How to do clutch control? It's a common question If you're learning to drive a manual / stick shift car. One challenge to overcome will be to master clutch control in traffic uphill. It's quite common for a new driver on their driving lessons to worry about rolling back into a vehicle behind or stalling.
In this video we look at how to do hill starts and use clutch control to creep slowly in stop, start traffic. You'll probably cover this on one of your driving lessons but hopefully this video will help you visualise what to do and help you remember what to do.

stalling at a green light on an uphill builds character
I've been driving stick for awhile. Uphill traffic still gives me anxiety
Ino Torres try parallel parking uphill and in reverse! 🤦🏻♂️
@@jayrusty2012 it's a bit easier imo than live traffic.
@@jayrusty2012 it's actually a piece of cake unless it's a really tight spot or if the owner is in either parked vehicles.
Use that ebrake bro.
It's mainly just annoying. You have to get really good at engaging the clutch without gas and being able to tell when it wants to move forward.
I'm from the Netherlands, flat as a pancake, and now living in Ireland. Dutch people are generally bad at driving uphill since we literally never have to do it. I live in Ireland now and those hills make my sweat come straight out of my arse. This video helps a lot!!! I even use parking brake on the smallest hills 😂
So gas first, then release clutch to biting point before releasing hand break. Got it, thanks
Dan X you can release Clutch to biting point and hold it there, release hand brake you see it moving a little and apply accelerator a little to support the movement
@@miloworld1070 would that method save fuel over a large amount of time as you dont have the gas on as long
@@gamesmaster1060 I'm not sure about fuel efficiency but I do feel quickly applying the gas after the biting point is the right way. I have tried to follow the tip suggested in the video and have to admit it's quite tough to master(keeping the right foot ever so lightly still on the gas then lifting the clutch with the left foot to the biting point) and yes I'm someone who learnt on a diesel car that shoots forward with only half clutch.
Also I feel this method will change how one starts their vehicle be it on a plain ground or on a hill. On plains I find one can pull away without any gas. Gas after bite is applicable to all situations.
Today first day of my life driving..i press acceleration race to 5000 rpm mistakely cos of confuse.. thanks to clutch .. or else it might end up in drain
@@mandeep1413 Diesels are much easier in that respect of clutch before gas. I learned in a diesel. Petrols stall easier but its not to say that you cant do it, because you can, but there is less leeway so some may find it harder on petrols at first.
I've picked up the bad habit of holding the footbrake on a hill instead of applying the handbrake, then just before moving off, i find the biting point and then off the footbrake to the gas to pull away, and thats on a petrol.
Always seem to rush things when there’s cars behind me up my arse so scared to roll and hit them 😂
Especially in Dublin 😂
Just yesterday I stalled my car on a speed hump that's uphill......... So stressful 😬
Had the worst stalling experience on that same crystal Palace hill! It terrifys me everytime! Thanks for this.
Exactly! The crystal palace Hill is a nightmare
I recognise that hill as well. It’s horrible. The hill where crystal. Palace station is also gets me panicky. It’s so steep. 😩
You guys all live in same town lol

@@leslie7872 Small world as they say
I passed!!! Took three attempts and obscene amounts of money but I finally passed. Thank you for your amazing videos.
Some driving instructors should learn a thing or 2 from. You
Alpha Redeye its not about the instructor its about you.
fuck my driving instructor, had to relearn by my own
I would be so confused at how he explains the amount of pressure you need to put on the pedals, raise by the thickness of a pound coin? Wtf is that supposed to mean
@@MadMaxJuggernaut How thick is a coin? Not so much really? It means that you should raise the pedal just a very little
@@MadMaxJuggernaut He means pulling away from the clutch by very few millimetres.
Just passed my driving test today, these videos were great help!
Ballistic Ape well done my fellow human 👍
And still are after passing my practical test :D Congrats on passing, see you on the roads
Ayyy same! Congrats
Ballistic Ape
How many classes you taken?
Alia Haider I had about eight 1 hour lessons
This morning when I was driving to work I came upon a hill and I kept stalling for about 30 seconds, which felt like an eternity LOL. Thank you for explaining it as simply as you can, I appreciate it.
