You Can Smell the Clutch Burning in the car! | Habits to avoid for a new driver Mock test
Vložit
- čas přidán 9. 01. 2022
- This is Shanie, she started learning to drive with an instructor but she’s done most of her driving with her mum.
She wanted to do a mock test with me to see if she needed to work on anything and improve her skills. She’s a really good driver but she’s picked up a few habits as he's no been driving with an instructor
She’s got great awareness and planning with most of her driving.
Watch how she does in this mock test!
She has a habit of waiting at the biting point and this was causing the clutch to start burning to the point we could smell it in the car.
Her previous instructor always taught her to drive like this and its got her into a bit of a habit.
After I highlighted this issue she was fully aware of how to fix it and did really well thereafter
Thank you all for your continued support

How to drive safely. How to pass
This video is filmed during a driving lesson. It is filmed for educational purposes.
Throughout the video there are highlights to show how you should be driving safely.
I hope this video will be useful! :)

The way I'm impressing my instructor, he thinks I been driving for time but it's just your videos. Keep it up, you're helping a ton
Hahah that’s great to hear 😂😁😆
im the exact same ahahaha
She was a good driver apart from not noticing the lane on that roundabout. I failed because I got confused on lanes too, best of luck to her. Love how you waited 4 minutes at the train crossing where I waited like 20 minutes a few times.
Shanie drives the car with gear changing appropriately, only more experience with hazards and rules is all that's needed. Good video.
Glad I’m not from the city because I wouldn’t have noticed that bus lane either, seems very stressful learning in London
She’s really good 👍 she has good planning and awareness and she deals with meeting points well. Any tips on how to deal with meeting points well and staying focused looking at the road a head as far as you can it’s what I struggle with :(
Really love watching these videos in preperation for my test in march
shanie is quite a good driver, just had two blips with road markings which she can totally fix quickly !
Fantastic content as per usual @Clearviewdriving!
When you are on urban dual-carriageways 30/40 mph with bus stops not having laybys everybody is flowing about the same speed in both lanes. There will be only five miles per hour difference in the two lanes. So you can move out early on if you spy a stopped bus and establish yourself in lane two. Only a smallish gap and signal will be required. If you slow down, the difference in your speed and lane two lane flow speed will be much greater and a bigger gap will be need to get into lane two. If you end up stopped behind the bus the speed difference might be 30/40 mph and if you are tight behind the bus an angled move off will mean an even bigger gap is needed. Even experienced drivers end up waiting until the bus moves off because they haven't got this sorted out.
Past my driving test first time on NYE with no faults. Thanks for the videos really helpful👍🏾
😊😊
she said u had a calm voice lol I agree it’s so calming and it doesn’t make u nervous. I’ve had a male assessor and he just made me nervous the entire time
Oh my god i thought the same thing
Great video, really enjoyed watching this one. Thanks for sharing, Aman.
Love that your face masks are matching your tops haha. Keep up the good work Aman :)
I passed my test first time yesterday and I can honestly say your videos have been such a big help to me and filled in gaps that my instructor didn't always go over although she was great.I began learning a week before lockdown so never drove consistently which caused me to lose confidence The show me tell me questions video helped me immensely and had it on repeat a week before my test to get everything in head.Thankyou so much!
Really well done! And thank you for watching :)
Glad the videos have been helpful 😊
awesome mock test. awesome driver. keep safe always😊🙏
That was a nice drive Shanie, you'll sort those mistakes for your test, and get your foot off that clutch!! (they're not cheap to replace)
I like my clutch medium rare, but she clearly likes hers well done
😅😂
"and subscribe!"
I'm liking this kid already 😄
Got my test tomorrow and your videos are helping so much 🤞🤞🤞
Good luck!! all the best! 😁
I passed 😀
She's excellent awareness.
16:23 for those wondering
Should have been in neutral with clutch up and either brake down or handbrake on
Or you could stay in first with clutch and brake down if your practiced and able to use clutch and brake with the same foot and increase throttle but only do this if you know your moving soon otherwise you will screw up your ankle
Love your videos , still watch them even though I passed the other day with 3 minors!
