Clutch Control in Traffic and on a Hill - Tips and Tricks - How To Not Burn Out Your Clutch
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 май 2024
- Manual Car Clutch Control in Traffic, whether it's on a hill or on flat ground is tricky but gets far easier with a few tips, tricks and practice!
Manual, standard, stick shift cars are definitely more difficult to learn than automatic, but far more satisfying once you get the hang of it and so much more enjoyable to drive.
Having to creep forward in traffic with a manual gearbox car can be difficult, but no more so than every other car with practice!

@@Lilregpackcry harder
@@cigarrr I’m not crying it’s just weird lmao
That's not true
Hahaha
one good thing about driving a manual in america is, you never have to lock your car, nobody can steal it lmao
lol true
But they can steal what's in it
All types of wrong lmao
Excuse me what state you live in ? 💀
Unless they are part of the 5% that drive manuals
This whole "tiny, gentle movements" thing is the single hardest part of driving for me. Tell me I'm not alone with this!
It is for me too I can't let my clutch out slow enough I have a habit of accidentally dumping it on hills
No, you 're not alone :P. I eventually figured out that it's all about the heel
Just burn clutch first before car move
You arent!
Yup I still have issue at lights when in first gear , jumping the car or stalling out lol
Ever get the shaky leg while learning a clutch?
I do and how tf do I let go of the clutch smoothly ?? My leg moves in rapid short movements..
@@Kevin_burgess Just practice easing off the clutch & learn your car on what amount it needs to move. I learned the bite point this morning after about 10 mins driving around my block.
1:10
@@Kevin_burgess Rest your heel on the floor and ease off your toes slowly. Don't use your entire leg
@@KinkyNothing i practiced with my fourwheeler bc I wasn't good with the clutch on it. After a whole day of taking off on it I learned a lot about how to use a clutch even though it's just a fourwheeler.
I just bought a manual car (wrx) and I do not regret it! My first week I was so close to giving up because of how hard it was to learn coming from a automatic hahah but after I got over my fear of stalling and hills, I’ve come to find out that driving is so much more enjoyable ! I don’t even listen to the radio because I’d rather listen to my car and that’s coming from someone who would always bump music. The only down side is that in America people have 0 patience. The light could turn green and I’m barely releasing my clutch and someone will already start honking at me or don’t even get me started with the tailgating 🥱 Southern California is the worst for manual drivers
Lit
Trying to learn on my STI, with a commuter car, it's so forgiving. I'm having the hardest time not riding the clutch coming out of 1st. This car being so sensitive, I feel like I'm starting new all over.
Oh yeah, been driving for a couple of months, I always take my sweet time at traffic lights
@@robertthompson5018 wait riding the clutch?
The patience factor is so true and I'm glad some one else understands. I live in Pittsburgh PA, it's hill city. And the east coast is a total rat race, cities just are. I have never wanted to flip people off till I got a manual haha. I've got just a jeep renegade my brother had a wrx and that was where I learned. I want to get a sportier car asap. Do you ever get a quick start on a hill, you have to go to a higher gear, and the lag in between the people behind you get pissed off being your not going? 80% of people don't even know a manual exists. A lot of people don't have relaxed driving nowadays like there's no such thing as a cruise. Thanks to my manual I've been reminded of just renjiying driving
Since I live in the US, When I started driving manual I made sure to have a "Learning Manual - Stay Back" and "Be Patient" magnets on my trunk. You won't believe how much more peace of mind it gave me looking at my rearview and seeing many drivers actually give me space. Even though I know how to drive manual pretty much perfectly now I still keep those magnets on since the US really doesn't understand the difficulty and challenging times a manual driver faces. Especially on hills.
A manual driver doesn’t face ‘challenging times’ u just can’t drive an manual properly
Even pros can fail, kid
@@timo0415 You don't just magically know how to drive manual. You have to learn. YOU were no exception. You also learned and went through struggles just like everyone else.
Whether in a manual or auto, you make a great point: Don't just automatically mirror the person in the car in front of you everytime they move forward. Wait until you decide it's time to move up a bit.
Literally 80% of people I see nowadays. And it causes problems. 80% of people don't even know a manual exists. Whenever I lag going up a hill shifting, the people get pissed off becasue I'm not "going" I've learned to enjoy driving and relaxing while driving a lot more in a manual
@@josiahwells7442 good point! Im still learning how to drive manual and im anxious that the car behind me will be pissed off if i didn’t react fast in traffic.
