1) Clutch down 2) Turn key (engine on) 3) Gear 4) Hand break off 5) set gas 1500+ revs 6) lift clutch very slowly till car moves 7) hold clutch steady till revs go up And you are then able to take foot off clutch.
I've only done 2 lessons but honestly wanted to cry last time because my brain just isn't comprehending the clutch really. At least not in practice when there's a million and one things to think about. This is so helpful. Thank you.
My advice would be to learn only the clutch for a bit. I usually get my pupils to sit in the passenger seat and use the dual control clutch to get the hang of it without having to worry about everything else.
I watch this video before I go on my driving lesson every single time and it helps me so much! I wish so many driving instructors were this good at explaining things like you do. I just want to say thank you 😊
@@ConquerDriving I passed my test first time yesterday with zero faults!!! Again, thank you so much for your help with your videos it really means a lot. So happy right now 😁😁
I wish my driving teacher was as calm and explained as much as you. I find the thing you do with the clutch and gas pedal incredibly hard, but no one has ever told me to watch the RPMs. This sonds like a good advice to beginners who are still trying to find their way around the car. For the first time I actually cannot wait to try this and see if I could start moving without shutting the car off a couple of times in a row.
Haha most people never watch the RPM gauge even when I first started driving (Never driven an auto never will) I never looked it it, I grew up riding dirt bikes. Well motorcross bikes have nothing in the way of gauges so you’re already used to listening to the engine. Gauges can fail but engine sound’s won’t. I was really little when I started driving so I didn’t even know there was an RPM gauge till my mother told me
Exactly and I actually like that advice. Not one of my teachers ever taught me that. They just said when I feel it I will know and I genuinely didn't understand.
Thank u lifesaver. I just couldn't get my head around this with my instructor butting in from time to time with him breathing down my neck as if i should hv learnt in my Mamma's womb! Million hearts in gratitude
I'm starting my lessons this summer with my dad, and am already scared cuz he's so impatient. You on the other hand make it sound so fun, you're really calm and clear. Thank you for this, really helpful.
@@stefangermanski2668 Thank you! About the exams? Not sure if it's the same where you're from but in my case, for the written exam, review traffic rules and regulations, your licensing office might have an online reviewer for the exam. This is important because they won't even let you do a test drive if you fail. For the driving test, it's all about how much you practice, so it's better if you have a car and someone to teach you since you will spend less in driving school. Your driving instructor will give you better tips than I'll ever do. Just don't forget to buckle up at the driving test and goodluck, man!
Hey, I just failed my driving test after learning for one year and I was so upset, seeing your message gave me hope that eventually I'll get there!! Thank you ☺️ and congratulations!
I had my first lesson a few days ago but this really helped! I was feeling really overwhelmed with all the steps but this has made it easier and I will continue to watch before my next lesson!
Ah, my first lesson was a disaster. I'm a car guy, so I love cars but my first lesson was digitally (in our country it's called a Trenažer - basically drive in a mock of a vehicle and you see using the tv screen infront of you). I stalled almost everytime I tried to set off, I shifted badly twice and so on. Thankfully, my current instructor is chill about it and said that it's a lot different in real life than digitally and that I'll get the hang of it eventually.
I'm 15 years old in an abusing household. I know it's illegal but this helped me get away from the house and drive to the nearest police station as I didn't have any way of contacting police over any form of technology. So you saved me. And I appreciate that and can never repay you for that
After passing my Driving test first time (UK) in December, I can assure you that your driving lessons are MUCH harder than the actual test. This is what shocked me the most and it made the test itself so easy because my instructor prepared me so well. Have faith in yourself, it's not hard at all!
@@owensanfordstuff I didn't do a single mock. Just did the normal lessons and applied for the test. If you treat it like a lesson, and not an exam, you will pass first time.
Big props. You're the only one who actually tells to hold the clutch in for a sec before lifting it. My instructor didn't and as a result the car always kicked at first until i realized by myself what to do.