Honestly, this is probably one of the best clutch control in traffic videos, explained better than my instructor. Thank you!
Thankyou so much Chris, I’ve been on such a long journey with my driving! I literally started taking lessons in the summer 2016 and have been faced with challenges, like not believing in my self and having anxiety on the road....and I just wanna say because of your videos I passed today first time with 7 minors, the day before my theory ran out. Your videos helped me through this tough time and I just want to say Thankyou so much Chris :’)
Help me out too, in Dubai hard for me to pass 🥲
as someone who lives in the states, i love how detailed these are.
Passed my practice test a while ago, but still watch this videos. Keep it up
I've just passed on my driving test first time in Manchester. I'm Brazilian and have never driven before moving to Uk, this channel really helped me specially with the mock tests and show me tell me questions. I know you've heard this a lot, but your channel is the best one for drivers. Congrats!!
Hi! Thanks for your nice comment and congratulations to you. Keep up the safe driving and thanks for watching our videos 🙂
I'm in Canada, and have been driving for 14 years now, but it wasn't until last week I finally bought a manual transmission vehicle. These videos have been a complete life saver! Thank you for your clarity.
I’m from Canada as well! I passed my exam on an automatic transmission (that’s how I learned), and took an extra 2h lesson to learn manual.
Although it was great introduction, 2h is not enough and I found myself re-learning manoeuvres because of clutch control.
These videos also saved my life!
Hi guy's i passed my test last friday with 1 minor. I'd like to say thanks as your videos were a godsend keep up the great work you do!! Again thank you :)
Hi! Congratulations on passing your driving test. One fault is brilliant. Appreciate you watching our videos. Keep up the safe driving :)
Thank you so much for your videos. Your videos helped me pass my driving test a year ago.
Hi! Pleased they helped 🙂
Same here.
As a learner THIS is my current challenge,
I passed today with 7 minors. I want to thank you for all the help you've given me, I've spent ages going over your videos, and I wouldnt have passed without them! Again THANK YOU
Hi! Thanks for your nice comment and congratulations to you. Must have had a good instructor. Keep up the safe driving and appreciate you watching our videos :)
From Canada, bought a new Ford Focus manual car. Your videos helped me so much! Thanks soo much! :D
Hi! Thanks for watching from Canada 🙂
WORLDS BEST DRIVING VIDEO CHANNEL !! Watch everything you feel you are unsure of
Thanks, Chris for this video very helpful and informative. Definitely know now how to control a car using the clutch but your right its practice. Practice makes perfect
Your voice is so calm i could listen for hours i pass my driving licence for more than a year but still prefer avoid uphills even if i need do double driving🙈 the drivers sometimes are assholes when they stop so close behind you even you have sticker that you new driver so this stressing me even more to not roll back
Wow, the quality of these videos has really gone up.
This is a fantastic channel not only for learners but also existing drivers who want to better their driving skills
These videos are the best on CZcams! They are so helpful, I'm watching them over and over again and it really helps to almost feel like I'm getting experience driving.
I can feel the the passion from this video, you really want to help.
I passed my test last year and I don't think I could have without your help thank you man 😘 And I won't stop watching your videos ever 😂 I always love to learn more from you Seriously the best channel on CZcams ❤️
GadgetHacks I
Have you stopped watching his videos
@@Mozzie7920 Still going 😆
@@GadGetHackss no way hahaha, I respect the effort to do that when you’ve already been driving for 4/5 years
I learned a lot from this lesson on hill starts and clutch control, i will put this into practice so that i can get rid of my fear to stall on hills. thanks Chris, great lesson. i like your voice by the way, it has a very calming effect on me, thanks again.
Thank u Chris. From your guide I am able to drive my car without any stall. Hope to see more great upcoming videos of driving again.😊😊😊😊
Passed my test first time today thanks to these videos!! Thank you so much 😊😊
Passed my driving test today. These videos have been very helpful and played a big part in my success. Thanks.
I’m an American who owns a manual Ford Focus, and your videos have helped me learn and apply these techniques. Thanks a lot!
