Thank you so much for this video!!! I was having major issues earlier today attempting hill starts and kept stalling my car. I got very frustrated and wanted to quit. When I got back home I found this video and watched it a few times. I took a deep breath and went to go try again. I used the tips from this video and successfully got out of my driveway, which is an incline. I then went to find the steepest hills around here where I knew there'd be no traffic to worry about. I was able to successfully start from every hill that I stopped on and did not stall the car once. Thank you again!!!
+DanChalueJr We're glad the video helped you - well done for becoming a 'Hill Start Master!'
I think this is by far the best video for hill start i have seen
This is one of the most clean and informative video on uphill driving, thanks
Failed by test last time so I do refreshers today! My local instructor tell me to take a deep breath and this helps! My instructor bring me to several hills to refresh my memory. When you don’t get enough bite then lift the feet a bit more and you will go. I also practise some junctions/traffic lights on a hill because I am weak at that. I have having my test again in 2 weeks time. Your videos are great aid to me!
Perfected my hill starts using these instructions ... done it over 15 times now and not failed ... brilliant video 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
My test is next month on the 5th,i have faith im going to pass😊this channel realy helped me i learnt alot
The best video explaining up hill start👍👍👍
Thank you so much for your help 👍👍
Learning all the steps, and understanding what each step does, will be intriguing for me. My instructor only taught me to keep the footbrake on, lift the clutch to the biting point, release footbrake, and keep lifting clutch whilst applying gas. Yes, even for hill starts. He didn't teach me the handbrake method, but I can now work on it with my Fiat Punto 60 Torino from 2006.
I may not become your full-time viewer, but I appreciate every bit on info you gave me.
Vikingboar I can understand why most instructors teach that way. Handbrake method involve good coordination of steps which could be difficult for beginners. Not to mention, it means they have to stir with one hand as the other hand is used for releasing the handbrake. Imagine if the situation is at the intersection or roundabout or u-turn. They have to learn how to stir with one hand before they can use the handbrake method, especially when applied in situations I described previously.
Will try this later, although my car has an Eletronic Handbrake which gives him the Hill Start Assist, I still struggle with Hill Starts, your video is helpful and different to the others, because you dont only show what to do, you actually show the common mistakes and I see what mistake im doing, im gonna try on a steep hill with ur tips to see if I find better =) Tks again.
It's really good learning for me. Thank you for the videos. Garcias!
Thanks for the video! I live in the U.S. and very few people have manuals. It's been quite difficult to get some good instruction. This video was just what I needed.
+Thomas Woelki Thanks for the comment - its great to hear that our videos are enjoyed in other countries!
Thomas Woelki Same
Yes! These UK instructional videos are the best! I'm an American too, and yes it's hard to get proper instruction on manual drive if anything at all. I live in NYC of all places, and I struggled to find a place that teaches manual drive. I only found TWO places out of the whole FIVE boroughs an Long Island. I still did not get all the instruction that I needed. When I go to American-based instructional videos, there's so much arguing in the commentary section over the manual drive technique which confuses me as to which technique is best. But who will argue with the UK pros?! I really enjoy this step-by-step instruction!
+DeliciaTrini Thanks for appreciating our videos! There are often several ways to achieve something, and it's often personal preference as to which way is best. It's not really worth arguing over...
I'm also American, though I grew up long ago when manual transmission operation was still taught in schools. I've pointed my daughter to your videos, I consider that classic British approach to be the most relaxing and controlled way to operate a manual vehicle in an urban, hilly environment. Many Americans think ill of handbrake starts because they do not practice them and only do them when in a high stress situation. When you do them regularly you become accostumed to the handbrake as an additional axis of control.
Thanks so much!
thanks alot for uploadiing such a great helpful video cheers
Just the video (and the channel) that i need. Clean - valuable - logical - detailed info. Thank you so much indeed.
great video, you have outlined nearly all of the problems that I have!
+Ben Duong Thanks! Just keep practicing 👍🏼
Perfect teacher 👍😍👌
Best videos ever ...
Great video! My practical test will on 24th of may and this vídeos helping me a lot!
+Robson Luzirao Keep practicing, and good luck!