I am currently doing lessons (only had 2), but I can't believe my instructor hasn't said anything like that either. When I asked why the car moved like that the instructor (and everyone I would ask when asking doing little trials before my official lessons) would always just say the same thing - you're coming off the clutch too quickly. I don't know what version of English these people are speaking compared to me but 'quickly' doesn't mean or imply 'without pausing'. If anything saying you come off it too quickly makes you think slow but continous is what you should be doing - which is still not correct 🙄

Hey bro im doing the same and judgung by your name you seem to be southern african i am too could u share how fast the lessons went for you to get your license ?
Just started my first driving lesson today, all was great it went really well but i did get a tiny bit confused with the clutch system and gears but soon as I got the hang of it I was ace! This video is really helpful and will come in very handy for my lessons next week and many more to come. 😊
I watched this today before I drove a car that was given to me and I drove for 198 kilometers from Mubi to Yola within Adamawa state, Nigeria for the very first time. Thank you
I was having fun until I realize I have to drive with the steering wheel at the right as I live in Europe so... I watch it all! It was really amazing, thanks.
Had my first lesson yesterday and was feeling really discouraged, kept jolting and stalling the car, my foot kept getting stuck on the top of the footwell when using the clutch, mentioned it to my instructor and he didn't say anything about keeping my heel up, this had helped so much and I'll be going into my next lesson with a lot more confidence!
This is by far the best driving lesson on TH-cam. My driving instructor didn't tell me about the bite point. He just told me to lift the clutch slowly and I struggle to change gears smoothly. Thank you for sharing 👍
Got my first lesson in 3 years tomorrow. I was so freaked as I failed my test back then. I couldnt remember anything. Watching this was great as it reminded me so much, and made me more confident. Hopefully tomorrow goes well and I will take the test again in 2 months or so😊
Coming back to this video to say that I just got my first car today and I was surprised how confident I felt driving it, that's because I watched most of your videos on manual car driving. Cheers.
Yes whenever my dad teaches me how to drive his manual my leg starts to wobble like mad 😅 it's kinda nerve racking cos u dont know what's happening or If I like know if u did it right or not
I had to come back to this video just to say that these videos really helped me learn manual. I had my first manual car dropped off to me and without any prior lessons I started practicing moving on my driveway and stalled a few times (as expected) but I started to get the hang of it and after that driving and shifting gears was easy. I always remembered these videos and the tips/advice you give and it really helped and also saved me about $300(nzd) to take manual driving lessons! :D
3:23 yes! excellent tip, this is what most instructors/parents dont tell you and what most learners dont know, thats why it takes them so long to get it
I’ve watched several videos like this and always ended up feeling lost, confused and just not understanding.. for the first time I can happily say this has taught me what to actually do. I rewatched several times then went out with my mum for a quick practice drive and genuinely haven’t seen such an improvement in my driving before . Thankyou so much ! Brilliant video 👍👍👍👍
I’ve been wanting to learn for years but my first and second time was traumatic cause my dad screamed at me saying I can’t drive cuz the car kept stalling. I finally got a car and now I HAVE to learn so this has been very helpful. Can’t wait to try it out and see if I get the hang of it
My best advice is to take your time and do everything extra slowly when you're starting out. That way to you will give your body and mind time to learn the car.
Thank you man, you taught me how to drive in an Automatic when I first got my Ls, and to always give way to the right or anyone on the roundabout! Now you're teaching me how to drive in manual! You're saving lives here man, truly.
I'm about to start driving lessons, and before all that I wanted to fully understand how to use the clutch pedal, how it relates to the gas pedal, and the "tricks" you need to know to get the car started. This video was perfectly clear about it, and having the three cameras recording in real time really helps a lot. Thank you so much!
Have had 2 lessons so far, decided to watch some videos as per my teacher's recommendation - this helped a lot, thank you! From watching your feet moving I can see how the clutch routine becomes second nature over time, even tho it's really confusing rn lol
Here’s a tip: definately don’t try to practice driving a car on a day where you’re stressed or have not eaten at all,it might disturb your concentration.
What if knowing that you'll have to practise that day makes you stressed? xD I've been driving around with my dad for a couple of months now and it's going alright, but I'm always stressed out beforehand.
