey there are not many people that have that experience that with their son at the age of 6.
Wow, what an amazing patient dad and teacher. You're amazing! I'm very surprised and happy. Hey, just wanted to say I'm a 16 year old kid who's dad doesn't let him drive. Seeing you! A dad! letting their 15 year old kid drive is very very wholesome and I love seeing it! I really wished for my dad to let me learn to drive. He only let me drive once and I was really good and he was really patient with me. It's just for some reason he stopped right after my first lesson. Which is totally fine with me. I love my dad! I just wished that he would've let me driven more.
Love this. This is in Romford from what i remember. This is where i learned to drive in the beginning with my Dad. This is the best place you can learn with some friends or family before you get lessons on a real road. You pay a 1 off fee like £10 or £15 pound for as many hours as you like from 8am to 8pm. Great vid and big up yourself and your son👏🏻👏🏻👊🏽👏🏼
Best video of the weekend! Can't believe how much he looked like his dad when he was little and doing magic tricks. Keep at it, buddy - you're gonna be a natural! 👍
Hornchurch Cardrome? My grandad took me here to learn to drive before he passed away, with the car i currently own, that he left me. Made some great memories.
You are a beautiful teaching soul! Your pure calmness and heart showing no negative criticism, with complete passionate and loving energy! This is how all driving instructors should be. Many of us need to feel their love and desire for teaching! Thank you💚
This area is a really good place to practice driving, I have my test coming up so I did some practicing here with my dad last month and ended up driving around for 2 hours practicing keeping speed, manoeuvres and hill starts which I find easier now
My mum and dad used to take me there to practice driving, the practice meant that when I actually started learning I got the hang of it quite quickly. The Cardrome is great, just a shame they don’t fix the potholes… I now have my actual driving test soon, about a weeks time. 😬
Yesterday i was learning with my dad I was driving kia sonet htk And the experience was just priceless Learning with dad Is just ❤❤❤ Parents are good teacher of their kids
oh my gosh where is this place, it looks like a lot of people also learning to drive at the same time, they need places like this in America where other teens can drive around each other and adapt to each other
Your son has the talent in driving, he managed steering very well. I am really sure he will 1 take pass when he takes the first driving practical test.
Aww cute, he looks exactly like you. And drives like you too... j/k 😄 This place looks awesome, young driver training centre presumably. Wish they existed when I was that age.
These driving places are a good idea, I think it's good to learn when you're younger as your brain is better at learning then. A 5 year old can learn to speak chinese, but a 40 year old English person would really struggle. Having said that, I just learnt to drive in my 40's, so its still possible - but I would likely have learnt faster if I was 17.
I'm hoping one day my daughter will think I'm a good teacher and ask me to teach her to drive. Your videos are definitely helping me how to drive. I started watching as I got my provisional. My instructor didn't believe that I've never driven a car before on my first lesson. According to him he felt I had been driving for years. Compliment or insult who knows. I'm still a little nervous for my lessons and eventually test. Any tips for calming my nerves for meeting roads and major junctions?
That's definitely a compliment. He thought you were a natural! Best tip for driving in any situation is planning ahead! If you're planning in advance things won't jump out at you and make you so nervous. You could also try commentary driving to make planning easier. I did a video here 😊 ruclips.net/video/5PW7wGemhYg/видео.html
This is so cute! I think it would be so fun if you guys documented his whole learner journey when he's old enough to get his provisional. Also I'm pretty sure that's the cardrome near me lol. They absolutely suck. The roads are so bad and the instructors aren't great either and £20 in pound coins to get in 😐
Haha yes! Such a cool thing to have somewhere for kids to be able to drive that's like actual roads. But for somewhere they use to teach learners I was surprised how bad the road markings are. We'll definitely be back though!