Thank you for that. Really. 😁🙂 That statement actually makes me feel better about my skills with a manual transmission. (I’m not very good, but still learning every time drive and I always enjoy it. Just like my dad did.)
@@mwksandman6260 Good for you MWk
@@josiahwells7442 Where you live I will never want to move in.
come to india to learn how to drive ... if you survive ,you can drive anywhere in the world.
Lol so true
Maybe that's why all the taxi and Uber drivers here are Indian ... And they all drive crazy LOL.
atleast here in manila, drivers are more disciplined than the drivers, but if you can survive the philippine driving conditions, then you can drive anywhere around the globe.b in saudi arabia, while in saudi arabia, where majority of arab drivers dont even know how to use the side mirrors, turn signals, and they dont even look on the intersection, before making a move, you better put some extra care before driving there.
Indian drivers coming to uk are the worst, they don't follow the highway code at all, and are the biggest danger to others.
@@galatei11 ikr I'm indian, I don't wanna drive anymore cuz of the crazy drivers around me I now have anger issues.
Lol!
When you said about having patience and not to rush off as the other traffic moves - that's a big reason manuals are not driven in the USA. No one will give you an extra second to get moving. I can't even get my foot off the brake and onto the accelerator (automatic) fast enough here before people start beeping and losing their shit.
Amanda M I drive Manual it’s called screw them and take my time don’t add more pressure to yourself
Ya I used to care what other people think but now I just drown it all out fuck em
Kaybe Vang AMEN. They will be alright. 😂😂 or get over it.
Amanda M wow ur gorgeous can I be your stalker on Instagram? No really I just wanna see how cute you are. :)
Do that shit to me and I'm stopping and not going anywhere even though the light is green.
I remember watching this video a year ago not knowing how to drive manual, now ive got my own manual car and i drive it like its nothing.
Hills, traffic, clutch control, downshift, rev match, etc are all a peice of cake Now.
stick in there y'all! you'll learn in no time, stay consistent.
So there is hope? 🤧 wow thanks

I do it too!! It's all about the wiggly foot!!

Wow. It helps me a lot while driving uphill. Putting the hand break on while revving up the engine just to pull away without thinking that you will roll back is one of the best method for me as a beginner. Thank you for making this video it sure helped me a lot.
4:32 I relate on an extreme level to that fast look up at the rear view after accidentally stalling
I PASSED!!
gjbf congrats! I passed 2 weeks ago tomorrow still feels surreal!
Well done lad, drive safe!

UK road tests require manuals? That's insane!
6000 revs and dump the clutch
especially on a hill
great idea!!!! il try it later!!!!!!
RIP clutch
depends how powerful your engine is
hehehe
Passed my driving test today and honestly all your tips were super beneficial. Thank you!
Your video made more sense than others, regarding mechanical wear and pointless cluch riding.
I'm always fearful of stalling on a hill and the driver behind me being way to close. I near floor the accelerator with the clutch at the biting point before I let the hand brake go. Rather look idiotic than look in the wallet for how you're gonna pay for rolling into someone else's car
Same :)
I wish I had a manual. I drive a 2009 Ford crown Victoria P71 which has a dumb 4 speed automatic with 4.6L V8 250HP. however, I love that its RWD. I wish the Ford crown Victoria had a manual. I live in the US. I hate that drive slow in the fast lane.
Ford crown Victorias have their top speed limited to 130mph because of its rear axle ratio. My Ford crown Victoria accelerates quick enough to move over.
In the US at least, if someone is so close that you roll back into them the collision is considered their fault
If your car has an electronic handbrake, then you shouldn't roll back on a hill, also, the handbrake will release automatically when you get to your bite point. There's a lot of steep hills here where I live, so it's a godsend!
I’m from South Africa 🇿🇦 and thank you for this video 👏🏾
This video is freaking awesome!!! why? because I dont have to sit and stir my eyes to a person talking when all that I want to see is a person driving and showing in two screens how to use the clutch, the shift and the driving at the same time during a traffic. The explanations are concise and precise. And I loved that! Thank you for this short tutorial.
I have practised for the last 2 weeks and i can boldly say i have mastered the art perfectly courtesy of mr paykos....your simply the best sir
You know i probably stall more than usual coz I think oh crap the traffic behind me are probably getting fraustrated
Screw em. The first thing you learn when you pass is that everyone's out for themselves.
@David F work maybe?
