For another important video which shows a very important situation where the handbrake must be used then please check this video here th-cam.com/video/yKxYnPDOobw/w-d-xo.html
Hi Dane, I just wanted to thank you so much for your videos. They are full of great detail and they are easy to comprehend, u break them down into simpler easier steps, which results in myself and many other learners becoming better drivers on the road, as a result of your videos, i passed my driving test there today, it was my second attempt and I only got 2 marks against me, I want to say thanks so much again for your great videos, they are of great help to me and many others, thanks again Dane!
Interesting one here: In Poland you start off the uphill actually not engaging you hand brake, but only the foot one, and you may fail if your car rolls off a bit, this is the way you were taught in driving schools back in 90's and 20's, and I'm pretty sure it's still the same way nowadays. I guess it differs from country to country. Keep up your great work Dane!
Thanks so much for your videos, Dane! They're really helpful! I've just one question. When you apply the handbrake say at the traffic lights - do you stay in the first gear and keep your feet on the clutch and the brake or go into neutral and release the footbrake altogether or... basically the question is what do you do with your feet and the gears? Thanks a lot in advance!
+anonymousbrian thank you 😊 if you're at lights you should wait in first gear with the clutch in and right foot ready over the gas. But if you are further back in the queue, say about fourth or fifth or more back then it is fine to wait in neutral with all feet away from the pedals. I always advise being ready in first gear if at or near the top of the queue.
@@DaneTygheletsdrive question, as you start to move, and release the handbrake do you lift your foot off the clutch and start giving gas at the SAME time that you're releasing the handbrake? I think that's what he was inquiring, I also have confusion concerning the handbrake, thank you I always thought that was done for people that couldn't quite get the bite with the clutch in first gear on a hill, but apparently you need to learn how to use the handbrake anyway and will be asked on the test to do this
I have a question, plz. When turning right and stopping for on coming cars ..say there were two cars, should I use the handbrake?? What about when stopping at roundabout?? Again assume there are many cars and we are waiting ..should we use the handbrake?? Thank you very much
Thank you for the videos. I’m just wondering if the hand break rules are also required to be followed for driving an automatic car, especially during the driving test.
There would be less need to use the handbrake in general in an automatic driving test, but I would recommend using it on a hill, at lights or if stopped over 5 or 6 seconds. The main thing in a handbook is to watch out for the car creeping when in D gear.
Short answer - yes. Long answer it's not really important but I usually recommend pressing the button for most of the uplift but not at the very top because I think it helps to secure the car better if you don't use the button near the end
I don't think it drains the battery 😂 I'm not sure if this is a joke or not but my advice is to make sure that your handbrake is fully up every time you leave the car.
Hi Dane, is there any problem if there is a sound( which is normal if we don't press the lock) while pulling up the handbrake ?? I was told that we must press the lock while pulling the handbrake so that there is no sound that can irritate the tester.
Liked and subscribed. Btw I have one question to ask. I remember someone told me to apply for break as he activated it. Does that means the car goes straight back or something as I activate it? Also if not then how to make my car go straight back? Thanks a lot.
Dane Tyghe Yup he said something like it would start to get straight backwards if I activate handbreak and that's why he told me to keep my foot on break before he actually activated it.
Parampreet Singh Sudan I'm not really sure what you are saying but it could be a parking brake that is like a button on more modern cars. Be careful about listening too much to so called experienced drivers, they might mean well but often they come out with myths and tend to have bad habits. As the old saying goes - Just because you shot Jesse James doesn't mean you are Jesse James.
Dane, should I be in gear 1, foot on the cloth and handbrake on the traffic lights or can I be in neutral and rest my foot? Thank you you are the best.
Hi sir I awais here I learnd form ur video lot I want to know how i avoid to costing when I m driving How i change the gaer when I go to close to junction Pl Thank
just a question, when youre waiting on red light and about to go green, do you put 1st gear then handbrake down or otherway around? also how bout when approaching the traffic light considering its red, do you put the handbrake first then neutral or otherway around?
+Keith Fitzsimons that entirely depends on the situation, if there's a danger that you may roll back you should use the handbrake. If there's no danger of roll back and you're only stopped a short time then there's probably no need for the handbrake.

