Help ! Cant feel the biting point. im driving a 2010 Honda City Sedan with manual transmission. i practiced creeping with the clutch and gas pedals but just couldn't get that dip in the rear of the car. is there any other way for me to tell if im in the biting point already ? Also can you make a video explaining why do manual transmission cars stall ?
***** Am really Happy to say this that I just passed my driving test today afternoon! This is happened with your Intense Training here via videos! Amazing Work you're doing Bro! Thank You Once again!
I've been driving confidently for three months now and I'd like to heap praise at the +World Driving guys for helping me with my clutch control. These videos are awesome and even though I'm more confident now I always pick up new tricks from the videos. Awesome job guys!!
I'm a new learner driver and I've been stressing about traffic and glutch control. I kept stalling until I started watching your videos. You're a very good teacher. Thank you
I actually really don't mind slow moving traffic (as long as its on the flat) because there's no reason to rush your footwork and its great practice for finding the bite point. I find it harder when everything is flowing well and you need to get moving quicker off a light or intersection
I passed in September and only recently got a car - my God my clutch control has deteriorated incredibly fast! Thankfully I have your videos to rely on.
Greetings from New Zealand! Your videos are a *huge* help. Most drivers in NZ drive autos but I decided to learn on a manual because it made the driving experience more involved and fun :-) Your video answers a lot of my questions on how to coordinate the pedals in slow stop-go traffic. Thanks!
Im a new/beginner driver and this is helping me alot understanding clutch control. Thank you! I'm still trying to feel that biting point and I'm nervous whenever there's a stop on, well not really a hill but a road going (a little) up and I once rolled backwards and thankfully I stepped on the brakes before I crashed onto the motorcycle behind me. This is teaching me so much and I'm so going to practice more :)
thanks Chris i am from Zimbabwe your lessons are useful i had a two hour lesson and i didn't stall ...then went for my test i am grateful i now have my drivers license
you now what everyone should watch your video clips . the best lesson I have learned. I just pass my first practical test today. thanks to all videos you stick for me.cheers.
Easily the worst thing about driving a manual, I remember my third ever lesson I got stuck in a nasty traffic jam and kept stalling non stop, stressed out my instructor and the car driving behind me 😂 just need to practice, practice and practice
I was impressed by the patience of the drivers and I appreciated that neither of them wanted to get out of the traffic jam right away. It's different in Indonesia, when I drive on the highway, even at a red light, they really want to step on the gas and don't think about other people who have a different clutch and gas pedal. In essence, horn number 1 so that the driver in front of him immediately drove.
I always enjoy your videos & too driving a manual car...what I do is below---(my principles) BEST & SAFE METHOD TO MOVE ANY VEHICLE & CREEPING FORWARD IS-1/Hold the brake & clutch simultaneously in 1st gear . 2/Release the clutch up to the biting point (car start to vibrate little bit) & release the brake slightly gradually in a controlled manner . SITUATION 1=>Car will automatically move forward,If it's on a levelled or low inclined surface depending upon the load on the vehicle . SITUATION 2=>If not moving forward & not rolling back( stand still) then give slight gas with the clutch carefully gradually releasing will move the car forward . SITUATION 3=>If after releasing the clutch up to biting point & with slight controlled release of brake,car is rolling back(means on an uphill gradient) then instantly stop the roll back by pressing the foot brake & applying the parking brake .Then we have to move the car ahead by PARKING BRAKE METHOD OF HILL STARTING (POSITION-Engaged parking brake in 1st gear with clutch depressed fully, ACTION-Slightly more gas-upto 1.5k to 2k RPM,then release clutch up to biting point at this slight high rpm=> Feel the forward pulling of car by front wheel,that is dip down of back portion of car,then slowly release the parking brake at that fixed position of gas & clutch pedal will move the car easily against the inclined surface too .) FOR CREEPING FORWARD- Just after slightly moving the car(by above methods in all conditions) gradually release the clutch upto the biting point & gradually fully with or without gas input(as per requirement) . TO CONTROLL THE CREEPING SPEED-First Depress the clutch fully followed by gently brake(as per requirement) if the required creeping speed is attained . [LONGER TIME HALF CLUTCH with increased engine RPM damges the clutch,So increased half clutch duration should be avoided by maintaining a gap in front & driving with completely released clutch in 1st gear with no or required slight accelerator input if on an contionious uphill ]
This video is SO helpful! I was practicing my clutch control as the situation on the road changes, alongside you. I definitely need to work on just getting into the rhythm of switching between clutch, brake and acceleration - especially at traffic lights. Thanks again!
thankxx broo i m watching it in 2020 and it is very useful for me .today my father beated me because i was not able to find the biting point , now i have developed confidence after watching this video
I drive in India which is extremely difficult, because there is no proper traffic rules and making it worse is that, no one ever follows a safe driving here. Too many motor cyclists make me even more confused when I drive. If you live here in India, you would perfectly relate to what I am saying. Anyway, this video makes me feel confident about controlling my car clutch. Awesome tutorial! Thank you ever so much! God bless!