Another piece of advice I figured out on my own - When you are first learning to drive a manual, wear sandals. Doesn't matter if it's cold, wear socks with your sandals if you have to. It's much easier to find the bite point if your footwear has thin soles. In the first few days of learning to drive a manual, I was wearing regular shoes, and I kept stalling and bucking non-stop. I couldn't feel the bite point. Then on a whim, I decided to wear sandals. Like magic, the bite point became very obvious, and I instantly stopped stalling and bucking. So, wear sandals, it'll make your life easier.
Wow, I had my driving practice today and I was feeling overwhelmed, I decided to watch some videos on TH-cam and found yours and I can understand it soooo much better now because of your video, thanks alot brother im gonna surprise my instructor tomorrow with improved skills heheh
Now I'm a lot older than most people learning to drive and am only starting lessons soon. But this has been a great video to show how the peddles interact with each other. thanks!
I learned how to drive an automatic awhile ago and wanted to learn how to drive a manual, gave up because I could never get the takeoff smooth, would stall all the time, and had no idea what I was doing wrong. Decided to try again after watching some of your videos, and not only have I not stalled since picking it back up but all of my takeoffs and gear changes are super smooth. A true testament to the quality of your teaching that I went from not being able to drive a manual at all to driving smoothly and even having fun just by watching your videos. Thank you so much!
Thanks a lot. I can drive manual now. I used to continuously release the clutch like people said. Your holding the bite point technique worked the best
I want to tank you for taking the time to make these videos, thanks to you I learned how to drive my manual car. I don’t stall anymore and you gave me the confidence to learn. Thank you
Was driving yesterday with my father and i kept lifting the clutch to early the whole time, then this video randomly pops up in my recommendations thank you👏🏾. Update i finally learned how to drive thanks for the help although i struggled to balance the clutch and the gass i finally got thank you once again.
I've known all these basics, but u explain things so nicely, the left foot not being planted after finding the biting point was my mistake, either planted it too early not being able to fully lift off the clutch when i need to, or i didn't plant it at all causing my left foot to be unstable on the clutch. Absolutely something in here for every single beginner. Class video mate!
I already have a full license but I'm learning manual on a brand new car I bought with stick shift. Your videos are incredibly helpful, your way of explaining things is easy to understand and immensely helps me. Keep up the great work.
Thank you SO MUCH for this video 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 I'm currently in week 2 in driving school and during practicals, balancing between the clutch & accelerator pedals always gets me in a fix. This guide will change my practice A LOT. God bless you!!! 🙏🏽💃🏽
Wow this was so easy to understand and comprehend ! I bought myself a 01 civic ex as a Christmas gift and haven't driven many in over a year so and felt like I was struggling a bit to get the hang of the gears and the peddle but this video made it so easy to get understand. It was a really nice video man, thanks so much !
I'm watching this nearly 2 months after I passed the driving exam and six weeks after I bought the car and got on the roads! We have winter now and I'm having trouble getting car to move smoothly. So thank you for this video!
I got my license in the Netherlands so i learned how to drive a manual car at my driving school, but still a cool video! Glad to see i'm using the clutch right
Thank you so much for this! I have always struggled with the placing of my. foot when pressing the clutch and just realized why. No teacher have ever told me that it´s wrong to keep the heal down when pressing the clutch. To them it´s just something everybody knows apparently? Anyways, thanks again for making videos like this! You made me understand the car so much better!
Started driving lessons recently, but because of ANOTHER lockdown I'm stuck again! Your videos are super helpful to keep learning and understanding what to do! Will hopefully be practicing with my mum during lockdown (driving to the shop for food etc) so this is much appreciated! Thank you!
I had my third driving lesson today, and my clutch control was terrible this lesson. My instructor was very frustrated with me and her frustration made my driving worse. Thank you for this video, it calmed me a lot.❤
My dad always said that the increase and decrease with gas and clutch was gradual. The way described here was much more in line with what I imagined the gears doing.