Loving the green face mask 💚
i didn't know the clutch burning thing, i knew i could happen but idk how. that was very interesting to know!
Watching videos, such as this, where learner drivers drive really well save for one or two errors reminds me how much worse people drive once they've passed.
I swear 95%+ of drivers would not pass a test if made to retake it. Cannot tell you the number of times I am cut up on roundabouts in a day - often intentionally and without signalling.
Its actually understandable as the TEST is Extremely unrealistic to everyday driving and ONLY focus is on safety. Also, The roads are forever changing, getting busier, locals know the roads versus new to the area people. The different capablities of one driver to the next (one could be great at judging distance and speed closure...the other better at posistioning) The amount of variables on the roads makes everyday driving far too unpredictable. You would need EVERY single driver to be identical for the roads to function properly. NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN.
Really helpful to see driving in my local area! I have my test at isleworth in april and trying to move it forward 🤞
mines in April too good luck!!
@@ozlxm You too!!
Can i take your test place id your trying to delay it @ella
@@ozlxm did you have your test yet? if so how did it go?
@@RussellUK not yet it’s in 9 days hopefully I’ll pass will update
Learning allot 🙌🙌🙌💫
Love this video it Helps me ❤👌
I’ve been driving for years yet I still learn a lot from these videos.
Always learning :)
I’m the same
Thanks very useful 👍🏼
I remember my first auto exam, I failed in a few minutes because the examinating police officer was terrible, at the first engine stall he yelled at me "Turn on the engine!" and the story continued until I stalled the 5th time, he told me the exam was over and I was trully panicated because of him! It took me some time after to calm down!
these videos help my confidence in driving so much
Rainy Scotland, the main reason I am learning to drive 😃
Hi!!I just joined in a driving school ... Watching Your videos are very useful for me to drive .. Would be nice if we have a instructor like you in India..
Since our instructors doesn't allow us to drive fully even though they have the control ..They take us only through the straight roads and not narrow roads
I have a few questions to ask abt clutch & brake ..Will be happy if you answer it .. Continue doing the same work ..LOVE FROM INDIA 💓
Hey thank you for your support l, what did you want to ask?
@@ClearviewDriving 1)When we are driving in a narrow road and while turning first we have to brake (or) we have to press the clutch while turning?
2) Suppose we are driving in 4 or 5th gear Suddenly anyone crosses / come infront of us We have to PRESS THE BRAKE (OR) WE HAVE TO PRESS THE CLUTCH ( OR) BOTH OF THAT
@@pradeeshgilly hey when turning at slow speeds into a narrow road. Start with the brake but if the car is struggling or it’s too slow then you should use the clutch and change gear. (2nd gear usually struggles less than 10mph) also depends on your car
Driving at high speeds if anything happened you should always start with the brake and only speeds the clutch down once you’re slow enough to need a gear change
So travelling at 50mph in 5th gear
You can usually slow down up to 25mph anything less than that and the car will start to struggle
The minimum in each gear works in 5’s
The car slows much quicker when you use the brake along as there’s foot brake and engine brake working :)
Hope that’s helps
@@ClearviewDriving Thank you for clarifying me !!So kind of you 👍🏻..Love from India ❤️
People do sometimes get mixed up with how to test if the brakes are working vs. how to tell if the brake LIGHTS are working.
Always 😅 at the start of the test they are usually too nervous and not actually listening to what’s being asked
Your videos are actually so helpful 😭, but for clutch control, when do I use a little accelerator cus my instructor says to only use accelerator once I'm completely off the clutch, but some cars need a little rev??
That is up to the car how it behaves. Usually disel cars do not require gas to start with clutch control, although petrol ones are easy to stall if no gas is given.
Most new cars will autorev so it’s easier to move without but always try to use 1.5 revs when trying to move off
Petrol cars are more likely to stall without the accelerator.
Hope that helps :)
Thanks for watching
Thanks guys 👍🏽😊
@@ClearviewDriving
Nope someone needs to seriously teach that girl how drive manual 5 speed properly
You have to do very slow starts without revs, and while plenty cars with decent torque won't stall if you come off the clutch a little too fast, it'll chew the clutch a tiny bit since really that's what's allowing the engine not to stall.
