I was a bit struggling on approaching roundabouts in high speed, this helped a lot. Thank you!
Thank you for watching
i guess I am kind of off topic but does anyone know a good place to watch new series online ?
@Zaire Hayden I would suggest flixzone. You can find it on google :)
@Paxton Guillermo Yea, been watching on Flixzone for years myself :D
@Paxton Guillermo Thank you, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) I really appreciate it !
Thank you so much for this! I haven't been taught to use gas before the clutch in my 20+ hrs of lessons and I thought something was just wrong with me - never understood how other cars were moving off so quickly. This video really helps me see how to do this method without using the handbrake.
@mfh. I'd get rid of your instructor, they're wasting your money and time.
Bro same thing happening with me
I have the same problem with moving off quickly, I'll give gas before clutch a go today
Thank you so much for this video!! As I am also from Milton Keynes I found this really helpful especially for dealing with roundabouts. 😄👍
Happy it helps
The way he does everything is so satisfying
Thank you for watching
Thanks, sir, this is really helpful, now my instructor ain't gonna be mad😂
Happy to help
One of the main things I struggle with is changing gears whilst steering such as at a roundabout, moving swiftly from first to second. I assume that'll just take practice to get comfortable with.
Yes, the more you practice it the easier it is. But you will find that most will change gear as the steering wheel is straight.
Hi! Thank you so much for the videos on roundabouts. It really helped a lot. I've passed my test with one try last month! Thank you again. Regards from Malaysia! 🙏
Excellent
Great explanation thank you, I’m struggling with getting enough power to take off quick at busy roundabouts. This helped a lot!
Thank you for watching and safe driving
This was incredibly helpful, thank you
Thank you for watching
Thank you so much for these Videos Travis, Im 19 and have my first test tomorrow, always struggle getting straight into second after stopping at a roundabout
Thank you for watching and good luck on your driving test
Lot of love for Travis for making these useful vids!
Thank you
Learnt more here than l ever did with paid instructors 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Thank you for watching
Nice Creps Travis👍🏽!
Thanks for sharing. I have not covered roundabouts yet. Very useful video x
Thank you. Hope it helps

Thank you for subscribing. Hope the videos help you
@@JamesTravis yes indeed bless
Thank you
Safe driving
I hate when the on the road test consist of turning into a steep slope, I need to down gear, hold the clutch, hover the break, and steer to the right. As a learner, doing three things at once really make me struggle
It does take practice
Very helpful
Could you do a video on block changing gears please? My instructor taught me to do this but I've had a break from driving after passing and could benefit from some reminders. thank you.
Thank you so much Sir for your helpful videos and all of your efforts.
Thank you for your kind words
Can you show the movement of clutch, gear and accelerater movement in round about. Can we use 2 gear and half clutch
Can you explain how to downshift without jerking/dropping the clutch, so say coming from 3rd to 2nd at a mini roundabout etc.. how long do you need to spend lifting the clutch up, im giving it a 3 second hold and the car keeps jerking
Hi, if your clutch biting point is high, then as you change gear, lift up clutch quicker but slow right down as you reach the biting point and take longer to lift off.
If you biting points low, then slow the lift off even more. The judder is because the engine is having to quickly slow down to match the gear. So more time to lift off clutch is needed.
But if your foot isn’t on the break and one foot is on the acceleration and ones biting you will move? I stil don’t understand
What you want to do is practice on a quiet flat road with no handbrake on, just practice lifting slowly the clutch and stop just below the biting point then practice lifting slowly and then lowering it.
Your video is so helpful
Thank you
more roundabouts videos please, I'm struggling 😔
Try this one Roundabouts UK. Tips, when to go. 2019 czcams.com/video/IPk1XPrmyoU/video.html
Another great video 👍 Can I ask are you driving a diesel or petrol car?
Petrol
Learn-to-drive Travis thank you 😊
Thanka
I always worry I'll burn the clutch on the little SEAT Mii if I hold it too long but hopefully it's fine.
As you get better at clutch control you will know how much to get away with.