+Meigulung Same here in my country. When in stationary on a hill, motorcylists love to get close to cars, left side, right side and behind. But what more make me annoyed is when a manual truck gets close behind my car too. Truck drivers know that a manual car has a risk of rolling back when starting off on a hill, but they themselves behave as if they don't know. Back to motorcylists. I always try to block them so that they don't have chance to pass from the left side. But then they try to pass from the right side :)
Thankyou this was awesome -I'm watching it constantly xx I'm learning in a Manual & automatic I thought I was afraid of traffic but I found out I'm afraid of not being in control of the car in traffic ,I'm still struggling with clutch & gears ,auto I am good with this helps so much plus you are totally relaxing 😊😊😊💖
I just got my license a month ago, and recently bought a car. I have however been avoiding any chance to drive it, because I keep stalling EVERY time I have to start the car, and sometimes it will happen like 8 times in a row! I know it's really bad for the car, not to think about the fact that it is really humiliating, and it makes me so frustrated, because I can't seem to figure out what I am doing wrong. This never happened when I was driving with my instructor. Now I am just really scared of driving, and it's very depressing as I literally spent all my money on a license and a used car. But this video was very helpful. Next time I'm about to rip my head off while cars are honking at me, I will replay your video in my head, and hopefully that will help me think clearly, or else I am maybe not suppose to be driving a car, I don't even know, but thank you! :)
+Marie Groes-Petersen You most likely practiced and passed your test in a diesel, which are much easier to drive without stalling (start off with just the clutch) than a petrol and I'm guessing you bought a petrol? Which will need gas when setting off.
+Marie Groes-Petersen Initially I avoided driving in the rush hours. After getting used to manage the clutch and throttle, I can now drive in the traffic without stalling the car. More practice in less stress condition helps me a lot. My 2 cents.
+Marie Groes-Petersen Stalling the car (manual ofc) happens to everybody, yeah even "PRO's" stall sometimes. just practice and be confident don't mind those cars honking. the more you think of them the more nervous you'll be and the more likely you'll stall the car. just think of what your instructor taught you or what you've learned on this video.
Perhaps you're not feeling the biting point? You should remove the clutch slowly until you feel the vibrations of the car (it is different for each car) then remove it even slower, and press on the gas smoothly. It takes practice, but it can be done. Good luck! Don't be afraid!
It's a very important tip he gave us about using gas when taking off. It really does help you not stall, so if you are a new driver who has some trouble when taking off, remember to use petrol it helps a lot I can tell you from experience.
I was in the traffic for 1.5 hour this morning to work using the techniques your described. Since the traffic stops and goes very frequently, I get the car moving by using 1or2nd gear and then put into neutral as much as I can to coast (particularly downhill). Engaging back to the gear once the traffic moves again. Thank you for sharing these practical lessons.
Thank you so much Chris...its getting more clear to me..my driving lessons are become more easy and enjoyable..will soon get my licence....you are amazing..love you
i got a drive licence but im still not good at gear changing but watching ur videos are helping me alot so please keep ur videos coming because they are worth watching good luck
Hi Chris, I will be taking my test week Friday, your videos are really helpful thank you. Clutch control is something I'm working hard at so its great to see this outside of my lessons.
I have lessons in a small petrol car. My instructor tells me to only use the clutch in these situations, slight and precise movements of the clutch in and around the biting point. Same principle when parallel parking.
Haha correct, I always lift the clutch too darn fast it's a habitat :/, and when your switching simultaneously between 3 pedals at once it really boggles your mind sometimes.
Hello Chris, Thank you so much for another great video. Just wanted to tell you that like many others I passed my test but still continue to watch your channel. Thanks:)
this is what really pissed me off when on my lessons. "biting point" alway stalled the car at roundabouts when you need to be quick and traffic like this. taking lessons again for hours at a time starting Friday the 13th - Gulp this is the only bad thing about driving a manual car. loving your vids though mate subscribed.
hey chris! thank you for all the videos they are really helping me gonna get my first driving test in a week i'll do better with your tips! greetings from india :)
I've just begun learning and after a while of this stop and go the clutch began to smell a little from riding the clutch like this. I'd hate to burn it out while learning but my technique was almost identical to yours in the video 😯
you must have been "riding" the clutch for far too long... riding means keeping it at its "bite" point but doing nothing. the clutch plates would rub, generating heat and a smell.