Until recently I'd driven the same car for extended periods of time since passing, so I adjusted my manual driving habits to each car. However, the past year or so I've been driving a few different cars and some irregularly - I've found the easiest way to drive any manual car both reasonably quickly and smoothly is just to rev to where the engine begins to deliver some decent torque and then pause on the bite point until the clutch is no longer needing to slip. While the clutch is slipping just use the throttle to keep the RPM at the point you started, i.e. roll into it a little.
Hi Aman i love watching your videos and always agree with your instructions.
The only thing I question in this video is when shanie stops at the traffic lights , and she asks you should I use the handbrake at a red light you said no ? I've been taught to always use my handbrake at a red light .
If you could let me know if I'm being taught right or wrong I would really appreciate it.
Keep up the great content. Got my test next week .
Should be no reason to use handbrake unless its a hill.
Shanie is a good driver I am sure she is gonna pass :)
Hi Aman. Firstly I want to say a huge thank you for all your efforts in providing your videos and tips for driving.
I would like to know if and when it is ever safe to overtake a cyclist whilst driving?
Hey thank you for watching 😊
Do not overtake at any of the following 3 points
Bends, junctions or uphill (as you can’t predict the road at any of these points)
Before overtaking always ask yourself if it’s safe? Or necessary?
Did she eventually pass her test? I’d bet money on her smashing it, because she looked a very confident driver. Hope she did or does pas👍
my driving instructor also taught me to hold at the biting point when waiting which I found odd as my previous one did not. Should I ask why he prefers this method as Im quite unsure since I know its not good for the clutch
Some instructors teach it that way, it depends on the car but it’s a bad habit overall
Just bring the clutch to the bite when you wish to move forward
Otherwise it’s not necessary
my car autorevs so that’s why it was burning up and you could smell the clutch burn 🔥 💀
My instructor also asks me to find the biting point and get it ready when on a hill. Now I find it better pressing the parking break button and then just giving it gas with biting point when ready to move off. I was stressing and scared of rolling back when holding the break and switching over to gas
@@ClearviewDriving kannst cool 👏👍✌️✌️✌️✌️😎💯😎🤗😎😘😎😘😘😘 auto fahren ok
Facts Same here just continue what he says
it's beyond not good for the clutch, it's terrible. You don't get that many chances at burning the clutch before it'll start slipping, especially in more powerful/torque-y cars.
Love video
I also get the left and right mixed up but only when I'm driving 🤦🏿♀️
I would be the same if someone’s giving me instructions in a new area 😅
I had my test in Erith. Had 0 minor. On my way back, there was a 20 sign in 30 road which was blown away by the wind. I drove 25 but slowed down, she told me this is 20 road. The lady failed me for this. I hope I pass next time. Gutted :(
wtf
Hi please explain me first serious bus lane what happen exactly,
I can see on left bud lane what she did she should drive or cross bud lane I have no clue?
Good videos
My dad would have karate chopped my leg when he realised I was holding the clutch like that. The way she explained it with poise and calm is a top-notch professionalism. It would take a lot of effort for me to be that effortlessly chill.
Hi Aman, did Shanie pass her true test please?
i wouldnt blame her .. road markings were shit.she is really good driver
Lovely clean drive but be aware of the poor clutch plates .
Is it advised to signal off of smaller roundabouts? I’ve noticed in the videos students often don’t
Mini roundabouts
Signal left for going left and right for going right
A left signals to come off is not necessary
If you think it will be helpful you can signal but most cases it won’t be necessary
Just on big roundabouts
If Shanie was in a band or was a rapper, the name would be "Burning Clutch".
did I just hear a dad joke? XD
@@OneZeeYT maybe you should get your hearing checked, because I don't hear anything. Honestly, everything was typed out.
Nice❤️
I got my car stuck in deep mud. I asked someone to hop in my car as I push as I'm bigger then them and I can push better. Then this guy just stats to burn my clutch so I kick him out of my car and tell him to push. He can not then called some others to help. I did get out in the end.
J'aimerais remercier Frédéric, Pascal et Stéphanie pour m'avoir appris la conduite :)
1 ans déjà ça file à tout vitesse !