It was my first day today I just cried, having to balance and to learn how to operate the clutch and control the other paddles. 😢 But this video was helped me to ease up, it was way better than my instructor
This gives me anxiety about my first lesson. Took me eight hours to be able to use the clutch properly without jerking the car...didn't help I was on a hill...now I drive F1 cars. On a console. So much easier.
i really wanted to thank you because my instructor never told me what to do to fix the problem with the clutch (at 10:47), i just looked up here on yt and it feels waaay better, for some reason it never crossed my mind to not do like the gas and break pedal, thank you so much again
Thank you for all your helpful videos. Particularly getting my head around roundabouts - no pun intended lol. Being a visual learner studying from TH-cam is perfect. Your manner, detailed explanation and video production is superb. You have a real gift! Anyway, I passed my driving test this morning - not bad for an anxious 50yr old - and wanted to drop by and say thank you.
This is so helpful, I've just gotten old enough to start learning to drive with my parents and I've already been doing it once, tomorrow I'm gonna practice again with my dad and one thing I'm gonna take with me from this video that I didn't do correctly last time was that I pulled the clutch all the way and didn't hold it in position when starting the car. Thanks alot for the tips! ❤️
Hoping to start learning to drive soon and trying to get my head around clutches and gears is the worst part! All my friends and boyfriend have been driving for years now, so I think, if they can learn to drive, I can... but it looks SO much hard work. I feel like it needs a level of multitasking skill haha
Just want to say thank you for making such clear, informative videos. I'm currently learning to drive in another country and a different language to my native language. Watching these videos before my lessons definitely helps me to understand things better
I had my first driving lesson today !! it was so scary but also so fun- this video is a great recap of my lesson.. my biggest issue was braking. I kept hitting the clutch too early and too slowly and then hitting the brakes too fast🤦♀️
This is what I learnt yesterday during my 1st driving lesson. It is lots of things to remember but I am sure I will get the hang of it once I keep going on with my lesson. Thank you!!!
@@hungry6646 Hi, I had to stop multiple times because of covid but just this Monday finished my 14-hour lesson. I am improving, going to roundabouts and M40. However, I still struggle with my steering :( my instructor always tells me that the reason is that I am not looking far enough which I really don't know how to fix
I took driving lessons a few years ago but gave up. The instructor didn't explain things as well as you did and I never understood exactly what I was doing or why. Thanks for this, I might try again.
@@ConquerDriving at first it was going on well. Now, I have difficulties when I arrive a junction because of fear i guess. Failing at every junction makes me feel so bad
Damn i have my first lesson tomorrow and i have literally never driven a car before, since i grew up without a dad i never had anyone to teach me the basics so i am really grateful for this video
I already know those things, but still watching as it is always a real treat 🙂 Thank you for another great job and the view from different cameras, that really means a lot. Also speaking just right, not to slow at all 👍🏻
9:00 I was definitely doing the 'slow release' instead of 'holding on the bite point' thing in my first and second lesson. Feel like it was explained to me wrong by the instructor and none of my questions really clarified it. Thanks for the video!
@@Todsor it isn't car specific, every manual car you put your clutch in to then change gear, as the clutch acts as a blocker from your hear falling in and out of where it should be, imagine all gears are closed, once you put the clutch in all gears open, like doors, then once the clutch is out, all gears closed again 👍
You are really good, and peaceful. Your voice is very calming. Most driving instructors are very unable to control their emotions and they stressed you out.
This was great, thank you! Just became a bus driver here in Australia and I’ve never really driven a manual car 🤣 Most of our buses are automatic but some older ones are manual and I need to be able to drive both. Will definitely be using your video for reference, thank you from across the pond! 🐨🇦🇺🦘
I passed my driving test from just continuously watching your videos. thank you so much 🥺
congrats!
God bless you
He is very clear I never drove a car before but watching his video iam telling u I can drive it now without fear
As in you didn't need any lessons?
Awesome and worthy learning videos. You're a great teacher 🎉
1) Clutch down
2) Turn key (engine on)
3) Gear
4) Hand break off
5) set gas 1500+ revs
6) lift clutch very slowly till car moves
7) hold clutch steady till revs go up
And you are then able to take foot off clutch.
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Thank you very helpful ✨
You the real mvp for this
I think the point should be to hold the clutch and breaks down because if your car is positioned downhill, it could go free due to clutch engagement.
You should never start that way, the proper way is finding the bite point, give it gas as you slowly let go of the clutch.
