I love how confidence Chris is in his ability to recover from stalls. I have a miniheart attack any time i do
😂😂
🥺 me
Mini heart attack! Just last week I stalled more than 4 times in traffic, can you imagine 😁😁😁😁
@@ndureone999ohhhh mannn i stalled 5 times trying to leave the parking lot 😭
I got my license 8 months ago after watching your videos thanks 😊
Appreciate you watching 🙂
After 4 of my driving tests cancelled, I finally managed to pass my driving test. Chris, your channel has helped me tremendously from back in 2019 when I first started to learn to drive. From clutch control, hill starts, the road signs, the parallel parking manoeuvres, every video with great detail on each topic helped me to develop a better understanding of driving.
Thank you very much for your videos Chris - and good luck to anyone else that is still due for their driving test. It’s certainly been a horrible last year and this year with the backlog, but eventually that big day will come.
Hi! Congratulations on passing your driving test. Really pleased that the videos helped a little and appreciate your nice comment. Keep safe on the road and enjoy it 👍
I finally passed and got my manual driving license 1 month + ago (passed on the 30th of April to be exact) thanks to your videos! Thanks Chris! From Singapore :)
Can I just say, a big shout out to Chris and his amazing voice videos. Please help him to help learners by buying him a virtual coffee ☕

THANKS CHRIS WHAT A WAY TO TEACH FOR LEARNER.ADMIRABLE..
Pleased you liked it 🙂
I just started learning to drive and went on a proper road for the first time yesterday. I did most of the stuff right but my starts and stops were really jerky. Especially at traffic lights I was either too slow at moving off or in a panic to get going faster I used to release the clutch too quick. Hopefully this video will help me now. Thanks.
This video might help czcams.com/video/Aixf66Ldc0I/video.html
Got into a big argument with my instructor last week and terminated the contract of which I didn't sign any papers, the guy was honestly making me feel very stupid, I spent 2 weeks learning about roundabouts yoh😔😔 he never for once gave me a compliment if I'm making progress or not he wanted to refer me to another instructor, guess that's their way of eating money ... I felt demotivated, have to find a new instructor... But thanks for your videos 🙏🙏😍
5:23 made me laugh. I’m a total noob at manual driving, and have been practicing like crazy and looking up all these videos. So far, I think the Brits are the best at teaching how to drive manual. Cheers from Austin, Texas.
Thanks for watching. You must be one of not very many learning to drive a manual in America 👍
@@worlddriving Lol - possibly. I found a great deal on a vehicle that I couldn’t let pass me by, especially with the way the economy is at this time. It was in San Antonio, Texas which is about an hour and half from Austin. I drove it back by myself. The beginning was eventful. I practiced for a few hours in empty parking lots before getting on the highway and heading back home. I’ve learned that the rest of the world is more familiar with manual driving compared to Americans. Only 10% of vehicles are made and/or driven here are manual. Now there’s vehicles with buttons. Manual driving may eventually be a lost art/skill here soon, figured now is the time to learn.
@Julie Hernandez I live in the US and have been driving a manual for years. I did learn in a different country. In America the only people who are interested in manuals tend to be car "enthusiasts" and most of them are more interested in "performance" driving and rev matching which in my opinion just over complicates downshifting. In normal sane driving you rarely need to do all this crazy downshifting. The obsession with rev matching baffles me because I have an old car that has had zero transmission problems for years and I don't do all this fancy hill-toe nonsense.
Good teaching
Got my license 2 years ago. Weekend / leisure driver only, so my experience build up is going bit slowly. Took some friends on a weekend road trip and .. made them carsick 💀 .. So yes, this video is very helpful! 😆 Cheers!
Pleased it helped 👍
Hi Chris I extremely inspired with your all driving video I learnt alot.
I need a favour can you please work on automatic car videos as much as you can especially how drive smoothly an automatic car.
Thanks and I pray that your channel get more success all the time💞💞💞💞
Thank you 🌹
Fantastic video
Thanks very much 🙂
Very well explained 👍
Thanks very much 🙂
Great video! Thank you. :)
Appreciate it :)
Chris thanks mate
Thanks Arthur 👍
I noticed that when you change gear from first to second on a busy roundabout you use see saw feet movement and when you change further from second to third you just release the clutch and than you add gas. I'll try that technique.
Brilliant mate
Thanks for watching 🙂
thank you excelent
Appreciate you watching 🙂
Please can you do some mock tests? Thank you.
I’ve been driving for nearly a year and I still can’t get used to my car as it keeps jerking most of the time when I raise the clutch slowly even in the correct gear that matches the speed I’m going at but when it jerks, it loses my confidence, momentum and builds my frustration level up. I had to keep going on a quiet road or in a quiet car park to get used to my car especially it’s a 2.0 petrol and it feels like I feel abandoned from driving.😔 it’s alright once I got going and didn’t have to slow down as often depending on the traffic. I had to keep watching the video of how to change gears smoothly and more clutch control and it helps.😔
Thanks to your video I passed my driving test 1st time with 2 minors in the 7th November
Congratulations on passing your driving test. That's a fantastic achievement.
Keep up the safe driving habits, and enjoy the freedom of the open road. Well done!
Thank you so much 😭😭😭🚘
Thank youuu
Thanks for watching 👍
nice
Got myself a car to practice in as I wait for test dates to open up. It feels like driving a Kangaroo so hopefully these techniques help 😌
Can you do thinks to know about driving theory test please I haven't done it but I'd like to know what to expect and know
I really struggle with the gas then clutch bite method. My own car doesn’t have a rev meter so i don’t know how much gas I’m adding and end up kangarooing the clutch or stalling. Any tips please? I’m sick and tired of moving off slowly
@World Driving Hi Chris, please do a comprehensive Automatic driving video.
