Beloved, Please give this your special attention. God is a Good, Holy and Just( meaning that He up holds justice and does what He deems as good) Judge. He is also forgiving and He is All-Loving. He is also perfect meaning that there is nothing about Him this is contradictory. But How can He forgive you and me but still uphold Justice. It's through faith in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. So turn repent and put your faith in the Living Christ who died for U and now Lives

I remember that!
I remember my later lessons, when my driving instructor would turn to me and say,
"If you drive like that in your test, you'd pass no problem" - and I remember feeling like Micheal f*cking Schumacher after those kinds of lessons 🤣🤣
I'd then, ofcourse, think 'how bad was I before!!?' 🤣🤣
But my driving instructor was very much a "we will book your test for when you SHOULD pass not when you COULD pass" kind of guy - and (largely thanks to him, I reckon) I did pass - first time.
New learners try after expert level
Hi, Richard. I am a 18-year-old learner and I just want to thank you for teaching me how to drive a manual car. I've passed my driving test today and your videos were a major part of my learning experience because my real life instructors aren't very good at explaining things like you do. Of course, not to discriminate my personal instructors' blood, sweat and tears, and I'm sure they tried their best to teach me, but your videos helped me significantly, clutch control, hill start, engine braking, parallel parking, etc.
Again, thank you very much for all your hard work in your videos. Please make more videos as I plan on continue watching your videos even after being able to drive on the road independently :)
Congratulations on passing! Thank you for the compliment, I'll keep making the videos.
Thanks alot God bless you
@@ConquerDriving the part i am having difficulty with is heel/toe " AS YOU"RE CHANGING THE GEAR "
is that somewhat subjective? ?
I tried the rev matching as I was downshifting to deal with hills, junction and roundabout and it went perfectly fine as a learner. Usually, I used to get that kangaroo movement as I do the downshift. Thanks alot for teaching the rev match.
@Random Petrolhead your prob just not giving it enough throttle blip or you're letting clutch out too slow
Over the years I have tried my hardest to kangaroo but have never been able to do it!! ever !! Even as a learner I never did it.. 😂 ❤ congratulations by the way, I think people don’t learn to drive till after theyve passed a test. 😊
Best explanation of rev matching I have ever seen. Not only explains how to do it, but how and why it works. Understanding what is happening with the engine and transmission is key to understanding good technique
I got my license in a diesel car, so when I got to drive my dad’s petrol car, I kept stalling, especially during uphill starts. I watched your videos on all the topics I struggled, including this one. Its amazing how well you explain not only the techniques, but the thought behind why you do something. You cleared up all questions I had thank you for your amazing work
I'm "back" after a couple of months of experience driving a manual. Your videos were a terrific help in getting me started--mainly I had to unlearn most of my habits from driving automatics for more than two decades. Now I'm able to appreciate the finer points you include in your videos. Thanks and best wishes!
Experience usually allows us to understand the explanation in more detail.
I wish this guy was my instructor, I think even after passing my test i would continue to book lessons with him. These videos are so good the concepts and what you need to do are told so simply.
I've watched a ton of videos about rev matching. This one was the only one that actually made me understand it enough so I could apply it.
Hey man, I really, really appreciate you showing what you mean - while you're clear with your wording, seeing real life examples is invaluable. Thanks again!
You're welcome ☺
Only youtuber on driving I listen to. Because of his downshift smoothly videos, I have been rev matching every where. Basically since late feb. Very helpful video this.
You're welcome ☺
Being a sim racer before I'm old enough to drive is a double edged sword, it makes me familiar with the controls and generally more able to drive fast, and familiar with the limits, also taught me how to heel toe but I'm probably going to pick up bad habits like left foot braking xD. Luckily I have the under 17 car club to iron out my bad habits before I get on the road :) your videos have some very good explanations, nice one!
Honestly i was a sim racer for a few years before i became a driver, but i don't think i have any bad habits from sim racing. When I get in a real car i switch to a completely different mindset than when I'm racing
left-foot breaking might be useful for daily driving
xD can't hurt, you never know when you'll find yourself at the wheel of a sport quattro
@@NerdyCatCoffeeee it’s dangerous..