That's really good to hear. Thanks for watching 👍
Is the Ford Focus a good car? I'm thinking of buying one.
Listening to all of the driving tips regarding your surroundings honestly made me realize I'm already becoming a better driver (on the road and on a manual) because I plan ahead for everything I do.
Your video tutorial helps me a lot, before I'm struggling everytime I got on a traffic or slow moving traffic I always get stall but after I watched your videos and apply all the technique and I understand.
The most soothing voice ever accompanied by romantic music in the intro. Damnit.
In my country, people don't keep their distance from the car in front of them so it's a bit scary to drive in heavy traffic up a hill or on an inclined road. I wish my country had a more demanding program to apply for a driver's license. Keeping your distance is something that to me is common sense. Your driving is exceptional.
Hi! Keeping a safe distance from the vehicle in front is important, not only for safety but it also means you'll avoid harsh or over-braking and an overall less stressful way of driving.
There's always more to learn and hopefully improve on.
Best driving channel on youtube.
Thanks mate.
Very useful tips as for new driver it's very scary in uphill especially with traffic.
I passed my driving test couple of months back in the first try, your videos have helped me a lot. Still watching them.
Thank you so very much for this. I recently bought my first manual car and I've been trying to get hill starts. I've been practicing up my driveway but it has always been hit or miss until this video. I'm happy to say it's more hits than misses now and I have ABSOLUTELY NO PLACE being this emotional but mannn... I appreciate this so much.
Passed my test on Tuesday and all of your videos helped so much! Thanks Chris
Hi! Really pleased they helped a bit. Thanks for watching and congratulations on passing your driving test :)
Passed my driving test, your videos were a big help!!
Thanks from India. Your Clutch Control video series helped me a lot and I won't stop watching your videos ever.
I recently passed my driving test which brings me to this video.
I learned to drive in a diesel car but I purchased a petrol car for my first which is a bit learning experience because I'm not used to a petrol car. I am a bit scared of hills especially when it comes to stop - start traffic because I've never done it before but after watching this video I feel more confident on the thought of tackling a hill out on the road on a busy day. So I wanted to thank you for your amazing videos as they helped me passed my test in the first place :)
Passed 4 months ago, still watching your videos!!! :P
I am absolutely thankful to your highness because i was in real trouble whenever I went to uphill places to murree hills.Now I am absolutely confident . This time I enjoyed my driving uphill
I passed my test a year ago today... 4th time but at least I did it😂😅 I used to watch these videos while I was learning and I still watch them now a year on! Your voice and the way you make your videos are fantastic and so helpful!👍🏼
Hi Chris, ive watched almost all your videos before taking my practical driving test here in Northumberland and passed first time I just wanted to say your videos helped a lot, i never even took any driving lessons as your videos were enough for me and this proves it, thanks for the great content!
Hi! Congratulations on passing your driving test first time. Appreciate you watching our videos. Pleased you found them useful :)
passed my driving test this week and just wanted to say thanks. Your videos helped out so much! :)
Hi! Thanks for your comment and congratulations to you. Appreciate you finding our videos. Keep up the safe driving :)
You have a calm voice, which makes it easier to understand.
Hi Chris just passed my test today:) your videos help a lot with it thanks
This helped tremendously. I woke up this morning and hit some hills near my area to practice hill starts. This technique is great !
Really pleased it helped 🙂
I'm glad I found your videos! I wish my instructor had your voice, so calming. Failed my test two weeks ago 😫 going for the second one tmrw. I never got to test drive again and I just found your videos today. You've been very helpful. Thanks a lot. I'm from Fiji btw 😊
Hi! Thanks for your nice comment and for watching from Fiji. Hope your test goes well :)
Hands down the best uphill clutch control tutorial on CZcams. 🙌
You’ve been so helpful mate, one time I stepped on the break peddle on a hill to let someone cross, the car stopped and starting it was a huge problem. That was my biggest embarrassment in a car
wow man, your instruction easy to understand
I passed my driving test 4 years ago but I still watched your videos especially about clutch control. They're very helpful. Thank you for all you do.
Hi! Appreciate your nice comment 🙂
Amazing run-through on clutch control on a hill! I’m learning a lot with your videos!