Driving is really easy for some people. They may even be driving better than their instructor in 2 months time. But its important to get them to understand what an accident is because they really have no clue. A kid who hasn't experienced real desperation or a real wake up call doesn't understand something of that scale and intensity. You can't talk your way out of it. There's nothing that can be said. No comfort to be found once you make that one mistake. Being a good driver isn't about being really good at not making mistakes. Its about never making mistakes. You either drive at a 100% safe level or you don't drive safe. It's that simple. It's not a school test. 80% doesn't get you an A*. If you get a 99% grade here, you're going to end up in an accident within 50 days that was your fault and you will have to suffer the consequences. And I really mean suffer. I luckily haven't been in a car accident but I've seen them. Getting the student to push the car for 100m with the engine in neutral is a good start before learning to drive. To really get them to understand what they're moving at 10mph let alone 70. And when another car comes at you, whatever speed you're at, double it. I love racing and found driving to be really natural. But I always drove really strictly and took it really seriously even though it was super easy for me. Because I knew this wasn't a game. In games, you're racing and trying to brake as late as possible and get the best line for the corners. To this day I still do that having grown up loving racing games specially the more simulator ones. That's something I love doing and have to actively control. The entire road doesn't belong to me and the priority isn't fun. it's the safety and wellbeing of everyone involved. For people who like racing games, one thing you can do is go into the settings and disable stability control and traction control or decrease it and increase the difficulty by choosing the more simulator like option for steering and conditions rather than normal. The normal is artificial and regular cars don't have that level of downforce, traction, brakes, suspension... With these settings, your children will be able to count the number of times they would be dead per 5 minutes of them driving/racing. In the real world, you get sensor lights in your dashboard by just going over a pothole or having an older battery. In the real world, driving is boring and you zone out into your thoughts. Everyone does. Humans can't sustain attention for very long at all. And then bam. Should have developed better habits. You'll fatigue mentally and so can't rely on yourself to save you. edit: this comment is general. noting to do with this video or your son. He behaved perfectly.
I’ve been driving since I was 12, I find it easy because I’ve studied cars, and I know a lot about them. But this is cool how you’re teaching him so early.
I've just come across this and thought how good this is to start your kids first experience driving a car safely, I live near Maidstone in Kent, is there anywhere like this place near me, it would be a great place for my daughter to bring her 15 year old daughter!!
The one key thing i saw there on the hill start that the car was helping him to rev up to automatically start a hill start (hill start help), So i think thats all on him to think about and learn but hey driving isnt that eas if you would think. This is a great opportunity for a kid to learn especially car gals
Well spotted. That is one thing that my car does to help. So I was confident about getting him to just use the clutch to set off, so that there isn't so much to deal with and the danger of overrevving and lurching forwards was minimised. We'll introduce the accelerator next time 😊
Im 11 years old, i know alot of driving advice in london, also about rounabouts, dual carriageways, slip roads. Driving is easy, the people that your on the road with are not easy to control! My mom passed her test with no minors or serious or dangerous faults
I wish this were legal where I live. Constantly relying on driving schools gets expensive at times and really bad if you have a bad instructor. Also being able to do this with family could make a more friendly environment and getting more constant practice
@@jfluffydog2110 No it isn’t. You literally will get fined driving with or without someone who’s got a license. Not only that, if the other person who allowed you to drive also get a fine
@@TheGoatsy Because it's not legal, you learn this on private road. Private roads are where most manoeuvers are taught no sane person would let inexperienced person to just go right into the traffic.
I love that you explained what happening to the car and how you do will influence the car. In my country, many people don’t know how the manual car works even though they have passed the driving test. And….yeah I know. That’s terrible.💀
As someone who started driving at 14 im going to say a couple of things, practice makes perfect. It doesn't matter if your a beginner driving or a pro everyone needs to drive and make mistakes to get better. Second some people come across driving easier than others that doesn't make them better than you, that just means that you need a little more help which is okay. third, I think he did an okay job for a first timer, overtime he'll get much better!
is there as video of the instructor going round the course with the footcam etc? if so where can i find it, intrigued! teaches wayyy better than my old instructor taught me lol
If you decide to make this a series I highly reccomend you buy an older car just for him since he's your son, he is still learning so he will probably get the hang of it eventually but I noticed every time he pulls away he only uses the clutch and doesn't add any acceleration which only works in newer cars or diesels as you already know so if he gets so used to doing that by the time he's 17 - 18 and passed it will be a whole new learning curve going from a modern car that adds acceleration to an older car that doessn't due to insurance
That’s a great observation! I instructed him to drive like that on purpose as some of the junctions here are quite small and I didn’t want him smashing the gas and dumping the clutch by accident. First step being able to set off slowly but next time we’ll introduce the accelerator for fast starts 😊
@@DrivingSchoolTV ah fair enough, I was just thinking about when my dad was first teaching me to drive in a diesel and I did this a lot, then my instructor had a diesel and I still continued it, passed and had to practically relearn how to drive a car all over again when it came to owning a petrol, not to mention I had no clue how to use a handbrake because I only used the hill assist 😂
i thought it was easy too and i actually drove a car with barely any stalls and it didn't turn off on me. Now i wanna learn on a rwd because this is what i want as a daily and enjoy my car (same age as him by the way)
For the most part, it is easy, mastering the wheel is probably the hardest, 2nd is brake, sometimes you press it too hard, 3rd is gas, sometimes you press that too hard too. And what i did to master all 3 of these is I Just took my car and drove around the neighborhood a few times, while being careful, i just took the time to learn those.