Yes. You should use the handbrake if you are stopping over 4 or 5 seconds.
How long should you leave it in first gear while waiting at the traffic lights
As long as it takes you to go

Dane Tyghe thank you so much.
Dane Tyghe thank you as I was wondering that too.
Can I get marked for not using my handbrake in the test? I’m using my dads car and it’s a button handbrake so I don’t use it much
Depends on the situation but yes
@@DaneTygheletsdrive if I don’t roll at all can I get marked.
Probably not
Hi mate love the videos so helpful. Just wondering if im going into a roundabout on a hill and i need to stop should I always use the handbreak?
Yes if stopping over a second or 2
Should you use the hand brake at a yield or stop sign?
Maybe, it depends. What do you think?
Do I need to press the button when putting the hand brake up?
Short answer - yes. Long answer it's not really important but I usually recommend pressing the button for most of the uplift but not at the very top because I think it helps to secure the car better if you don't use the button near the end
got electric hand brake on Seat leon FR still use the clutch n bite pint on small hill
Good plan, remember the electric handbrake automatically disengages
Should you leave the handbreak up over night, does it drain your battery?
Thank you.
I don't think it drains the battery 😂 I'm not sure if this is a joke or not but my advice is to make sure that your handbrake is fully up every time you leave the car.
@@DaneTygheletsdrive Thank you
Stay safe and keep it real
Hi, Just wondering can I use The auto hold function in a new car during the test?Thank you!
Yes but I wouldn't advise it as I think it might be easier to creep out without it
Hi Dane, is there any problem if there is a sound( which is normal if we don't press the lock) while pulling up the handbrake ?? I was told that we must press the lock while pulling the handbrake so that there is no sound that can irritate the tester.
Some testers may be sensitive to the sound of the handbrake but there is no special rule on this.

Parampreet Singh Sudan what exactly do you mean? Are you referring to reversing?
Dane Tyghe Yup he said something like it would start to get straight backwards if I activate handbreak and that's why he told me to keep my foot on break before he actually activated it.
Parampreet Singh Sudan who activated it? A driving instructor?
Dane Tyghe one of my relative who has been driving since a long time.

Dane, should I be in gear 1, foot on the cloth and handbrake on the traffic lights or can I be in neutral and rest my foot? Thank you you are the best.
Either way is fine, you should be in neutral if you are further back in the queue but wait in 1st if at or near top of the queue
@@DaneTygheletsdrive thank you very much.
Stay safe
Hi sir I awais here I learnd form ur video lot
I want to know how i avoid to costing when I m driving
How i change the gaer when I go to close to junction
Pl
Thank
Avoid coasting by lifting the clutch, change gear by braking and put clutch in, change gear, come off clutch slowly.
just a question, when youre waiting on red light and about to go green, do you put 1st gear then handbrake down or otherway around? also how bout when approaching the traffic light considering its red, do you put the handbrake first then neutral or otherway around?
Usually handbrake first for extra security but there's no special rule or law on this
@@DaneTygheletsdrive thanks for your response god bless your channel!
Thank you
so if i am stopped at a stop sign and nothing is coming(or maybe just a car or two) i should not use the handbrake?
+Keith Fitzsimons that entirely depends on the situation, if there's a danger that you may roll back you should use the handbrake. If there's no danger of roll back and you're only stopped a short time then there's probably no need for the handbrake.
What if your car has a electric hand break? and its beside the steering wheel ??
No problem, just use it as you normally would eg on hills and if stopped at the traffic lights
Keep it up !!
ANKIT TULI I certainly plan to, thanks Ankit 👍