@@redknockz454 that's not your problem, they chose to have a commute and all the uncertainty around it
This is normal, try to see other drivers as just the car, not a person who will get annoyed at you. I find this helps with calming nerves and not rushing.
Let them get frustrated, a little narcissism is required to drive in traffic
Love this camera set up, thank youuuuuu
In US, just a sticker of THIS IS MANUAL TRANSMISSION is enough security
Impeccable audio quality on this mate👍
Wayhay POV videos fiiinaaaalllyyyy ;) interesting video. Cheers paynoob. Also, loving the new outro song.
This has really helped, I've struggled with roundabouts and traffic so I was quite panicked and would stall but this has helped a lot thank you
I passed my test today first time, with the help of most of your videos. They were a great help thank you
I was driving up this hill yesterday with my instructor and it made me extremely nervous! I stalled the car, and when I felt/saw the car rolling back I started to panic. I have my driving test soon and this is one of the possible hills on the test. I even had people beeping me to move because I was taking a bit longer than they wanted me to. But thank you so much for this video!! Makes me less nervous now!
Sounds familiar. Nobody likes it at first, but it's like riding a bicycle: you try for weeks and nothing seems to work, and then all of a sudden you find you can do it, and wonder why you found it difficult! Like everything else, it's just down to practice and familiarity. Best of luck with the test.
The best way to learn how to use a clutch is parking and relatively slow driving, it will help you find out where the biting point is.
Great video paynos, great explanation of clutch control and pulling away on hill in traffic.
Cheers mate
This was surprisingly really informative. And watching you drive made me stay right though the end of the video. It was great help, thank you.
thanks very much for helping me pass my driving test first time with only 2 hours of lessons :)
Thanks for the tips. These type of videos helped me quite a bit before I bought my first manual a few days ago. I had about 4 hours of seat time and then today(Monday) decided to make the 15 mile commute to work in heavy rush hour traffic. I stalled like once on the way to work and twice on the way home.only took maybe an extra 7 or 8 seconds to get the car moving each time I just road the clutch a little more till I felt a soft bite point had been made. I heard a lot of things about not riding the clutch and I know that's certainly true but I was letting the clutch out much too fast toward the beginning. I think the clutch can probably take a fair amount of low RPM clutch slipping in its lifetime as that's what its made to do in first gear. Learning on a lowered sports car probably isn't exactly the easiest.. I have to move pretty slowly over speed bumps or else I get a nice little crunch from the bottom of the car, or just a scrape which isn't as bad. My plan is to just keep being gentle on the clutch and letting it ride especially in 1st an 2nd gear which I'm having the hardest time with. I think over time ill be getting the car moving from a stop much quicker. As far as ripping through 3rd 4th 5th 6th gear its really easy and satisfying.
this has been almost exactly my experience, verbatim.
Your video really helped me to be confident on the road, especially on the hills. Thank you!
Not sure if you read these comments but thank you for mentioning the heel advice I recently test drove a new manual car and not only was my leg hurting but the amount of control that I lost by floating my legs was immense
You can do this in Europe because you won't be executed for driving too slow. I am trying to learn in Houston...
Don't Care how's it going so far???
Same in Houston people either ride your ass or drive fast
Don't Care I know everybody in Texas seems to always want to ride ur ass, it's redicoulous and it's called tailgating and it's a $500 fine
Where is Houston?
gunstar1981 Texas, USA
Very encouraging- I just got my first standard shift civic and I love it!!!
This actually helped me, didn’t stall at all today. Thank you very much.
This video has actually taught me so much. Thank you!
Its a shame the 96% of people here in the US drive automatic.
Yusuf elsayed you're joking?
Nope. Its true. Almost all people here drive automatic.
Must be sooo much easier to pass in an automatic. Or do you have to take 2 tests for manual and automatic?
Sideways Nutrition just for automatic..
If you pass the exam for passenger vehicles your licensed to drive any passenger vehicle with any transmission. Our driving education and exam are very basic and easy.
Remember watching this 2 years ago when I was learning to drive. Great video man
This video is brilliant! Helped me a lot as I'm still learning! Also go karting videos sound like they would be fun to watch! :D
After these videos man I learned a lot from this guy. Great channel man!
Can you do more of these videos? They are really helpful thanks
No moar, manual sux
Great video, I think more videos like this which help care for the clutch and reduce wear would be awesome
Definitely something I want to focus on. How to driving vids tend to focus on the driving test and not actually how to drive to look after your car and make you a more skilled driver overall
Dude your video was so freaking helpful. Cheers mate !