Very nice for a first drive. Keep the good work, but you need to learn when you are starting to move to use the gas too because not all cars can start moving with only releasing the clutch.
Well done young man. Keep it going, you’re doing well . WELL DONE TO DAD ALSO👍, we need more people/instructors like you to teach the younger generation the right way and not to play GTA and then think that the real world is the same as a simulation / game. All the best for your son when he takes his real test I’m sure he’ll be a first time passer.👍🚙👍🚙👍🚙
first time I drove a car, I was 13, but I could barely just see above the steering so I only drove in first gear in an empty space from time to time for two years I seriously started learning how to drive when I was 15 and somewhat learnt it by 16, got my license easily and am 19 now
16 year old watching from sweden! My driving lessons have not started yet, i am gonna start in the summer. This is very educating, considering he is *about the same age as me and with about the same experience prior to this driving lesson. However, it is a bit confusing seeing you drive on the left side of the road ;)
I am 15, and I never thought it was easy... and boy when I sat in the driver's seat it really did hit me full force. Worst part that there were cops coming past as I was driving in a parking lot XD
When I was still like 5-7, I would sit on my father's lap and control the steering wheel on a straight, clear road until about the age of 11, when I first drove by myself. I'll never forget that day. I am now 15 and I still drive without my parents around my neighborhood and area because it's mostly clear roads, but I have driven once or twice in traffic and highways, and it went pretty well. I just can't wait to turn 18 and get my drivers license.
Having access to a car and family member who takes you out to practise is a privilege I wish I had. (Both my parents are disabled)
I’m especially happy for Adrian and other kids with driving instructor parents! Really good job, and good luck!

My mum and dad used to take me there to practice driving, the practice meant that when I actually started learning I got the hang of it quite quickly. The Cardrome is great, just a shame they don’t fix the potholes…
I now have my actual driving test soon, about a weeks time. 😬
good luck!!
Nice hoodie Francis! Nice kid too! Nice lesson! Nice well yeah, everything!
Awwww tysm 🫶
GO ADRIAN!! Picking it up so quickly!! ❤️
this is cute 🥺 as the daughter of a taxi driver who has taught many to drive but isnt qualified, i cant wait to experience thisss!
Aww thank you! Good luck for when you can start!!
@@DrivingSchoolTV Thank you ♡! Good luck to your son, hoping he gets his moped AND his car 😂
Right now I'm doing my driving lesson to get my driver's license and on 12 June I'm going to the exam! Greetings from Spain! 🇪🇦
i really wish to have a father like you

Wow your a really good teacher I'm 16 and I can confidentially say this vid helped a lot
A driving lesson in an Abarth 500? Damn he's living the dream. Good work, you seem like a good father :)
Yesterday i was learning with my dad
I was driving kia sonet htk
And the experience was just priceless
Learning with dad
Is just ❤❤❤
Parents are good teacher of their kids
It's their job since you were a baby 😊
oh my gosh where is this place, it looks like a lot of people also learning to drive at the same time, they need places like this in America where other teens can drive around each other and adapt to each other
Your son has the talent in driving, he managed steering very well. I am really sure he will 1 take pass when he takes the first driving practical test.
Aww cute, he looks exactly like you.
And drives like you too... j/k 😄
This place looks awesome, young driver training centre presumably.
Wish they existed when I was that age.
These driving places are a good idea, I think it's good to learn when you're younger as your brain is better at learning then.
A 5 year old can learn to speak chinese, but a 40 year old English person would really struggle.
Having said that, I just learnt to drive in my 40's, so its still possible - but I would likely have learnt faster if I was 17.
Im digging the F1 jumper!
Definitely want to see more of this 🎉
my dad's the same, teaches me how to drive but at 12 and the car is a manual. parents like this should continue doing all this stuff to their kids
I'm hoping one day my daughter will think I'm a good teacher and ask me to teach her to drive. Your videos are definitely helping me how to drive. I started watching as I got my provisional. My instructor didn't believe that I've never driven a car before on my first lesson. According to him he felt I had been driving for years. Compliment or insult who knows. I'm still a little nervous for my lessons and eventually test. Any tips for calming my nerves for meeting roads and major junctions?
That's definitely a compliment. He thought you were a natural! Best tip for driving in any situation is planning ahead! If you're planning in advance things won't jump out at you and make you so nervous. You could also try commentary driving to make planning easier. I did a video here 😊 ruclips.net/video/5PW7wGemhYg/видео.html
This is so cute! I think it would be so fun if you guys documented his whole learner journey when he's old enough to get his provisional. Also I'm pretty sure that's the cardrome near me lol. They absolutely suck. The roads are so bad and the instructors aren't great either and £20 in pound coins to get in 😐
Haha yes! Such a cool thing to have somewhere for kids to be able to drive that's like actual roads. But for somewhere they use to teach learners I was surprised how bad the road markings are. We'll definitely be back though!