+Advance Driving School thank you!
really perfect video thanku
Good one!!
Thank you so much for the video. Just passed my driving test. Was struggling with hill start.
Very well done! 👌🏼🚙😃
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool Thank you😊
This is so helpful
Thank you
My instructor never taught me the gas before clutch method, so I learned without handbrake and it has been rough when using hire cars. I have found that I find the bite and slam on the gas. I'll try this next time
Just passed my test and I'm still not 100% on hills hahahahaha uh oh
same
Francis Olololv some things like this I think you just have to pick up on through real world experience to get better at it. Doing lessons once a week or whatever doesn't get you all the experience you need in certain areas like this unless you live in a town on a hill like me
⁸
Hopefully got the hang of it now 😊
It's really helpful video... thank you soooo much
thanks
Very good video
Thanks
I cant seem to get the hang of hill starts i ALWAYS stall! its so embarrassing especially when there is traffic behind you! this video wil l help me loads next time i start on a hill
Good luck! If you haven't already try watching 'Mastering Clutch Control' for a few more hill start tips.
Thanks, I will do!
There’s a sluice bridge with a hill start and t junction with busy traffic on a test route. It’s not easy when people let you go when your not ready. Would rather go when it’s all clear.
Yes - we get that too on lessons! I understand that the other driver is just trying to be nice, but it then it puts more pressure on the pupil! If you find yourself in that position again, just take as long as you need - as it’s much more likely to stall if we rush.
Very nice video! What is the proper way of operating the clutch? With heel planted on the floor or using the whole leg? Since the clutch pedal in my car (Splash) rests a bit high unlike other cars I am not able to put my heel on the floor and pivot. When I searched on the net I found most people use their whole leg (without heel touching the floor) to operate the clutch. Could you please advise? Thanks a lot in advance!
+pn genmail Just do whatever feels more comfortable and gives good control. I prefer to keep my heel on the floor, but pupils with smaller feet have to lift their whole leg up instead. So there is no right or wrong answer, it just depends on the car and the size of your feet!
Thanks a lot for the quick reply! I was confused. Now it is clear. Highly appreciate....
1) what happens when you are at Bite point and apply break at slope. Does it stall since it has no Power ( same logic of handbreak described above) I ask this cause at my place, there is lot of traffic and distance between each car is very less unlike in UK.So handbreak is no no unless the slope is steep.
+bratvishal Just use the technique you prefer. The engine will only stall if you use too much bite point with the brake, so be gentle with the clutch. One tip if you want to use the handbrake quickly somewhere is to keep the button pressed in while you lift and then drop the handle - good for steep hills!
You forgot the third method, heel and toe. You hold the brake with your foot, clutch in, 1st gear. Hold brake with the ball of your foot (with the toes), then tilt your leg so your heel reaches the gas pedal. Give it gas to increase rpms, then release the clutch smoothly until it bites, then release brake pedal. It works similar to handbrake except you use the regular brake with heel and toe technique. You have to do some footwork yoga yes, and on some vehicles it is more difficult than others, as well as how big or small your feet are.
+Mario Paul Thanks for the explanation! In the U.K. we don’t normally use this method, and generally use the handbrake to hold the car still. However whichever method the driver prefers is fine as long as it works! 👍🏼
With all that effort, you're better off just using an automatic tbh.
Omg I can't practice enough 😭
Hi, I've been having some trouble moving uphill. There is a roundabout where you have to sort of go uphill first, so when I try to drive off, I stall the car. Could you please give me some tips on how to improve this.
+Rochelle Hill starts on roundabouts can be tricky, as there is less time to move away before more traffic approaches. If the car is stalling then you must be using too much clutch bite or too little engine revs - or maybe both problems. Practice somewhere quiet until you feel more confident 👍🏼
Can you make a video on how to park on a high steep inclined plane with small area to park.
We don't have anywhere hilly to park near us, but this video might be helpful: ruclips.net/video/_TVoIOo-a1Y/видео.html
Very usefull vedio ,
I live in a tropical 2 seasons city, so there is no snow. I am concerned with a slippery ground road such as clay surface. When starting off in such surface, flat or uphill, is there any chance of getting wheelspin when we start off in 1st gear ? I think as long as we release the clutch slowly while putting some gas gently, we can avoid wheelspin. Why some people choose to start in 2nd in such slippery surface (snow) to avoid wheelspin ? If the car is a diesel it will work, but for average petrol car, I am not sure.