Am from 🇰🇪 and currently learning manual transmission. I have been jacking alot while downshifting and through your video, i am now able to downshift smoothly using the gas pedal. Thanks Richard. You are one of your kind
I started with you on day 1. After my first lesson I watched your bite point video over and over again and my instructor was impressed by how much I seemingly remembered. Back then I found driving terrifying and thought it wasn’t for me. 10 months on and I drive for a living, and a lot in my spare time. Whenever I need to learn something new (recently driving in ice, which saved my ass) - I just TH-cam it and add “conquer”. You’re absolutely brilliant at explaining things, you’re so competent and calm and keep the videos interesting. I have ADHD and struggle so much with listening, and you’re one of the only people I can follow along with and stay engaged like almost all of the time. Your pupils are very blessed and I wish more instructors were like you. Wish you the best 2023 and I’m sure in 20 years I’ll still be using you for every car related advice I need lol
That's really nice to hear! Thank you for watching.
Today I understood the concept of rev matching. I was finding it hard to get it but you made it easy:) you got a new subscriber
Thank you! 😊
Only 3 minutes in and already blown away by your explanatory skills! It made so much sense at a perfectly comfortable pace
One of the best instructors on TH-cam. Really good.
Wow tony Ferguson is a driving instructor now
He is a lot stronger than me!
Richard, I started watching your manual driving technique videos about 6 weeks ago. 2 weeks later, I purchased a new MX-5. It reset many aspects of driving experience that I've gained over the last 20 years back to zero.
I have now watched nearly all of those videos multiple times. This week, I removed the "please be patient; student driver" sign from inside the rear window. Heel and toe is the only technique I don't more or less have under my belt at this point. I am now occasionally doing laps on a nearby 3-mile road next to a small airport and practicing downshifting with heel and toe from 4th and 3rd to 2nd. Every time I rewatch one of your videos, my practice helps me notice something new that you do that I can apply to make learning easier. For example, just now I realized that I can determine the optimal rev for a speed and gear combination by simply getting to that speed in that gear. Which means I can solve the issue of the slight jerk when the engine slows to match the wheel speed when I release the clutch somewhat quickly.
Your other videos that include repeating the exercise in your MX-5 have also been a great help, because as you've said several times, revs in that engine drop astronomically quickly, so blipping for upshifts is often necessary, and blipping *after* shifting for downshifts is also correct.
Driving a manual car has been fun and rewarding. Your videos have made what could've been a very stressful experience on Seattle hills and in downtown city traffic instead very smooth. Thanks for putting so much effort into your exhaustive explanations.
That's so nice to hear, it's great to hear the videos have helped you. I hope you enjoy your MX5.
@@ConquerDriving I am! Or I would be, if these roads all around me weren't covered in salt..!
This is one of the best explanations i have seen on TH-cam about rev matching and heel-toe DOWNSHIFTING
Love all your training videos, well explained and crystal clear!
Rev matching is of great use in Mumbai where in and around the city one would often be driving along a level road, turn and be suddenly confronted with a steep upward slope. Losing momentum on a downshift isn’t optimal. Rev matching helps.
Another great informative lesson, just found out I’m not giving enough revs between downshifts. Thank you, keep up the amazing content/lessons 👍
Thank you for your videos Richard! Learning to drive "later in life", in my late thirties, your videos have helped me a lot!
Mate, you are so helpful. Rev matching is so important to overtake safely and quickly. Should be taught to learners so they don't overtake like a granny on a mobility scooter.
Best video on rev matching. Helped a lot. Thank you so much
I've been driving for 32 years and I've never mastered rev matching, only tried it a couple of times and made an arse of it, you explained it very well and I'm gonna give it a go next time I'm out in the car 😀👍
How's it going dude?? :)
Great explanation. Probably the best in TH-cam!
Thank you for your teachings , I am still learning and this is a video I will play everyday for muscle memory. Thank you for uploading. I hope you make more videos 😇
you are truely the best driving type videos on TH-cam or possibly on the internet, Thank you so much much much!!
I've been driving for a year & was never taught this in lessons so thank you for posting this video 👊🏾
Absolutely fantastic explanation, this channel is one of the most helpful driving learning resources on the internet.
This is the best Driving channel I watched in a long time. You explained so clear and detail.
Omg bro', best explanation and tutorial I could possibly find anywhere. I trully apreciate your effort and experience, keep up the awesome work! Many thanks for what this video offered me! ❤
The explanation of the 'rev matching' is just flawless!!