Thank you for posting such a relaxed and informative video on how to deal with traffic and starting on a hill :)
Thank you for watching!
I've seen a lot of tutorials suggesting to keep your heel to the ground, but with the rubber mats in my Fiesta, my foot wouldn't drag and get stuck. I typically for starting off anyway, lift my whole leg to the bite point, and pivot on my ankle, bringing the front of my foot up to complete the engagement. With that, my leg is floating but my calf muscle is controlling muscle.
You should replace the carpet or not use it at all in order to ease dragging your foot. Heel on the floor is still the recommended way for controlling the clutch.
Came to watch this for fun and realized your actually the reason I can drive my manual, watched a lot of your videos about 7 months ago and now I’m heel toe downshifting thanks for getting me going man!!!
Except the video provided will ruin your clutch lmao...alway take it out of gear when coming to a stop to prevent unnecessary clutch wear...your clutch won't last 20k taking this guys advice.
this is one of the best videos about this subject thanks for this man, saludos desde Perú
Great video man!
Great voice, it feels like I'm listening to a radio show while stuck in traffic
Driving on a hill with traffic make good drivers sweat
I’m learning quickly as I live in Medway valley with lots of hills and over run with traffic
Ohh glad to know im not the only foot wobbler haha and nice rev matching too :)
I also got taught to leave a gap from car infront and enough to see about a foot of road between bottom of windscreen and the car infront. Great vid btw.
I'm from India and I believe Manual Car owners enjoys driving much more than Automatic car owners. Because There's is nothing to do in the automatic model. You just need steering balance. Once you get familiar with Manual car. You'll enjoy car driving very well. Driving is also an Art.
Said from experience 😇
Exactly. Same in Italy.
same thing my brother says, its nice to drive a manual but in my country it doesnt apply. lots of traffic, itll be stressful
I know how to drive but im still watching hahaha
“22 k subs is mad” - then I looked down to see you have 81k now ! Somehow it’s so rewarding to see haha
That was the best tutorial I've ever seen. Thank you
Your videos help so much
Leave some suggestions for him to do videos on?
I'm a bit of a late learner, got my licence about 5 months ago at 31. Having driven around privately those past months have shaped me as a driver far more so than my lessons, though they were good. Learned in a 2014 BMW c-class amg. Too nice probably for driving lessons, as it'll get moving by just letting off the clutch. The instructor barely ever said 'give it a little gas when you let off the clutch'. Something I had to learn myself in a Seat Ibiza Eco from 2008. It's absolutely essential for good clutch control/hill starts/traffic etc.
Roads like the one in the video would probably be nicer in an automatic though. That in my opinion is the biggest advantage automatics have, and there's a lot of people who have to drive in shitty traffic every day.
saltypies Wtf is a 'BMW C Class AMG' hahahaha?
McLarenBMW Not as good as learning in a Type R EP3 with 4 turbochargers, 2 superchargers, a Ferrari engine and Lambo exhaust system!
McLarenBMW You don't even understand, I was going 439mph in my driving test. The examiner was well impressed!
Usaamah Riaz frankenstein car. meant Mercedes C Class

Glad you got a stall on camera. Thanks mate!
I haven’t driven a manual in 8 years since the last one I owned. Hills was the only thing I ever struggled at and I never got it down where it was second nature even after years so I’m watching videos now cuz I’m buying one soon.
i burnt my clutch in my driving test and still passed lol
ello' lads lool fkn love that intro man
Very helpful video man. Cheers!
Cheers for the video, my drivers teacher never told me about using the hand brake on hills he always taught me to find the biting point and just go which was hard to tell if it was on the biting point or not gonna try it out tomorrow!
Thank for the useful info. Just one advice - you've mentioned not getting to close to the car at the front in city driving but you were still doing it.
The rule is tyre and tarmac so when stopping you can see the tyres of the car in front of you as well as a bit of tarmac.
This is why I love diesels. It's so easy to drive! Hill starts you can just have your foot on the brake and clutch then just move up to the bite, let go of the brake. The car will just hold still then accelerate and release clutch. So much easier than working with revs, handbrake and everything else. Also normally diesel clutches can take more than petrol. So it's much more difficult to kill them. My last car I purposely tried to kill my clutch as it needed a new one anyway and it took me about 4 months with me driving with the clutch half down
@FY60GZV But diesels are going to become more and more expensive as the government are going to tax them like crazy. It's not difficult to drive a petrol car, even a low powered 3 cylinder 1.0 litre petrol like my car. You just give it a bit of gas before moving off, no big deal. Also the usability of petrols is better, unless you do long runs up and down the motorway, then diesels aren't much good. You will just be damaging your DPF which is very expensive to replace. Petrols are the way forward for now.