I failed all my mock test but passed my actual test 🤣👁👄👁 we were very shocked, confused and happy
Hahah that’s the way it should be!
Most my students fail with me but pass on the day :)
The instructor was bitter about her clutch plates “you can’t smell on your car cuz you’ve burnt them out already” savage 😂
Hahaha naa 😅 she honestly didn’t realise she was burning the clutch, but Shanie definitely learnt after that 😂
At the end of the test Aman is like: "You burn enough of my clutch, don't kill my battery too"
Hahah naa 😅😂
If she had gone left at the roundabout as she was In the wrong lane, would that count as a type of fault?
No that would have been fine, as she would have simply gone the wrong way
So you don’t fail for that :)
So i have a doubt, can u put first gear on a moving vehicle
I think it's crazy that instructors don't have to have basic box standard controls in their learner cars... unless you or your family are rich I don't know any new driver that could afford to have all these mod cons in a first car... how many new drivers forget to pull the handbrake lever because they have learned in a top of the range car with auto handbreak or different handbreak. Also this car has parking assist.!! with reverse facing camera.. what's the point of learning with that of course your gona get a perfect parking position lol.. these cars are designed to make life easier but when your leaning, it's meant to be about doing it all yourself so when u pass and drive alone you can still do all these manovers without all this expensive extras...I guarantee it has hill start assist also so no rolling back, I dunno... but anyway this is just my opinion dont come for me lol I think this stuff actually hinders new drivers, and maybe they don't use these In lessons but they where all used in this mock 😑
U are also allowed to use these on your actual test, this is coming from someone who passed using auto handbrake and cameras
I believe this is an A Class, which is not the most expensive car on the market at all.
BTW, it’s extremely rare not to have reversing cameras. They are legally required here in the US now.
@Unconventional Ideas not in the uk. There are more cars on the road without them than with them ..
Shanie, driving is alright apart from those mistakes! "Clutch up to biting point, while waiting at junction, undue hesitation, she could have move to the right hand lane, in good time. She will know what to do by getting it right the next time.
Hi I have done 40 plus my drving lessons still my instructor not tell me ready to drving test what can do can you help me out miss ?
Hey there’s a 6 month wait at most locations so it’s a good idea to book your test and plan your lessons
Everyone learns at a different pace so try doing 10 minutes of driving independently and see how you do and then try 15-20 minutes with no prompts
good luck :)
Hi, is there any chance I could do a mock test with you? I'm Based in west London
Hey you can email me
And I will try book you in :)
I’m taking mock test bookings at the moment
If I want to give mock test, how should contact you guys.
Are manual cars still available in UK ?
Yes, most people drive manual cars here
Where did you get that lush green silk face mask? Would love to know 😍
15:11 Is it possible to get a second opinion on that? I know someone who failed their driving test for doing that although the road was not as wide. You would clearly cause an obstruction and you would cause people to brake because they would assume you have not seen them.
In this case it wasn’t a big issue as no one was affected behind us with her waiting
She could have taken potential gaps but she didn’t affect anyone and was waiting for both sides to be clear
By the time someone did turn up behind her, she went soon after so it wasn’t a major issue
@@ClearviewDriving The someone I mentioned failed their test because they wanted to turn right, pulled out half way then waited for the gap. For the driving test, I think you have to wait for both sides to be clear before pulling out.
@@edif8925 you should only go halfway if one side is completely clear and you see a gap approaching on the left.
Once you’re halfway out, the traffic from the left usually gives way(flashes their lights and slows down)
Yep, that would be me. I'd be like that bus driver in The Truman Show just shredding the transmission. Can't drive a stick. My feet can't count 3 pedals.
Can I get my driving lessons with you please? 😊😊😊
she’s leng and a good driver
@UCXk83nf7GAAYA9xGfSz8plw stop forcing the lingo g
ahlie😂
im taught to hold the clutch on the biting point when waiting anywhere..
ive passed , I still want lessons with u
Nice car what model
Hey it’s a Mercedes a class
She's applying gas even before completely removing her leg from clutch peddle. This can completely burn her clutch plate. 2:49 time on video.