I got my first manual car about a month ago and I’ve been watching your videos and they are very helpful man, my brother taught me the basics of it so I already had most of it down but I need to learn the advance stuff now. I’ve been watching some the same videos more than twice because I’m really trying to get it down and I finally found this rev matching video because I believe I’m ready for it now and I already got it down because how clearly you explain it and the foot and rev cam helped a lot thanks mannn!
Really great teaching. These are the best demonstrations I've seen. Just wanted to say thanks.
This is definitely the best I’ve seen teaching this
Finally someone being really literal and easy in explaining this rev matching and heeltoe stuff. I just discovered the topic on youtube while searching how to be a better driver (I drive manual about twice a year on holidays, both sides of the road) and all the throttle etc explanation means eff all to me. So thanks for being very clear. Obvsly youtube suggested you along the others as I've watched some other topics - I had forgotten that you really are very clear and helpful. Cheers
The only video which i understood properly about rev matching.. Thanks a lot.
Honestly the best explanation of learning manual that I've seen.
Excellent video by a highly capable and very smart instructor who has very impressive knowledge on this advanced technique. The latest cars even blip the throttle for you but I loved the fact that this guy explained all the theory and demonstrated the practical technique to make your driving smoother & safer whilst maintaining the speed through the bends. Very well done! I have learned loads after watching this brilliant video & iv just subscribed to your channel. Thanks!
Been driving for years found this video really useful
This Vid was sent me by My Awesome friend and I feel grateful to have watched this😊
Best video on heel and toe there is, Top guy ✌️
Never found you before when I was still learning to drive for the first time, I've been rev-matching daily for quite a while now and thanks to your video going to learn heel & toe after this :)
Just wanna say thank you for not just teaching people how to drive, but also advancing past the stage of 'passing the test'!
You're great at explaining, very clear and the imagery you're projecting helps tons
very informative videos,
your teaching style is great,
thanks a lot.
Thanks for the lessons. Sure lots of learners will appreciate a lot.
You're welcome.
Thanks for doing more advanced topics -- really appreciate this one
You're welcome!
Thank you so much ! This video is beyond informative, and truly helpful!
Glad I found your channel your videos are extremely helpful
Hey dude, this video of explanation and demonstration is awesome, I learned a lot. Thanks for this upload :)
Started doing rev matching (no heel and toe yet), only after passing not long ago and it is actually so useful on longer back road journeys, makes the journey so much more enjoyable.
Hey Dude, I'm one of Ur subscriber from India and I really like to appreciate all the guides to drive a car fully safely and without any mistake. 🥰
Thank you!
Excellent teaching video with a charismatic delivery ^.^
Possibly the best video I've seen on rev matching. Anyone practicing heel & toe on public roads should make sure their shoes have enough grip on the pedals, especially the brake. So even if you mess up a rev match you can still brake safely.
YES the video I’ve been waiting for! Thanks a lot mate!
You're welcome!
Very informative, and really easy to understand. Thank you. 👍
its been 2 yrs since i seen this video and i still havent mastered this tehnique yet but now that i got more experience i think im ready to try it again
Your videos are brilliant mate. Some of the best on TH-cam about driving manuals and driving in general.
Thank you!
I have been watching heel-toe method from yesterday but didn't understand a little that why people doing it but when I watched here I understood what's heel-toe and rev matching
Good work
WOW that is the best explanation I heard of WHY I NEED HEAL TO TOE and rev matching. first minute got my attention. Got shifter for sim and trying Dirt 2.0 and AC old cars like Ferrari F40
I'm so glad I saw your channel, I just tried learning how to drive a car yesterday during quarantine and now that I saw your channel I have more confidence now! Thank you for this videos man!
You're welcome
Had my 5 speed forester for like a week , first time. Learned so much thank you good sir!!!
He is the only reason I was able to get my bmw to the shop somewhat smoothly after it needed a new radiator the day after I bought it in typical bmw fashion.
Thanks.. I passed my driving test yesterday... Your videos has been helpful
Damnn thank you! The slow engine and fast gears explanation helped me understand it better 😄
Best video on the youtube about this topic 👌
Best teaching - explainer video about rev matching in the whole fucking internet...
Good job! 😀👍
Thanks a a lot for the clear explanations. Passed my driving test today.
Congratulations on passing!