@@DrivingSchoolTV i wish him all the best in his learner journey (and you teaching him haha)
Driving is really easy for some people. They may even be driving better than their instructor in 2 months time. But its important to get them to understand what an accident is because they really have no clue. A kid who hasn't experienced real desperation or a real wake up call doesn't understand something of that scale and intensity. You can't talk your way out of it. There's nothing that can be said. No comfort to be found once you make that one mistake. Being a good driver isn't about being really good at not making mistakes. Its about never making mistakes. You either drive at a 100% safe level or you don't drive safe. It's that simple. It's not a school test. 80% doesn't get you an A*. If you get a 99% grade here, you're going to end up in an accident within 50 days that was your fault and you will have to suffer the consequences. And I really mean suffer. I luckily haven't been in a car accident but I've seen them. Getting the student to push the car for 100m with the engine in neutral is a good start before learning to drive. To really get them to understand what they're moving at 10mph let alone 70. And when another car comes at you, whatever speed you're at, double it. I love racing and found driving to be really natural. But I always drove really strictly and took it really seriously even though it was super easy for me. Because I knew this wasn't a game. In games, you're racing and trying to brake as late as possible and get the best line for the corners. To this day I still do that having grown up loving racing games specially the more simulator ones. That's something I love doing and have to actively control. The entire road doesn't belong to me and the priority isn't fun. it's the safety and wellbeing of everyone involved. For people who like racing games, one thing you can do is go into the settings and disable stability control and traction control or decrease it and increase the difficulty by choosing the more simulator like option for steering and conditions rather than normal. The normal is artificial and regular cars don't have that level of downforce, traction, brakes, suspension... With these settings, your children will be able to count the number of times they would be dead per 5 minutes of them driving/racing. In the real world, you get sensor lights in your dashboard by just going over a pothole or having an older battery. In the real world, driving is boring and you zone out into your thoughts. Everyone does. Humans can't sustain attention for very long at all. And then bam. Should have developed better habits. You'll fatigue mentally and so can't rely on yourself to save you. edit: this comment is general. noting to do with this video or your son. He behaved perfectly.
Great teacher. nice one guys.
He did brilliant plus its much easier to learn when young
I’ve been driving since I was 12, I find it easy because I’ve studied cars, and I know a lot about them. But this is cool how you’re teaching him so early.
to learn driving without Power steering is so much harder !
Nice Job for driving first time.
Your sutch a good teacher so calm and gentil whitch is great because if you panic it’s likely the driver will panic
I SAW THE MIATA
yes
SAME 🫨

I've just come across this and thought how good this is to start your kids first experience driving a car safely, I live near Maidstone in Kent, is there anywhere like this place near me, it would be a great place for my daughter to bring her 15 year old daughter!!
The one key thing i saw there on the hill start that the car was helping him to rev up to automatically start a hill start (hill start help), So i think thats all on him to think about and learn but hey driving isnt that eas if you would think. This is a great opportunity for a kid to learn especially car gals
Well spotted. That is one thing that my car does to help. So I was confident about getting him to just use the clutch to set off, so that there isn't so much to deal with and the danger of overrevving and lurching forwards was minimised. We'll introduce the accelerator next time 😊
This car is so forgiving for this kid, personally i would want to learn on a old car with no helping technology.Still cool video
Im 11 years old, i know alot of driving advice in london, also about rounabouts, dual carriageways, slip roads. Driving is easy, the people that your on the road with are not easy to control! My mom passed her test with no minors or serious or dangerous faults
I wish this were legal where I live. Constantly relying on driving schools gets expensive at times and really bad if you have a bad instructor. Also being able to do this with family could make a more friendly environment and getting more constant practice
This is legal everywhere
@@jfluffydog2110 No it isn’t. You literally will get fined driving with or without someone who’s got a license. Not only that, if the other person who allowed you to drive also get a fine
@@TheGoatsythis is only legal because it's a private road mate, he couldn't drive on public roads
@@TheGoatsy Because it's not legal, you learn this on private road.
Private roads are where most manoeuvers are taught no sane person would let inexperienced person to just go right into the traffic.
