I passed my driving test today 3rd time with 3 minors. You’re videos have been a huge help. Thank you!
Congratulations on passing. Always happy to hear the videos helped.
Great video...and pertinent talking points from learners, that were succinctly answered👍😀
I even gleaned a lot myself(ADI)
That’s good to hear, thanks .
Thanks for extra videos, do you encourage block changing when coming down gears?
Yes definitely I ask all my students to block change when going down gears.
@@JamesTravis coming down gears and knowing when to do it was rock hard at first. I had several instructors who didn’t explain clearly enough, 4 to 3 was the hardest. Then someone just said ‘move it down’ and it clicked
@@markdavidson9100 maybe I do a video on it. Bet there is lots of learners wanting to know.
Does it matter if it is a petrol or diesel car because I learned in a diesel car now I passed I have a petrol and I am struggling to pull off fast haha but is that just down to my car not being very powerful? Any advice is appreciated
Petrol cars are usually a bit quicker to respond. If your car is new to you, then practice moving off more in quiet roads to improve your coordination, then the speed will come e we other it.
I wanted to know that let’s I’m waiting at a junction with foot fully down on clutch while waiting for space assuming it’s flat space can I gently push on the accelerater or will that do something to my car
Yes you can.
i watched one of your other videos on clutch control and moving off however you used the handbrake to keep still. Is the use of handbrake just something you have to learn to leave over time or is it a different method?
If you need to use the handbrake, then use it. I tend to use it on hill starts or wanting to emerge out of busy roundabouts.
@@JamesTravis oh so to set of without it is the same method just obviously without the handbrake?
Hey Travis, how do i drive super slowly, for example in busy traffic or creeping up...
This video will help

But its about holding the clutch below the biting point
How would you have one foot on the clutch and one foot on the gas? You would move so I don’t understand because I need one foot on the break.
It's called riding the clutch. You have just enough biting point so the car does not roll backwards or forwards. The car needed a bit of help with gas. But you can practice this on a flat road with just clutch.
Put some trainers on better traction for foot power 😉 but this video was really helpful 😁
A good tip with the trainers
At 5:14 you weren’t pressing the break but you stayed still how? I don’t understand
Thats a good question. I had the clutch pedal just below the biting point which was enough pressure to hold the car still. You can practice this with a manoeuvre. Some instructors call it riding the clutch. Hope that makes sense.
Shot Travis..I was telling my instructor why I find it hard to take of using brake and clutch..I used the gas & clutch this time..he recogns that it's slower than finding the biting point using the gas & clutch when taking off..I agree, quarterlies..is that wrong, will it do any damage to the vehicle ..
There are different opinions on each way. But if you are on the brake whilst at the biting point, that will put lots of pressure on the clutch, which isn’t good. Hope that makes sense.
@@JamesTravis cool for that..I wanna let him know because my first driving lesson with him, he did say that the clutch is new & hard to press down on..Thanks again Travis
