💜 Thank you for watching my video:
Crystal clear explanation , especially the uphill manual .. clutch-foot brake method .. God bless you
Thank you
Recently passed. Don’t love hill starts. Crystal clear, really really helpful. Stay blessed, keep up the great work.
Thank you Lewis. Much appreciated and congratulations on your pass 😁
Thanks for the tips. I struggle going uphill to meet a T junction leading to the main road. My car always rolls backward while I wait for the road to clear
Great video, all variations clearly explained! 👍
Thanks for the tips ! Very informative
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you sir
Thank you m8
I appreciate your vid explanation is solid 👍🏾💯
Thank you 🫶🏾
nice video
My test is today, hopefully I will come back with great results.
Thank You for this video✨
How was your test?
Respect
My 01' impreza has long transmission and low idle (around 570 rpm) , so when I do clutch brake method it still rolls down a bit, so when I let the brake I immediately give it some gas and lift the clutch a bit more
What a nice car for a begginer👍🏽
But on steeper hills it rolls down like crazy, so only thing that works effectively is clutch handbrake method
In such situations this is what you need to do. Put your feet diagonally like this (\ ), your front feet/toe rest on the brake while your heel rest on the gas and your other feet puts the clutch on the bitting point. When you're ready to go, gently rev the gas 3 times with your heel while your front feet is still on the brake pedal. The rev can be hard or soft depending on the slope youre about to climb. Now on the third rev, you gently let go of the brake, by lifting your toes/front feet and turning it from the diagonal position to the gas pedal completely ( from this shape \ to this |) Its a eazy 1..2..3/turn..movement. You might encounter a few tyre slip at first but with a few practice you will master it. And besides its sounds cool especially when you have a nice sounding car. This technique works 100% of the time, even on 45° slopes...using handbrake is the safest, but when your lazy this technique works best. Trust me I lived in mountaineous region all my life. 🙂
Thank you soo much this helped a lot I passed my driving test with a car that had hill assist and now I don’t have it in my new car I was struggling a bit but Yh thanks this helped lots
Thank you for watching. It will get easier very soon. The more you drive your car the sooner you'll be doing hills without even thinking about them.

I don't advise keeping one's leg on the clutch for that long when in traffic...
Personally i always switch to neutral then first gear when ready to move..
Nice video
Are you referring to when waiting at the traffic lights?
@@ZONDOdriving that’s probably what he meant.
This is what I was looking for.
I drive a corsa that has an e-brake and I have no idea if it even has hill assist.
But its so hard to do the handbrake hill start when the car has an e-brake that disengages when you hit 1.5-2k revs. And if you are late on the biting point, it will just roll back x.x
That's interesting. My partner's car's e-brake disengages when the clutch is at the biting point. I don't think the revs matter. I could be wrong so I'm going to test it out next time I drive her car.
this video is great, i bought myself a susuki swift(2005) petrol. But starrting with the thing is the only thing i can't manage. i just dont feel the car rumble when it gets to the biting point because of the little amount it actually pulls. When im on flat ground i just use gast first but when i am on a hill i definetly cant start without failing or rolling back just because with my foot on the brake i just dont feel the biting point.
I know what you mean. Some clutches aren't that strong. Especially as they get older. Does it just stall when you raise the clutch to a certain point even without vibration?
@@ZONDOdriving it mostly stalls because I don’t feel anything when I reach my biting point. The only way I manage to start smoothly is by watching the revs drop when hitting the biting point. But I never feel the car hitting its biting point. Which makes me start very and I mean very slow.
@@dny_zexion3302 true i hate it when i dont feel the biting point even though you are there
At the end of the video, you said the car would move forward without rolling back. You have to be very quick on the gas to stop it entirely from rolling back, I assume it's okay for it to roll back for a split second before moving forward. Many thanks
The last technique using only the footbrake, does it also work on a steep uphill slope (45 degrees) or is there a higher chance of stalling?
There is a higher chance of stalling but it does work if done properly. Most experienced drivers do it that way.
This is what I have been doing as I don’t like using handbrake
My instructor even suggested this technique i found it highly effective
@@munyaradzimunodawafa7745 same here and its easier well for me personally it is even in traffic lights i put clutch down and right foot on the footbrake then get the car at the biting point then give it gas and we're off my instructor taught me that way
So in the second method 3:01 (hill assist) you start adding gas before bringing the clutch to the biting point and then slowly bringing it to the bitting point? Pls reply
Hi, yes adding gas first means you're less likely to stall. If you get the biting point first then gas that's also OK but if you're not precise with how much you bring the clutch up, you're more likely to stall.
For up hill starts, will the clutch burn holding it on bite point and revving over 1.5k rpm?
If you hold it for too long then yes. Ideally I wouldn't hold it for longer than 3 seconds if you can help it.
@@ZONDOdriving Good explanation! Thank you.
do you have the ford ecosport
No, this is an Ecoboost.
Interesting, here in America the light will go amber when its about to turn red, but not for green. It jumps straight from red to green
I've not driven anywhere with a traffic light system like that. You guys are probably used to it but I think I would find it strange. Do you get people honking if you don't move off straight away as it turns green?
@@ZONDOdriving It really makes no sense at all why we do that here. If I could think of one reason, it's because Americans would try to judge the traffic and go on a yellow rather than wait for green. And yes it happens all the time drivers don't see the light turn green, so it's customary to honk at the driver in those cases
will this burn your clutch?
No it won’t. If you hold the clutch any the biting point for too long while braking or with the handbrake on then it might burn the clutch.
Is your car petrol?
Yes. 1L ecoboost