***** watch the video in the link above, its awesome:). But one thing I can say is if you roll back on a hill its either you're not in the correct gear, you let go the the clutch too quickly or you didn't give the car enough gas. Also use the creeping technique (lifting the clutch up very lightly to go faster or down very lightly to slow down ) where relevant and use you handbrake:)
Sakhile Dlamini The main reason people roll back on a hill is because they release the handbrake before reaching the biting point or not giving enough clutch bite to counteract gravity. If you lift your clutch up too quickly or don't give it enough gas, you will stall (providing the gear is in first and not neutral) but since the car is in first gear, that would prevent the car from rolling back. At least that is my understanding since it is recommend to leave the car in first gear when parked facing uphill to prevent the car rolling downhill in case of handbrake failure.
***** sorry my bad it just looked like you were using clutch then gas.. my instructor learned me to drive this way in he's diesel and as soon as I got my petrol car I kept on stallng
I agree, your video's are very usefull! Only here in the Netherlands we are told we should NEVER use the pull-push steering technique... And we never use the hand brake, only when parked and on hill starts. And finally, we drive on the other side of the road of course. When I ever come to the UK, would you recommend to bring my left hand drive car or rent a right hand drive one? Again, thanks for your very helpfull video's! (By the way, excuse my bad English)
Hey Chris, just saying your videos have helped me a lot improve my driving and get a better understanding of it. also just wondering where you a natural driver when learning to drive and did you pass your test first time. Thanks again and Keep up the videos man :).
Always learn in a manual even if you intend to drive an Auto. I did and now I'm in a hire car for a week or two and it's a manual. It's all coming back to me and I'm not restricted to just Auto's.
I understand what you mean and what clutch control is but when it what is riding the clutch. I’m new at driving a manual car. Help! And I enjoy your videos... better than these American videos on how to drive stick lol
My driving instructor hasnt told me about this whole handbrake systen when waiting..DOES HE WANT ME TO FAIL?? i stuggle at traffic so bad i can't keep my feet on the clutch for to long so this makes sense so much and is helpful !!
I wish my instructor told me I can use the hand break to steady the car, set revs and find/hold the biting point until I’m ready!! Do you know how many red lights I’ve run and how I’ve dreaded traffic 🤦🏾♀️😩😩 thank you!!!!
I have already past but was in traffic on the motorway and found myself reving off and stopping fast all the time. also my car started to stall which started to overheat and well... you know. it cooled down though as the traffic didn't move and managed to get off but wanted to watch a video to refresh me since before this car i hadn't driven since i passed which was last year.
I feel the same way about manual cars. They seem a bit archaic for the present day. I've never driven an automatic by the way but will definitely go for one in the future.
Kev 9858 ikr same, I love manual cars cause they look better, weigh less and it's cool changing the gears your self but traffic in Pittsburgh makes me want to drive an automatic.
Same here. I'm in Québec so about 10 to 15% here are manual (and all petrol) and I just bought one after 5 years driving an automatic, I thought I would like it, (my whole family is French and according to them manual is THE way to go) but damn is it tedious to drive. It feels archaic and worthless, there's no fun to get anxious when you get stuck in traffic or when you see a steep hill and you know you're gonna have a bad time with stupid drivers behind you that kiss your bumper and get angry if you roll back even a little or if you stall - I've been driving manual for a week only so I'm sure it'll get better but I already miss my dear automatic that was a breeze to drive in any circumstances. I hope it'll get better... Plus there are no roundabouts here, only goddamn stop signs every 100m.
🌟 Subscribing helps us make more videos 🙂
Isn't setting the gas first and then taking out the clutch going to be much slower rather than doing it simultaneously? Or is that not the case?
Hi! It's almost at the same time :)
World Driving Do u have to put the hand brake up every time u have to stop? Also thank you for the vid it was very helpful!
Help ! Cant feel the biting point. im driving a 2010 Honda City Sedan with manual transmission. i practiced creeping with the clutch and gas pedals but just couldn't get that dip in the rear of the car. is there any other way for me to tell if im in the biting point already ?
Also can you make a video explaining why do manual transmission cars stall ?
you can also feel the car start to pull against the ebrake
If you ever get tired of being an instructor I’d bet you could land a gig as a documentary narrator pretty easily
Absolutely
doesn't he remind you of those narrations on Gordon Ramsay's kitchen nightmares (uk version)?
You are right
Ted talk 😁
I've already passed but I still watch your videos as you know there's always room for improvements :) keep it up!