Cheers, from Canada!
i was about to get in fatal accident ..nobody told me we need to use parking brake when move up hill. thanks Man God bless you
This is totally the challenging part when driving
Passed my test yesterday at Borehamwood with 2 minors. would honestly not have been able to do it with out WorldDriving videos! Thank you so much for putting in all the effort to make these videos.
Hi! Congratulations to you and thanks for your nice comment. I'm sure you would have still been fine without the vids, but it's really good of you to say. Keep up the safe driving and see you on the road :)
I like the fact that you have been patience in every bit of your explanation which makes your video unique and splendid
Appreciate you watching 🙂
Half way through and I felt compelled to subscribe, hit the thumbs up, and comment that using slow motion and commentary to break the motions down was a brilliant decision and really makes it clear what is happening. Thanks for posting.
Hi! Thanks for watching :)
I passed my driving test yesterday, these videos were such a huge help, thanks a bunch.
Hi! Thanks for watching and congratulations on passing your driving test. Keep safe on the road :)
Very good video! I first passed my test in an automatic so ive found it harder to get back into using a clutch. I passed in a manual in january this year, but I do in situations such as stuck in traffic on a hill struggle with clutch control. Thanks for your time
Hi! Really pleased you found it helpful :)
I’m in Canada and picking up my first manual car in 3 days. My brother, who has a manual, is coming to give me some lessons before I pick up my new car. I’ve been so nervous about hill starts, thank you for the calming lesson in hill starts and clutch control. I’m feeling less nervous now.
Passed my test recently, your videos helped so much and still watching them. Thanks a lot!
Passed my test a week ago, still watching because you never stop learning :)
In India we have big speed breakers (humps) helps us how to drive without kerb getting hit
Hi Chris, passed my test 1st time today with 7 minors. Your videos were really helpful to me and I think they will continue to be helpful, so thanks again 😄
Hi! Congratulations on passing your driving test first time. Appreciate you finding the time to watch our videos. Keep up the safe driving and see you on the road :)
very nice calming and softly spoken voice felt nice about driving and undrstood alot anout it. very helpful thank u.👍
~I am Indian. We've got ill disciplined drivers in India. Suppose there is a traffic signal uphill and vehicles stop to a red. Countdown begins from let's say 60. When it's counting down 7...6...5 etc.. drivers behind starts blaring horns at full volume. Beginners get panic and stall.
~Another observation is roundabout. There aren't many roundabouts here. But in those that we have people don't know how to drive. They think vehicles on the main(broader) road gets priority no matter what. Even I came to know about proper roundabout rules from self research.
We are a light year behind you in driving culture. But these driving videos are both knowledgeable and refreshing. Thank you. Subscribed.
Greetings from Malaysia! I just passed my driving test today (first time), and your videos helped me lots. Thank you so much!
Hi! Congratulations on passing your driving test. Appreciate you watching from Malaysia :)
Passed earlier today with 0 minors! Honest to God I binge-watched your videos for the last few days, thanks so much! :)
Hi! You and your instructor should be very proud with zero faults. Well done. Keep up the safe driving as there's always more to learn. Thanks for watching our videos :)
World Driving she was, in 15 years of instructing it was her first ‘clean sheet’! No worries
I don’t think u understand how much I appreciate your existence, love your videos, so informative and they help a lot, thank you👌🏽💜
Hi! Thanks for watching 🙂
Very easy to understand and his voice is very nice and warm as well. I suddenly love to have a manual transmission car. Lol
this was really helpful. My first car was manual but that was more than a decade ago. I live in a hilly area and am about to buy a manual truck. Thank you for the tips!
Pleased it helped and all the best with your truck 👍
Dear Chris , thanks for your videos , i still watch them even when i got my driving license and in a completely different country :) !
Tho i beleive you're using a diesel car which fairly easy to drive compared to a petrol ones (in traffic ofc) , so please if possible it would be nice to make the same video as this one but in a petrol car ,cheers.
This is top quality. Love your calm voice. Great explanations, footage, and editing.
Thank you very much. Too kind.