Yes she’s always been taught to do that.. but after this mock she was aware of her bad habits
@@ClearviewDriving What is the point pressing clutch down while waiting for a green light? The bearing is wearing down as well. What about neutral and pressing only brake instead?
She was only in the bus lane for a second while moving over would some examiners ignore this and not fail her? If it were me I wouldn't as she was in the process of moving over if she didn't do this and drove in it for a while then fail her but for me I thought that was abit harsh. Did anyone else see the man walking with a Christmas tree on his shoulder?
Wouldn’t that be a fault for driving over the mini roundabout at 7:14?
I think it’s only a fault when you drive all four wheels over the mini roundabout. But she only drove two wheels over it :)
Looooool i heard it all now, hows adult saying she mix up left and right LDDDD where do you find this people lol
What was that part where she had to wait for 4 minutes?
hey it was a level crossing. so its always a good idea to secure the car and switch off the engine as you will be there for a while
Hi Aman, what’s your email address? I have my test booked for next month so would love to do a mock with you before hand.
Hey its, clearviewdriving1@gmail.com
I will try and get back to you, getting a lot of mock test enquiries so I'm unable to reply to everyone straight away 😊
My cousin always drives in the bus lane
His a bus driver 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣
How kaby clutched have you been throgh? 😅
Oi oi Richmond
Omds my test is tomorrow
Passed!!! So gassed, thank you for this channel 💙
@@sk00770 well done bro !!
@@user-zg7xm2ny7v thanks man
she isn't setting the gas before moving off, why are instructors still teaching this way? this won't work in a car that has a small displacement petrol engine.
Interesting how driving 35mph in a 30 zone is not a serious fault, as that would be an instant fail here in Australia. I guess every country has its own nuanced marking guides for the driving test 🤔
Hey it was very brief as soon as he went up to that speed, he realised and slowed it back down
As the road was absolutely clear
It wasn’t serious
Sherwyn never driven my car before this and so he wasn’t used to the accelerator and thought the car was faster than his instructors 😅
@@ClearviewDriving totally understandable and i agree that it shouldnt be a serious fault too. However, unfortunately here in Australia, if u go over the speed limit at any stage during your test - its an automatic fail 🥲
@@vintagecottonon didn't know kangaroos could go faster than 30mph
I live in Ontario Canada and we are allowed to go over a little if the zone is 50mph were allowed to go 55 or less. We also have to do the hand over hand manoeuvre with the wheel when doing a turn
@@ClearviewDriving see this is what confuses me you say she only over sped briefly so why not apply that to the bus lane? She was in it briefly while moving over.
Surely the second serious wasn't a fault, she went q different way and did it safely
She went against the road markings
The traffic who would now be positioning in the right hand lane would be going ahead and be expecting her to turn left
It would have been better for her to just turn left at that point
@@ClearviewDriving oh right fair point, you're the teacher I suppose
@@kyrantate3275 even teachers get it wrong.
Left foot position when not engaging clutch was making me sweat a bit to be fair
😅new drivers sometimes get into this habit
Are you secretly Jade from mortal combat?
GOT ALL THE WAY TO THE TEST CENTER AND THE INSTRUCTORS CAR HAD A MISSING BOLT CAP
SO DEVASTATED
Oh no! But that’s something your instructor should be able to sort out and hopefully get you another test
Sorry to hear that 😩
I am from India....and it is absolutely magical to see no one honk!! It got to a point where my mind is just shouting loud that why would you not want to honk
The horn is only used to make others aware of your presence
Some drivers use it out of frustration 😅
Horns are used for emergencies/preventing accidents (ie, when someone is reversing towards you but has not seen you). Otherwise, honking is almost as good as swearing at another driver in most situations. It is not a way to make friends, that’s for sure.
How is doing 35 in a 30 only a minor 😄🤔
we teach differently in Ireland! better! also, we drive differently in Ireland! worse!
Was it pissing you off 😂😭
Hey no she wasn’t aware she was doing it and after waiting at the roundabout for so long with the clutch burning
I knew I had to say something and we’ll she’s learnt from it
So it’s all good 😊
@@ClearviewDriving teach me how to be so patient
Ahh the mask days
If you can smell a burning clutch then you mask ain’t working. Therefore pointless
