    The trick to driving a manual is just figuring out where the bite point is in your car, and what the clutch is actually doing inside of the engine when you find it. Everything begins to become intuitive after that. When i bought my first car it was a standard, and i was shitting my pants the first time i took it on road because i had this mindset that finding the bite point was like, an achivement or something. As soon as i took it to an empty parking lot at night and just practiced finding the bite point a million times. all of the anieties vanished... truly an awesome feeling, because then you realize that you get to drive stick!!

    Luckily this video came out the day I passed my test. I do remember how sunny it was the coming days before my test and I ended up wearing my sunglasses so it'd be easier for me to see anything coming up on junctions. Since I bought my car about a month and a half ago and started driving on my own last week, the biggest worry at the moment has been the rush hour and my clutch control hasn't been the best so I've been watching a few videos about it to prepare me better. I personally didn't encounter much rush hour on my lessons so it's still fairly new to me and I'm glad to have seen your videos about it as it will hopefully make me a bit less anxious when traffic's busy because everyone else finishes school and work :)

That is a very handy tactic and though I have been driving for a few months already, I can imagine how using this method will make my driving a lot more smooth. Thank you so much for sharing.

  • @sand2rock
    @sand2rock Před 2 lety +1

    I really enjoy watching your videos. For uphill, I use my handbrake and shift the gear to neutral while stopping at any signal. After signal turns green, I hold down my brake, release hand brake, press down clutch, shift gear to first, slowly release the clutch to half clutch (still holding down the brake) and release the brake. Accelerate slowly if necessary, and then move forward.

    • @ConquerDriving

    One technique my driving instructor taught me is that if you have to use the handbrake at a junction, there’s nothing to say you have to take your hand off it. It’s perfectly OK to hold it up with the button depressed. It saves a little bit of time when you come to release it again.

      That's true, however some handbrakes are rather heavy so probably only good if you have strong arms 💪