My first time to leave message but this one is really good, you can see lots of how to stop and how to start instead just talking. I'm not a learner but i drove automatic since i got a licence. I've watched many videos from last 6-8 years. a reason made this one good is he drove in city. clever and good.
Perfect explanation
What a fantastic video... I needed this badly.
Best video on this topic! I've been learning how to drive properly, and I stumbled on this wonderful tutorial! Your placement of cameras is on point and I gotta say, others try, but yours is the best👍
Thanks for your nice comment 🙂
Thanks for these videos, they helped me to pass first time!
Passed my test today with 2 minors! Binge watched all of your videos right up to an hour before the test!! Thanks very much!!
Hi! Great news and congratulations to you. Thanks for watching our videos. Keep up the safe driving and enjoy it :)
Hi Chris, good work with your channel and recent uploads, you're doing really well!. Some nice editing here. I've been following yours and other driving school channels for a while and just thought I'd reach out and say Hi and thanks for the videos!
Hi! Thank you very much 🙂
Both of you are on my subscriptions on CZcams for last 8months. Passed my test last week first time. Another great CZcams is 1st drive. I'll keep enjoying both your videos into the future. You never stop learning
My Driving Instructor is teaching me differently with regards to Uphill Moving from a Stagnant Position; Step 1. Clutch In, Step 2 Shift to Gear 1, Step 3 Release Clutch up to Biting Point/Car Vibrating, Step 4 Press the Gas Pedal up to Refs 2 and once the car dips you very slowly release the Handbrake.
I learn to drive by myself without anyone teaching me and i was happily driving for more than two months and considering myself a professional driver now but after coming to a heavy traffic uphill i lose all my confidence because i feel like i might hit the other car behind so here am i to learn clutch control in uphill drive. Now finally hope that i can get back on track in any traffic whether up or down with ease☺️😁
look forward to the next mock test driving video
I passed 4 months ago and have finally started driving just over a week ago. I get stressed everytime I am trying to creep up a hill in traffic. Thank you for this video.. it is really reassuring that it can be done!
Thanks for this I have been struggling with leaving my building parking lot as the gate opening Remote Tag is up hill, I was struggling with clutch control and when opening the gates, they always close before I can drive out and I often have to reverse back as I block other drivers from going out, it requires lots of practice for sure💪
This video was so so helpful. If only my driving instructors had taught me this. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Pleased it helped :)
A good tutorial on driving a standard transmission in a city. I learned how to drive a standard transmission in Toronto when few a stick shifts around . Automatics transmissions were an added cost. I think if there were more instructions like this in Canada there would be more on standards in use. Now a days it seems that all cars come with automatics. I found standard transmissions were better for driving in the snow. Standard transmission car could be rocked back and forth to get unstuck.
I love this channel so much. He teaches so easily. Love you from India. Awesome video 😊.
Hi! Thanks for watching from India 🙂
This CZcams channel is a godsend.
I am now getting some where. I had a wrong instructor and never taught me which one should be firs.Thanks
I'm still new to manual.
Just a few hours ago I parked my car on a hill in reverse.
First attempted I stalled but quickly recovered and parked it fine.
I just came here to get more of an understanding how manuals work on hills.
Your videos so far are very useful.
I'll keep that in mind when I go out to drive my car again
I passed my test in November last year, uphill starts are still one of those things I’m not great at. I’m a lot better but sometimes finding the balance is awkward especially as my car is petrol and the one I learnt is was diesel. That shouldn’t matter but I prefer a low clutch that a diesel offers. So thanks for this video as it refreshes my memory from when I was learning! 👍
Maybe you can give me some tips 😂 just passed my test. Currently trying to get used to my new car which has a much higher clutch compared to my learning car. When on a hill I could stop the car dead still by just finding the bite not even using the handbrake unless I was there for a while. Don’t even think I was giving it gas just literally holding the bite so the car doesn’t roll back. Can’t seem to do it in my new car 🤷♂️ I’m finding the bite but then it’s stalling so maybe I just need more bite? Any tips haha
Chris thank you man ...the way you teach how to drive ..so amazing, never understood from others.. thanks man..
Hi! Thanks for watching 🙂