***** sorry my bad it just looked like you were using clutch then gas.. my instructor learned me to drive this way in he's diesel and as soon as I got my petrol car I kept on stallng
So happy for this page ... Right Hand Drive🤞🏾
Thanks for your videos, they are great and I learn more about the use of the clutch biting point!!!
Hi! Appreciate you watching :)
I agree, your video's are very usefull! Only here in the Netherlands we are told we should NEVER use the pull-push steering technique... And we never use the hand brake, only when parked and on hill starts. And finally, we drive on the other side of the road of course. When I ever come to the UK, would you recommend to bring my left hand drive car or rent a right hand drive one? Again, thanks for your very helpfull video's! (By the way, excuse my bad English)
Hey Chris, just saying your videos have helped me a lot improve my driving and get a better understanding of it. also just wondering where you a natural driver when learning to drive and did you pass your test first time. Thanks again and Keep up the videos man :).
Really happy I came across this channel, so helpful gave it a 👍and subscribed, will definitely recommend:)
Cris I like your video's bro they taught me how to control the flush keep them coming
Yes, very useful video and thank you for the time and effort you put into making this video.
Thanks for watching :)
Always learn in a manual even if you intend to drive an Auto. I did and now I'm in a hire car for a week or two and it's a manual. It's all coming back to me and I'm not restricted to just Auto's.
Extra driving lessons with Chris! 🙏
I understand what you mean and what clutch control is but when it what is riding the clutch. I’m new at driving a manual car. Help! And I enjoy your videos... better than these American videos on how to drive stick lol
I wish you could teach me. I'm a nervous personh
Vanessa Namakula me too 😊💖
The brown ones are Chris’ favourite shoes
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with us. God bless you sir, your work is really appriciated.
My driving instructor hasnt told me about this whole handbrake systen when waiting..DOES HE WANT ME TO FAIL?? i stuggle at traffic so bad i can't keep my feet on the clutch for to long so this makes sense so much and is helpful !!
Hi Chris I'm from UG,your video has really been helpful and me and I wanted to get the biting point of a clutch if your coming out of a parking box.
Appreciate you watching :)
Wow I didn't know about the neutral but thanks God you've saved my life hopefully my petrol won't finish as fast as it did recently
So impressed with these videos! So helpful ☺️
Hi! Thanks for your nice comment and appreciate you watching our videos :)
love your videos and your smooth butter accent
I wish my instructor told me I can use the hand break to steady the car, set revs and find/hold the biting point until I’m ready!! Do you know how many red lights I’ve run and how I’ve dreaded traffic 🤦🏾♀️😩😩 thank you!!!!
I am still in Lerner I hop this video I very useful to me thanks for given such good video.
Grammar 100
very informative and useful guide for a beginner like me
Hi! Really pleased it helped ☺️
thanks much i had just completed my 3 hours actual driving lessons in an open area and your tutorial really helped me a lot!
This is exactly the video I need! Thank you!
your videos have helped me out a lot thanks
Great video! Easy on the ears :) I was wondering if you have a video on how accelerate/deccelerate before/after trafic lights? That'd be useful!
I have already past but was in traffic on the motorway and found myself reving off and stopping fast all the time. also my car started to stall which started to overheat and well... you know. it cooled down though as the traffic didn't move and managed to get off but wanted to watch a video to refresh me since before this car i hadn't driven since i passed which was last year.
Thank you so much for teach those golden things to me !!!
Thanks brother Chris❤️
I passed today after watching these types of video's thanks.
This really helped! Thank you mate.
Thanks I needed this, having big problems with this in my driving lessons.
I wished for a moment that if your ware my instructor that it would be nice and smooth. Thanks man.
Its traffic like this that makes me want an automatic car. Clutch sucks in slow traffic.
that's the most fun thing for me

I feel the same way about manual cars. They seem a bit archaic for the present day. I've never driven an automatic by the way but will definitely go for one in the future.
Kev 9858 ikr same, I love manual cars cause they look better, weigh less and it's cool changing the gears your self but traffic in Pittsburgh makes me want to drive an automatic.
Same here. I'm in Québec so about 10 to 15% here are manual (and all petrol) and I just bought one after 5 years driving an automatic, I thought I would like it, (my whole family is French and according to them manual is THE way to go) but damn is it tedious to drive. It feels archaic and worthless, there's no fun to get anxious when you get stuck in traffic or when you see a steep hill and you know you're gonna have a bad time with stupid drivers behind you that kiss your bumper and get angry if you roll back even a little or if you stall - I've been driving manual for a week only so I'm sure it'll get better but I already miss my dear automatic that was a breeze to drive in any circumstances. I hope it'll get better...
Plus there are no roundabouts here, only goddamn stop signs every 100m.
