    "pretend the pedal is a baby's head". Well, that escalated quickly.

    I think this is a very solid way of explaining examples... And instructing, thank you so much.
    I felt bad yesterday after an practice drive with my instructor. I had learnt to properly drive through the instructors I've worked with (only about 10 hours- spaced out between months), and still hadn't passed my road test the first time in due to entering improperly(crooked) from the parallel parking area of cones/I fixed this but nonetheless got scared with preventing to hit the cones that I couldn't parallel park, my steering was "poor" because I felt subconsciously unsure of what to do. I suppose memorizing the steps wasn't set in my mind because it blanketed my mind, and I switched gears while the vehicle was moving 🤦🏻‍♀️ which I had never did while when with my instructors, but did on the day of the road test. Credits to her for noticing. Nonetheless, was set to reschedule my appt, and I took a time to be able to do this... Had to renew my permit application in advance before it expired, successfully did this, got my road test date, and my driving became rusty.* I was abruptly braking because my heel should've been off. And these tips of "the pedals are pressing on a baby's head" & *on/off technique would definitely really help me* 😅😂 Typically when I would 'press gently' the brake pedal, it's with my whole foot, and I even notice how my technique's wrong. And I tend to fear letting go. Which makes it dangerous if I continue to; having to stop doing this means trying the on/off method. So, bit lengthy comment but thank you nonetheless. It helps to be aware of subconsciously rewiring what we're learning lol- it's 90% of our daily behaviors.

    I'm absolutely delighted to have found your videos. Your FACT steps have just about saved my sanity. Do you have a video for purely stopping the car as well please? I don't think I can find one. I'm so impressed with your teaching method and glad I no longer have to search CZcams for easy-to-understand tutorials. Many, many, thanks.

      The above video is how to brake smoothly, I don't think I have one specifically on stopping but that would be a good idea for the future. Generally when stopping it's brake first and then put the clutch in about 2 or 2 seconds before the car stops. But be careful not to coast too much, this video explains why... czcams.com/video/Y-jciPi0nTM/video.html

    • @DaneTygheletsdrive
      @DaneTygheletsdrive  Před 2 lety

      You'll get there, one step at a time. If you're instructor is getting upset it's more of a reflection on his inability and weaknesses than yours. Anger is a sign of weakness.

    Every time I break the car shakes like it’s about to stall. Very frustrating. It seems much easier to clutch first but I know that’s wrong.

    Thank you so much for doing my video request! I thought I was subscribed to you and wondered why you had gone quiet. Obviously I wasn't! Where are you based? Wish I could hire you. :)I don't think I'll ever pass my test given that i have been told, "you can drive", but that I'm, "not test ready". How can you be able to drive, but not considered "test ready?"

    • @DaneTygheletsdrive
      @DaneTygheletsdrive  Před 6 lety

      +lynncrf Hello 😀 I am based in Wexford town, i know what you mean, a driver can be a capable and functional driver but perhaps not quite confident and skillful enough to be at test standard. But practice makes perfect.
      Where are you based?

    • @lynncrf
      @lynncrf Před 6 lety

      Oh far away then. :) I am in Kildare. My issue is how do you gain confidence when you are constantly criticised by the instructor? My instructor was nice to me until I had a test date, but now that I have one he spent the whole last lesson detailing every tiny fault. He also didn't understand me when I told him that anxiety *massively* impacts my driving.
      For example, my BIL told me that I drive perfectly through town, but that as soon as he takes me to a stressful place I make one small mistake and then panic and proceed to make mistake after mistake. Then it all goes to hell in a handbasket. I am going to do your smooth braking technique when my brother next lends me his car. The lack of smooth braking and smooth going *down* the gears is what I failed on.
      My BIL said his gear changes down are smooth because he block changes. I just can't go down the gears smoothly in such a short period of time as they want you to do in the test. In real life, you have like a minute's notice before being told to make a turn, but in the test they don't give you enough time, and I can't do it smoothly. I wonder would block changing help me as it means you only need to change gear once.

    • @DaneTygheletsdrive
      @DaneTygheletsdrive  Před 6 lety +1

      +lynncrf Well the braking video I made after your asked me to do one was on braking smoothly when you stop. But if you want are talking about going down the gears the key thing is to brake early and gradually as you go down through the gears. Also you must come off the clutch slowly, if you are too quick lifting the clutch then the car will be too jumpy.
      In this video I will show you how to brake smoothly, it's tip one of five.