I used to have a peugeot 107 with a 1 litre petrol engine. with that id rev it around 1500 - 2000 revs to move it off, a lot more if im full of passengers. Now i have a ford fiesta zetec s 1.6 diesel. With a diesel engine ive noticed you hardly need to rev the nuts off it. Id rev it just over 1000 revs and in stop start traffic just using the clutch is adequate. Ive also noticed with extra weight you dont have to rev the engine more than you would if theres no weight which is another thing i like. Its hard stalling a diesel, ive been driving it since july and i havent stalled it since. Its these things which draw me to diesels plus the cheaper running costs. this car is claimed more mpg and has more power than my previous car. Road tax is £30 pounds which is only a tenner more. Not all diesels come with DPFs. my car doesnt have it thank god however its best to boot diesels sometimes to kick all that crud out
@Zain K Your car will have a DPF as they have been used for about 20 years and is a legal requirement to have one fitted in the UK on vehicles that had them fitted from manufacture. To have one removed will result in a MOT failure.
Strangely they started putting the DPF from 2008 fiestas (mk7). i have a mk6.5 fiesta which doesnt have it
Really? Well then your car won't be very environmentally friendly. Sorry but with the government becoming very much anti-diesel they will be taxing it heavily in the near future. You might want to consider using the diesel scrappage scheme that dealerships are offering now. Do you have to pay the London T-Charge for your car?
Your videos have helped me so much especially this one so thanks
Many thanks! Your videos are very helpful and I passed my driving test on Monday 26th March 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Ello boooooys. Hope everyone's had a great week, OG video out today and plenty to follow
Paynos first time driving alone. Mum said 'You wanna learn? Take the car and go!'. I went. Got over the first hill and onto the main road. Pulled out into a uphill sidestreet and stalled in the middle of the turn. Tried again, stalled a bit further up. All the while this kid from school was jogging up ahead giving me the death stare. Decided fuck It and did a u turn back home. Got home, and realised I had driven all around town with the handbrake up. It was my first time 😂
When my Ford crown Victoria got stuck in the mud. The worst part is the Ford crown Victoria is RWD with 250HP only. Ford crown Victoria is a fleet car, not an offroad car. I know you are not familiar with the Ford crown Victoria because they are not sold in the in the UK.
First time driving alone after passing, stalled at single lane lights and the car wouldn’t start again! Just needed to press the accelerator a little but didn’t know that at the time!
stalled right after someone created me a gap and signalled me to drive through.. must have been really frustrating for him! but you are god-sent.. thank you for this! watching your vids forced me to look after my clutch.. am not too kind to it apparently.. am def going to try that wiggly motion when pressing down
stalled on a roundabout when I was trying to leave, then lights changed to red and I was half way covering the roundabout crossing and missed my opportunity, had to wait a few extra minutes to leave in the end, that was my second time driving alone and first time alone at night too🙈 not embarrassing for me just a little frustrating at the time haha
Just saying, intro of hello lads. So legendary
heel on the floor is a huge tip, worked wonders for me
I'll learn to drive soon and this is one of the most parts of manual driving that's been confusing me so thank you :)
No worries, have fun!
I am doing the same wiggly thing with my left foot. I think it is caused by the fact that when you are releasing the clutch, but have to engage it again quickly (in traffic), your foot is misaligning on the clutch pedal (pushing pedal with center of the foot not with toes) which is uncomfortable and you are trying to move it to correct this, but have to still hold the pedal down. And the propable misalignment in my case happens, because of my way of releasing the clutch (just like yours) first - heel in the air and when I release a bit, I rest it on the floor and release more. In this second phase pedal is sliding on your foot so it can end up in the center, not on toes.
I am sorry for bad english, I hope you understand what I wanted to say :P
Hi Jan. I know that your comment is 3 years old... but have you tried flexing your foot back when in need of engaging the clutch again (in the same way when releasing the pedal)? For me, it had been impossible to do at first (too much force required), but after few tries it worked. By using this method, your heel stays in the same place, and there is no misallignment between the pedal and your foot :)
Yeah, this lol, when I release and have to engage it again, my posture is screwed 😂, took my a while to build some muscle strength and technique in the foot
This just looks like so much work. A second before i’m about to move off i just catch the biting point with my foot on the break, blip the throttle to 2000-2500 rpms (depends on how steep the hill is), hold it there and start moving off.