Well done Adrian 🎉 that was amazing 🤩 great skills already and great explanations Francis 🥳 really nice video (especially the beginning 😍) 👍🤗👍
good job young man.😀
I love that you explained what happening to the car and how you do will influence the car. In my country, many people don’t know how the manual car works even though they have passed the driving test. And….yeah I know. That’s terrible.💀
ahh i went to this today with an instructor went very well and hopefully he does aswell!
under your teachings , i cant tell he will be a great driver one day
in the USA at 15 you can get a permeant to drive with a adult at 6:00 AM 6:00 PM then at 16 you can take your kid to the DMV to take a driving test
As someone who started driving at 14 im going to say a couple of things, practice makes perfect. It doesn't matter if your a beginner driving or a pro everyone needs to drive and make mistakes to get better. Second some people come across driving easier than others that doesn't make them better than you, that just means that you need a little more help which is okay. third, I think he did an okay job for a first timer, overtime he'll get much better!
is there as video of the instructor going round the course with the footcam etc? if so where can i find it, intrigued! teaches wayyy better than my old instructor taught me lol
If you decide to make this a series I highly reccomend you buy an older car just for him since he's your son, he is still learning so he will probably get the hang of it eventually but I noticed every time he pulls away he only uses the clutch and doesn't add any acceleration which only works in newer cars or diesels as you already know so if he gets so used to doing that by the time he's 17 - 18 and passed it will be a whole new learning curve going from a modern car that adds acceleration to an older car that doessn't due to insurance
That’s a great observation! I instructed him to drive like that on purpose as some of the junctions here are quite small and I didn’t want him smashing the gas and dumping the clutch by accident. First step being able to set off slowly but next time we’ll introduce the accelerator for fast starts 😊
@@DrivingSchoolTV ah fair enough, I was just thinking about when my dad was first teaching me to drive in a diesel and I did this a lot, then my instructor had a diesel and I still continued it, passed and had to practically relearn how to drive a car all over again when it came to owning a petrol, not to mention I had no clue how to use a handbrake because I only used the hill assist 😂
i thought it was easy too and i actually drove a car with barely any stalls and it didn't turn off on me. Now i wanna learn on a rwd because this is what i want as a daily and enjoy my car (same age as him by the way)
For the most part, it is easy, mastering the wheel is probably the hardest, 2nd is brake, sometimes you press it too hard, 3rd is gas, sometimes you press that too hard too. And what i did to master all 3 of these is I Just took my car and drove around the neighborhood a few times, while being careful, i just took the time to learn those.
that kid lucky not getting beat up everytime he stalls the car
Very nice for a first drive. Keep the good work, but you need to learn when you are starting to move to use the gas too because not all cars can start moving with only releasing the clutch.
Well done young man. Keep it going, you’re doing well . WELL DONE TO DAD ALSO👍, we need more people/instructors like you to teach the younger generation the right way and not to play GTA and then think that the real world is the same as a simulation / game. All the best for your son when he takes his real test I’m sure he’ll be a first time passer.👍🚙👍🚙👍🚙
first time I drove a car, I was 13, but I could barely just see above the steering so I only drove in first gear in an empty space from time to time for two years
I seriously started learning how to drive when I was 15 and somewhat learnt it by 16, got my license easily and am 19 now
What’s first gear? I wanna know
@@RDR2_TM7the first of the multiple gears of the car's gearbox/transmission.
16 year old watching from sweden! My driving lessons have not started yet, i am gonna start in the summer. This is very educating, considering he is *about the same age as me and with about the same experience prior to this driving lesson. However, it is a bit confusing seeing you drive on the left side of the road ;)
It has gone well
He is just 15 and he is doing so good
20:34 Proud father moment.
Haha so proud I can’t even talk properly 😂
Im 15 and my dad tought me how to drive a manual, today i can drive like someone who has a licence although i don't
Good luck on your exam.
@@theiaraine thanks ig 😀 although I'm a little scared 😰
@@someone_834 I'm 16 and mine is in a couple weeks. Just get as much practice as you can and be confident.
I am 15, and I never thought it was easy... and boy when I sat in the driver's seat it really did hit me full force. Worst part that there were cops coming past as I was driving in a parking lot XD
He was actually doing great as a 'first time', i remember mine, it was traumatizing 😂
W dad W son impressive driving for beginner
When I was still like 5-7, I would sit on my father's lap and control the steering wheel on a straight, clear road until about the age of 11, when I first drove by myself. I'll never forget that day. I am now 15 and I still drive without my parents around my neighborhood and area because it's mostly clear roads, but I have driven once or twice in traffic and highways, and it went pretty well. I just can't wait to turn 18 and get my drivers license.
Can’t you get your learners permit?
9:30 short explained. Its called a clutch bite
What an amazing facility for learners, I wish there was something like that where I live for me to take my Son. Where is that?