Very good sir
Thank you for watching
Okay so I have a question. If I’m approaching a roundabout in 5th and I then put the brake on clutch in and go down to second then clutch up slowly my car will start chugging can anyone help
If the car jerks when you lift off the clutch then it could be your foot coming off too fast.
If the car is struggling when you lift off clutch, it could be you are slowing too much and need to get off the brake.
In my lessons the instructor gets me to change down through the gears whereas you do block changing. 5 to 3, 3 to 1. Am I allowed this on my test?
Either is fine. But block changing gives you more time
im confused, in my lesson i never use gas when moving off or changing gear only after im off the clutch
Some instructors teach it that way. But in most petrol cars you move off combining gas with clutch.
Are you learning in a diesel car? They are alot harder to stall as they have alot of torque.
You know I struggle with pulling off effectively. I do have shorter gears in my car specifically for getting off the line faster and i cant seem to figure out how to get up to traffic speed without regular cars pulling around like I’m moving too slow. What am i doing wrong? How can i simply get up to speed and avoid sluggish take offs ?
If you can move off smoothly from a side road.
Go to a deserted road and practice pulling away.
The part about changing into 3rd approaching a roundabout - is it a necessity? I've read that on a modern manual car, you can go down to a second gear type of speed while still in 4th or 5th, and so save yourself an extra gear change.
Yes you can change(it’s called block change ) gears by skipping out others as long as you get the speed down. If you watch some of my other videos on gears or roundabouts you will see me demonstrate or talk about it. Safe driving
Thank you for the good suggestions, I am having trouble with slowing down from 80kph speed while approaching roundabouts, from how long should I stop with gas? I usually stop with gas and break little to reduce the speed then change gear from 6 to 4 and then 2. Sometimes when I am close to the roundabout the speed is 30kph, is it ok? if i do not see any car on roundabout should I remain with a speed around 30kph?
Hi travis when you say “covering the brake” does that mean your foot is above brake but your not actually pressing it? Also when slowing down and changing gears approaching roundabout do you take foot off brake before taking foot off clutch? Many Thanks
Covering brake, just resting lightly with little pressure.
After changing gear, the clutch comes up first, then depending on approach will depend on how quick I lift off brake.
Learn-to-drive Travis thank you so much 👍
Confused about a roundabout where I live...it’s 2nd exit at 4 o’clock which has 2 lanes on approach with no lane markings on approach or on the roundabout. Am I correct in using the right hand lane and signalling left and moving across just after I pass the 1st exit? Both lanes go around the roundabout and it looks like either could be used, but I don’t want to cut anyone up on my left as I take my exit. The exit I am taking only has one lane.
Sounds right what you are doing
Hi Travis, at 6:01, were you not meant to move to the lane on the left with the road markings? You went over the lines and stayed tight against the round about instead
Great video👍🏻 I have a problem of when I come to roundabouts or junctions I won’t take my foot off the clutch when slowly going down gears individually or even when I’m going around a round about and I think it’s because of I’m scared of juggering, when stopping at a roundabout do I keep my foot on the clutch to get ready to pull off while accelerating or do I take my foot off the clutch then accelerate without my foot being on the clutch at all?
Moving off from roundabouts. Gas and clutch to biting point, when car is moving and picking up speed, lifting up clutch, you will probably at that point go back down on clutch to change to 2nd.
Hi drove rubbish today and got my test next tue. Do u think its nerves or shall I cancel. ? As have a week to decide. My instructor made me stop at the side of the rd as i wasn't getting my clutch bite. At junctions and roundabouts. And it hasn't happened before. I have been driving my husbands diesel car and hers is petrol. Should I carry on with him or Not sure if its hindering me. But i feel i need to go out with him all this week. Plus i carnt sleep and feel sleepy. Sorry for the million questions.
How did it go?
@@DTunezOfficial I failed on overtaking. Got next test 30th of july. Was heartbroken . I must of come in too early .🙄
@@plushmandude8206 how did it go
How does your car not move when you find the bite but don’t have your foot on the break? I move the minute I lift the clutch up
I lift the clutch to just below the biting point, but enough to hold the car still. Just takes practice.