I tried the hand break technique when i first started driving manual and it was just too much work. Made me almost give up driving manuals in general
Using the handbrake as this guy mentioned,will put unnecessary wear on your clutch.it just takes practice
hi great videos, im a new driver and stalling alot so going to use your tips and tricks tomorow. i already hate hill starts and im really worried about damaging my car
Thank for this video it has really helped me I passed my test last week and bought my first car yesterday the bite is very different to the learner car I was in
For hill starts, I usually dont use the handbrake. I simply put my foot on the brake and balance the clutch till I feel the biting point and slowly release the brakes since the car will slowly creep forwards and then step on the gas a bit and off you go.
I failed my first driving test which was devastating. Going for the second one tmrw. Wish me luck 😩

@Kittanon Joomcom Lol she has to be happy most women are scared to take risk..
You should not worry about hills. If you know how to drive a manual car then hills and straight roads are the same. You just need to control clutch much more while you drive on hills. Straight roads are easy to go if it is straight you can go easily but when you drive at hills then you need to use clutch very closely if you use it low then you can't move maybe you can slide a little bit back, but if you use it enough then you can easily climb hills, mountains or something bigger. So just don't worry about clutch and do not use your handbrake because it is now made for it. It is made for using to parking. You should just understand the importance and system of clutch. Then its all going to be okay. Have fun while driving.
Now thats some fancy foot work and I also like the shoes👍
hey your videos are very helpful thank you!!
"Even on hills you can get away with low RPMs. Think 2500 and under."
Holy crap I use 2500 when I'm launching the car. 1500 on hills, 1200 on flat ground. 1.6 NA petrol.
Don't launch a diesel without throttle. You will get used to it on flat ground and stall it on a hill.
Release the clutch and put it in neutral when you're not moving gosh
Dani Torres that’s exactly what I was thinking
ikr wtf
Pilot bearing rip
Fr wth
Thank god someone mentioned it
That double roundabout and holywell hill, nightmare memories of my test at St. Albans DTC
Very helpful,,I realized how keen u were.
Lol it’s so much easier without handbrake imo :D
Just stay on your brake and get to the biting point, then release the brake and give gas as well. While at the biting point you can’t roll backwards bc the gearbox will lock your wheels to only drive forward (except if you’re in reverse). Giving some gas while on the biting point will then get you going without stalling or any other problems :D no handbrake needed.
I see why it’s often said that in Great Britain lots of things are learned by using the handbrake 😅
You use the handbrake more in UK because it has more small engined petrol cars. If you tried to use the footbrake in a petrol engine of 1.2L or less you're going to stall on steep hills because you need the revs to even hold you. Also setting the handbrake is quick enough 99% of the time anyway once you're used to it.
Why not use reversed heel n toe while doing a hill start. No handbrake, instant power if needed, finer speed control, and no need to find the biting point.
@@zainabe9503 Or just use the handbrake because it's 10x easier and pretty much zero drawbacks for even novice drivers.
True
@@Swisskies been doing heel n toe since I started driving. Hill start, hill pause, crowded traffic jam ascending, no problemo. Those who kept on doing handbrakes tend to cause more jams, getting nervous on hills, reversing backward. Seen that time and again, enough said.
I always put it on “N” when I stop then back to “1sr gear” when I go 🤪
I came here to help relieve the pulled calve muscle I incurred while trying to back-up into an slightly inclined spot. Now I know the secret on how to relieve that pain. I'll practice again tomorrow!
I am a learner and I have learnt a lot from you. Thank you.
Hi, could you do a video on roundabouts
You must give way to the cars on your left that have already entered the roundabout. That's it.
Ned. Kartalov you mean right, ? or you not in the UK?
If youre turning left or going straight on you use the left lane, if youre turning right or going round the roundabout you use the right hand lane (you have to be careful because some roundabout the left hand lane is to turn left only so look at the road markings!) you also give way to the right and if anyone is on the roundabout you give way to them.
Ross Roden summed up perfectly!
Matthew Boyd haha, cheers. My instructor told me to think of it like a clock. Makes it a lot easier if you visualise it
right turns next boyo?
So British and relaxing, nice vid
Excellent explanation brother and please make some more important videos like this