Can you explain ?
+Lex Soft There is a chance of wheel spin when pulling away on a slippery surface, but it doesn't really matter as long as the car gets going. The theory behind starting in 2nd is to reduce the torque output to the wheels for a softer, more gentle start - as this allows the tyres to grip more. In practice this is only needed in terrible conditions where the car might actually struggle to move. We rarely get snow where we live, so we don't need this technique very often, but I can confirm that it does work in petrol cars as there is so little friction to the ground the engine won't stall!
I know the effect of much torque on griping ability of the tyres; so people choose 2nd gear for that reason.
But at 1st gear, by releasing the clutch slowly and throttling gently with care, the engine power will be transferred gradually to the load, hence can prevent wheel spin. I am not sure my Nissan Sunny 1997 can start in 2nd gear even in a flat surface.
But thanks for replying.
Btw would you do a video to show wheel spin ? :) Ah...I am quite sure you wouldn't, because it can cause damage on several components of your car. :)
1:08 is it okay to do the other way around? Lifting the clutch to the biting point first before applying accelerator.
It is possible to do it that way if you have really good clutch control - but we recommend ‘gas then clutch’ as the extra engine power reduces the chance of stalling if too much clutch bite is used.
Hi Richard, I get to hear it is toxic to hold the car on a hill using the clutch right, if you press down the clutch down does it wear then is it necessary to do so when in 1st gear
Who is Richard? We need to slip the clutch a little to pull away smoothly - but should avoid doing this unnecessarily on hills as it would overheat and wear the clutch. This video explains further: Never Do This In A Manual Car: ruclips.net/video/6qeFe3ZktZs/видео.html
do I need to apply accelerator before lifting the clutch up while changing gear
+Nikhil thakur No, as the engine will rev up and make the car jump forward when the clutch bites. Try to apply the accelerator at the same time as the clutch starts to bite.
Nice clutch burnout @2:05
+Hippzyhopp Beats The one @5:00 was the really good one... it felt bad to do that to a car on purpose!
MThomas He thought I used too many engine revs before biting the clutch!
Hi what should i do if the handbrake cant sustain the backward roll of the car i need to heel toe but i guess some people dont .maybe my hand brake needs new one? Or .... Maybe i need to heel toe or perfectly?
+Kent Patrick Parilla It sounds like you need to get your handbrake fixed! You shouldn’t have to do anything like ‘heel toe’ to pull away on a hill. How do you park on a hill btw?
Advance Driving School hi thank you. Im only 1 month old driver. Almost daily so my heel toe is not advanced or so. Also i park on slope with first gear engaged because hand brake will hold only on less steep slopes i guess and ive always put on my mind that handbrake cant lock the car on steeper slopes or maybe i got the wrong idea because i got a honda 1997 model but is still carburetted so maybe the parts are also older (INCLUDING THE HANDBRAKE) than 1997 cause ive researched that 1997 model uses direct fuel and not carburetor. thank you
+Kent Patrick Parilla It doesn’t matter how old your car is, the handbrake should be able to hold it safely on any hill - so I’d definitely get that fixed. Good luck on the roads!
i drive on hill 1st gear car is struggling and it is between 500mph to 1500mph if i changed 2nd gear would my car stoll. i could see people were watching. i was feeling scar and i did not change gear. car waa making noise and struggling. my scar is if there is any hazard and i have to stop in emergency on hill and i have to stop compelety and start again my car will roll back? uphil and downhill any advice please thanks.
This video has a few tips: How To Drive On Steep Hills: ruclips.net/video/JeXzjRWfqAw/видео.html
Hi , I need help . On my driving exam track , I had to do a blind turn to the left and there was a steep incline quickly after the turn . When I tried to press gas on first gear , my car overrevved and black smoke started to come out of engine . My speed was slow when I approached the hill . How do I handle this ??
Black smoke doesn’t sound normal - I’d get your car checked out!