I just passed my drivers test last year. These videos help me in driving on real roads. Thanks 👍🙏🙏
Good explanation on the heel and toe. When I first started to learn, I though it meant literally heel at gas and toe at brakes. Good thing you mentioned the best way to do it, which is to keep you foot heel in between so that you have access to both brakes and gas without one side slipping, causing you to lose a bit of control or messing up the rev match
Wanted to learn how to heel and toe for so long but none of the videos I watched previously I could really understand it, this is the most informative video I’ve found - thanks so much!
What you’re trying to do is much the engine speed/revs to the car speed it’s travelling for the gear you are in …. go down a gear and you can either (1) make the clutch force the engine revs higher to match the road speed/gear combination. … or … (2) rev the engine with the accelerator rather than make the driving wheels through the gears and clutch so as to make the engine spin at the appropriate revs.
Think of the clutch plate slipping until it makes the engine rev to the right engine speed (that hurts or the car losses heaps of road speed).you can help the clutch by forcing the revs higher with the accelerator.
Hi Richard I used to drive a automatic transmission but with the channel I can be able to drive a manual Car thanks again Richard, from Africa zambia🇿🇲🇿🇲
Maybe the best vid one this I've seen
Love it, really humble and well explained. New sub🤝🏼
Finally this video!! woohoo! thanks! gotta learn this! the rev matching is really important, because from time to time I feel that little jerk when downshifting..
You're welcome
Brilliant Explanation 👍🏼
Very very instructive. Thank you very much.
Hahaha I've been waiting this video from you for so long. Finally come out. Thank you so much
Yeah same!
You're welcome!
This is a very well presented video with some sound instruction. I was taught to Drive on a Series 2 Land Rover back in the 70’s, It had no gear syncing and tight gates, so you had to double clutch and double de-clutch. I have used this technique my whole life no matter what car. It’s a great habit to pro long the gearbox life and give a smooth ride. Nice to see how this method has progressed. Great video mate.
Thank you, here is a video I did on double de-clutching: th-cam.com/video/wxxJeHHWXZE/w-d-xo.html
Excellent video. Thank you so much
Great explanation. 👍
Wow 🤩 , you’re very good manners! You still helped your followers even if this time is very difficult for all of us . I don’t know how to thank you enough ! (God) protects you my friend. Stay safe Amen 🙏
No problem, they keep me busy. Thank you.
Great video and clear teaching. Thank you
Thank you and you're welcome.
Good video really well explained thanks 👍🏻
Watching this made me feel back at home... Essex girl living in wales!
this video so helpful, thank you!
Firstly i want to thank you for all these videos you make. I started watching you a few months ago and since then i have upgraded my skills in driving and i feel i have more control of my car, especially when rev matching (i drive for about 1 year a Chevrolet Aveo). What i find difficult to do is heel and toe, for the reason you explain in 11:38 (harder breaking than needed). I feel gas and brake pedals are far apart as well as the gas is far more down than the brake (so i have to press the brake pedal a lot to bring it in the same plane as the gas pedal) making it almost impossible to just "roll" my right foot to press the gas. I know it needs a lot of practice and you can't just simply solve my problem but i felt i needed to share that with you. Any advice is welcome. Thank you again very much!!!!!
Thank you for all your help brother!!
You're welcome!
I must say that I didnt know exactly what is it, but when I had to accelerate once, I used revmatching to about 3500rpm and it was when learning to drive. And it was all thanks to your video and I tried it even without thinking about it, so thx a lot
im taking my lessons while watching your vids since i only learn every friday and sunday since i have school, hopefully i can pass this in one go
il update the result, thank you for all your helpful videos !
Thanks for all the vids bro
This is the way to teach I learn alot from this video ....
great video thanks a lot. u are best instructor in youtube along with Conduite Facile. i dunno why this channel is so underrated ....... it deserves much more subscribers like 10million. keep making such nice videos for car enthusiasts and im sure u soon gonna achieve it. guys pls suppport this channel atleast for the sake of great work by this guy. thanks
Thank you so much.
This video is very helpful. I’m sick of changing down a gear and it slow down and jerk because I know I’m only doing damage to my car. Cheers mate 👍
When I slow down in corners I usually just leave it at a high gear if I haven't down shifted before the turn. As the turn ends I give full throtle then down shift with gas and run away. But this teqnique is super cool. I can see how it can be nessesary for racing. Will definetly try it out
This is going to help with my track day next year now to try it on assetto corsa
Hes a great instructor
I love ur channel very much.
Great video!
Thanks a lot for the clear explanation.. my thumbup for your video