When is it appropriate to downshift gears when coming to a stop or is that only if you are slowing down but not to a complete stop?
Hi! This video might help czcams.com/video/8vGQEJOWJkk/video.html
0:35 no
1:01 just mantain the RPM above 1100 if you have a less powered car that want to stall, above 150Hp there is no problems at all even with only the clutch pedal
or if you want to use only the clutch just release it if the RPM goes down to 950
3:55 use a lot of clutch for engine brake, if you weak the clutch disk it will cost more, but if you wear off the brakes or if they are hot because used like a noob for a long time they will not ... brake at all in the right moment and you will cause an accident
you can simply drive withtout brakes, slowdown with FIRST GEAR and just use the brakes like a parking brakes at full stop ^^
4:59 the best way to drive is barefoot (with socks of course ^^) you will sense the pedals at 100%
5:16 NO is the opposite ! foot in front of the accellerator so you can "heel and toe" for downshifts
in the video you will NOT brake smootly because you are in front of the brake and you will apply too much force even for small decellerations and you will NOT be smootly on accellerator because too far away
5:51 again, you can use 1th gear to brake and just dont stop so you can pass later respect those cars but still moving (at this speeds there is necessity of braking at all, if you panic you simply cant drive because unable)
6:44 pls, dont change gears like that, is simply wrong and potencially dangerous ( if your hand slip you will not clutch brake if you need to do so, just PUSH the lever with your palm)
because the video is about smoothness, not fuel, mantain the change of gear at 2500-3000 RPM where the torque is better (aka the engine deliver more traction)
i assume, because my car is a BMW Z4 170Hp and i never tried a FORD, i dont know the model of the video ... so just stay high RPM, in the case of video ... let me guess ... 3000 RPM because seems diesel or GPL because low "max rpm"
9:38 1 point for the video
there, is a smooth use of steering, just lock aim , dont counter steer for every little movements, is not rally after all ^^
10:50 just release the steering wheele, at that low speed there is no danger for instant understeer and you can place the left hand on the gear lever so you can change gear if some pedestrian is in the way (blind spot)
video too long for some basic moves, still beneficial for rookies
a little too over complicated to explain basic moves
VOTE: 6.5
like indeed
Hi, is it necessary to shift the gear into neutral when turning to left or right downhill using the brake pedal Or is it possible to move downhill in first gear together with the slight brake? Is there any video to watch this?
Hi! Don't use neutral while the cars moving or it'll free-wheel (coast) and speed up. Which gear depends on how steep the hill is and how sharp the turn is. 1st if it's steep and sharp and use the brake :)
@@worlddriving thank you😊
When do you press gas when you trying to move?? You starting to press gas at the biting point for clutch or before you even release your foot of the clutch??
Gas then biting point :)
My foot is small so it either hovers on the air for the break or the clutch
Been driving my car just over a week now and while I can reliably get it moving, I drive like a granny because my gear changes still take a long time and if I try to speed them up I get very jerky and accidently burned the clutch a little bit a couple times trying to do that...
👍👍
how to edit monitor RPM on this video?
5:16 please tell this to my (former) driving instructor!
I think sales for manuals in the uk should stay a little abit longer
Why u say that? Are they stopping them? I'll never drive an automatic.
Im looking at getting a 54 reg car. Will there be any difference in driving that compared to a 66 reg car?
It may not add gas for you when releasing the clutch so be sure to use the gas pedal when moving off. If it is older and has more miles the clutch may be a bit more worn resulting in the biting point being higher up than in the 66 plate car. Less technology in it. Depends which car it is, how many miles it has on it, how well it had been maintained and driven etc. Do some practice runs in a quiet area such as an industrial estate on a Sunday or something to get a feel for the car before going on busier roads I'd say. Happy driving Rhys 😃
@@jgreen8339 the car is 54 reg toyota.
just rev match your down shifts, so much easier. Clutch in, down shift, blip the throttle, ease off the clutch.
dear chris in my car there is no any RPM meter.so how can know the bitten point?
Hi! The biting point is found with the clutch. In 1st gear, slowly raise the clutch until you feel the rear of the car dip slightly and the engine sound change. 👍

What shoes are those? I'd like to get a pair.
They're extra special driving shoes 😂
Show us difference between petrol and diesel
Yes please. I’ve gone from learning in a diesel to petrol and I can’t do stop/start smoothly and struggle so much in bill starts 😭😭
Does anyone know the type of car being used in the video
Hi! It's a Ford Fiesta 👍
Do you find diesels are easier at pulling off than petrol?
Yes they are.
Your voice reminds me of the guy in Get Indie Gaming.
How to drive in speed breaker smoothly
can i drive on bare foot?
2:17 how to come off clutch
What is biting point?
It's the point when during moving off you release the clutch pedal until you feel the car tending to move forward (or backward in reverse)
9:51 that seems like a Nissan Micra
You're correct!
Very few people drive manual cars... In traffic auto is the future. Manual cars tires you out in traffic. It's more for racing and rallies and stuff. For fun not for driving in traffic.
9:52 An Audi? :D
You bought a new car Nissan?
Well spotted. Just tried it out 🙂
Can you tell me the shoes you are wearing? 🤣
Fred Perry. I need some new ones actually 😂
Having lessons at the moment, current instructor has zero patience for mistakes and will get genuinely angry and the smallest mishap, affects my enthusiasm to learn and engage in the lesson, got my test tomorrow and absolutely bricking it 😂
Hey! As your test approaches, it's natural to feel nervous, but try to stay focused and confident. Remember the progress you've made and the skills you've learned. Take a deep breath, trust in your abilities, and approach the test with a calm mindset. You've got this! Good luck on your test, and I'm rooting for your success!
👍