Advance Driving School Actually I started off quite slow for the ascent since I had to make the blind turn to the left . The car didn't pick up the pace in the 1st gear on the climb and RPM climbed to 5500 but with very slow speed
Advance Driving School Also , how do I climb a steep hill in case I have to start the car from the bottom . The car model is Honda City ZX from 2007
That sounds like the clutch is slipping. Once that starts there is no alternative but to have a new one fitted :-(
Is this what they teach in advance driving school??
Leave these techniques to beginner driving school and teach some advance technique like Heel toe hill start etc..
Our name is 'Advance Driving School', as we aim to improve, or 'advance' our driving skills. We are not teaching 'advanced driving' though, as there are many other separate organisations that do that. However, if you have a look at our playlists we have arranged them in order, from 'basic skills' right up to 'expert skills' to help you find what you need easily.
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool : As your name suggests you seems like a school to advance drivers.. But anyway maybe I'm wrong..
But it's a good Idea to make a video which starts with basic driving skills and ends with advance driving skills..
Keep going and excuse me if I said you in a wrong way..
Abhishek i
when changing gear my gear shift are not smooth some times I get forward or some time I get backward jerks usually in 1st gear or changing into down gear.please give some valuable advice as it would be very kind of you.and I watched your when to change gear video I am not confirmed when to change into second gear from 1st.
+Nikhil thakur My advice would be to do everything slower - especially when lifting the clutch back up. I change into 2nd at about 10mph usually, but on a hill or when a more power is needed I'd change at 15.
tq.. tomorrow i will try it.. bcoz in malaysia it is 3 am
+ajay cruz Ha - maybe get some sleep first 😉
omg my test is on jan 17 and im so scared i hate hills
+Rohina I Just practice loads of hill starts until it you're a hill start master!
I mean 19 but Thankyou I'm trying
how did it go? you made it?
I failed lol
Rohina Oh, shit, that sucks... keep practicing and you'll be fine next time! Good luck :)
What about automatic car?? How does it differ from manual
Automatic cars are much easier, since they won’t roll backwards or stall. Just push the accelerator and off you go!
My stupid examination cars need to lift the clutch so high then only reach the biting point... Therefore I failed the hill start as I thought they already reached the biting point...
+Insuspected Rulling The clutch biting point can vary a lot between cars, and it takes a little while to get used to whenever driving an unfamiliar car. Bad luck on your test, keep practicing for next time!
May i ask,when stopping at roundabout,and without using handbreak,how to prepare the clutch and go? i usually release the clutch slowly until the car shaking while my right foot holding the break,and when it is clear to go,my right foot will press the gas.But this technique sometimes okay and sometimes the car stall.Can you tell me the right way?
+Syafiq Hanif We would usually use the handbrake to keep the car still (as your left hand has nothing else to do!) and then your right foot can press the gas before you release the clutch. This way you will have plenty of power to pull away with, and the car won't stall.
if not by using handbreak?because i was stopping on roundabout so i want to make it quick.
+Syafiq Hanif If you are doing a hill start without the handbrake you can't rush, as you don't have much engine power to use. If you need to use the handbrake quickly just keep the button pressed in - then your right foot is free to rev the engine, and you can pull away quickly without stalling.
its a good method but can damage your car
The clutch is far more durable than you think, and won’t be damaged unless you hold it at the biting point for too long. Our clutch life is always at least 100,000 miles 👍🏼
Good luck if your manual car has a foot parking brake...

Avoid hand brakes n use foot pedal
Why avoid the hand break - your left hand doesn’t have anything else to do?
Advance Driving School You are right. Safety first. Fanciness or coolness is irrelevant in this case, esp for beginners. The risk is too big when using footbrake pedal in real situation when the traffic is busy.
However, it's useful for drivers to know all available methods for hill start, which are more appropriate for certain situations.
Hills and roundabouts I absolutely hate
Where we live there are loads of both - so we have to do plenty of practice!
Lmao u call that a hill?
LV sA Beginners should learn from easy situation. Only after they master the basic, they can proceed to more difficult/steeper hill.

+soom986 I know they're not ideal for driving - but they are comfy! Something with thinner soles would probably be better...