Hi mate, I was wondering when you change to first gear and come to a stop at a roundabout, do you press the clutch below the biting point whilst gently applying the gas to stay stationary?
Yeah, lower the clutch below biting point
Am gonna have my 4th leason on what lesson do you normally do roundabats and dual carridgeways am gonna do right turns next lesson
I did them on my first lesson, guess it depends on the instructor
I’m doing a roundabout today! 5th lesson
Good luck and if you get time checkout my playlist called all about roundabouts
I've been told to switch to 2nd when creeping up at 10-20kph..
Sounds ok
So are you lifting the clutch to the biting point then applying gas? Or applying gas first then clutch I’m so confused
Gas then clutch, watch the two previous videos and the part 4 on creeping forward. They should help
Failed my test yesterday :( I’m not sure about positioning my car a metre from the curb I kinda suck with math
Sorry to hear. Hopefully you can get a quick retest.
Whenever im slowing down for a roundabout, i slow down to an appropriate speed for 2nd gear but when i change to 2nd and lift the clutch slowly, the car jerks... why???
It is either one of two things causing this.
A. The last bit of the lift on the clutch pedal needs to slow down more to adjust the speed.
Or
B. Bring your speed down more for the 2nd gear
Have this same problem it’s usually when I haven’t slowed down enough
Why do they use the handbrake so much in the uk?
Hi Travis, when there is no traffic and you are about to approach roundabout from high speed, you always change the gear into 2nd or 3rd depending on the speed. In that case, do we need to press the accelerator and leave the clutch slowly or can we just leave the clutch slowly without using/ pressing accelerator?
Because I heard from some people that you can leave the clutch slowly when changing the gears without pressing accelerator. Is it true?
I’ve been pressing the accelerator whenever i use clutch because this is what my instructor taught me. And now i heard i can lift the clutch up without using accelerator and im scared to do that. Please help, im confused.
I hope it makes sense, sorry abt my English.
When approaching roundabout/junction. You slow with brake, when speed is down to the gear you want such as 2nd you press clutch and change to 2nd gear whilst braking just enough to hold your approach speed similar. After changing gear you start to lift up clutch slowly whist still braking if needed on approach. At that point your left foot could be covering the clutch pedal but not pressing it just in case you need to give way to traffic, if you need to give way to traffic, then clutch back down whist braking to stop.
Hi Travis, is keeping the clutch at just below biting point while on brake then bringing it up whilst moving off while simultaneously pressing gas ok at roundabouts. Impressive vid! Test on Friday!
Any tips you could give thanks!
Its ok, but there is a risk of stalling if you keep on brake too long.
When your stopping and putting it into 1st on the round about and adding gas before the biting point what kind of revs are you hitting ?
1.5 thousand
@@JamesTravis but how do you avoid rolling back?
“Milton Keynes” … proceeds to do a video on roundabouts 😂
Spoiled for choice
Hi, great video, but I’m having an issue going from 3rd to 2nd before a roundabout and I always end up stalling, any help with this ?
You could on clutch late, which means the car is going too slow for 3rd gear causing the car to judder and stall.
Learn-to-drive Travis so how would I prevent this, by breaking way ahead of time and then quickly putting it into 2nd gear. It’s really frustrating me.
Debs A on my videos on roundabouts (check out playlist on roundabouts)I talk about bringing your speed down so just before the left bend on approach to roundabout you change from what ever gear you are in, to 2nd( your speed would need to be around 18 to 20mph).
Watch the videos on roundabout series, that will help.
Learn-to-drive Travis okay thank you very much I will watch those videos and hopefully get a better understanding
Hi Is it safe to go from 3rd straight into 5th gear on dual carriageway?
Personally, i would not. It can be done if you hold back on the gear change and use lots more fuel building up your speed in 3rd. But if you go from 3rd to 5th without building your speed up, then you will not increase your speed as quick as you might like in the 5th gear at that point.
Why do you wait 3 seconds on the clutch? Never done that before I just bring it up. Cheers.
Got to build a little momentum so it won’t stall but I guess it depends on the type of car
Just drive around with your hazards on and go at your own pace.
I passed and Never learn't clutch and gas balancing