I've only done 2 lessons but honestly wanted to cry last time because my brain just isn't comprehending the clutch really. At least not in practice when there's a million and one things to think about. This is so helpful. Thank you.

Coming back to this video to say that I just got my first car today and I was surprised how confident I felt driving it, that's because I watched most of your videos on manual car driving. Cheers.
I'm very happy to hear that, thank you.
Anyone gets their leg shaking when lifting the clutch SLOWLY? 😂
This is very common for beginners.
@@ConquerDriving dam i got my first lesson today
and my legs are jelly lol
Yes whenever my dad teaches me how to drive his manual my leg starts to wobble like mad 😅 it's kinda nerve racking cos u dont know what's happening or If I like know if u did it right or not
@@dawid960 omg same
Same I thought I was the only one
I start my lessons this week, so I'm super nervous! This helped me feel a bit more prepared
I happy to be of help 😊
Did it go well?
Update
@@rowan3531 i got my license last summer!
@@EvaEvika do you drive a Manual or automatic?
I had to come back to this video just to say that these videos really helped me learn manual. I had my first manual car dropped off to me and without any prior lessons I started practicing moving on my driveway and stalled a few times (as expected) but I started to get the hang of it and after that driving and shifting gears was easy.
I always remembered these videos and the tips/advice you give and it really helped and also saved me about $300(nzd) to take manual driving lessons! :D
3:23 yes! excellent tip, this is what most instructors/parents dont tell you and what most learners dont know, thats why it takes them so long to get it
I’ve watched several videos like this and always ended up feeling lost, confused and just not understanding.. for the first time I can happily say this has taught me what to actually do. I rewatched several times then went out with my mum for a quick practice drive and genuinely haven’t seen such an improvement in my driving before . Thankyou so much ! Brilliant video 👍👍👍👍
I wish my driving instructor was like you It would make my life so much easier😂
Thank you.
I wish
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
I have my licence for about 20 years and I still find this video very informative.
I’ve been wanting to learn for years but my first and second time was traumatic cause my dad screamed at me saying I can’t drive cuz the car kept stalling. I finally got a car and now I HAVE to learn so this has been very helpful. Can’t wait to try it out and see if I get the hang of it
My best advice is to take your time and do everything extra slowly when you're starting out. That way to you will give your body and mind time to learn the car.
How are you doing now with your driving skills Kristina ?
Thank you man, you taught me how to drive in an Automatic when I first got my Ls, and to always give way to the right or anyone on the roundabout! Now you're teaching me how to drive in manual! You're saving lives here man, truly.
I'm about to start driving lessons, and before all that I wanted to fully understand how to use the clutch pedal, how it relates to the gas pedal, and the "tricks" you need to know to get the car started. This video was perfectly clear about it, and having the three cameras recording in real time really helps a lot. Thank you so much!
Thank you and you're welcome.
@@ConquerDriving I am nervous about my driving lesson but this is helping. Any advice pls :) x
@@bethanyleonard5766 keep calm and remember whenever you want to slow down the car , make sure to hit the clutch first before the brake pedal
@@bethanyleonard5766 also remember to put pressure when you want to shift your gear from 1 to 2, that way you will be more easy to pass than fail
I love how calm you are while u’re explaining this 😊
I passed my driving test yesterday with a manual car, I'm so happy
Congratulations!
Congratulations
Congratulations, take care!
Have had 2 lessons so far, decided to watch some videos as per my teacher's recommendation - this helped a lot, thank you! From watching your feet moving I can see how the clutch routine becomes second nature over time, even tho it's really confusing rn lol
Here’s a tip: definately don’t try to practice driving a car on a day where you’re stressed or have not eaten at all,it might disturb your concentration.
Good advice.
What if knowing that you'll have to practise that day makes you stressed? xD I've been driving around with my dad for a couple of months now and it's going alright, but I'm always stressed out beforehand.

Another piece of advice I figured out on my own - When you are first learning to drive a manual, wear sandals. Doesn't matter if it's cold, wear socks with your sandals if you have to. It's much easier to find the bite point if your footwear has thin soles. In the first few days of learning to drive a manual, I was wearing regular shoes, and I kept stalling and bucking non-stop. I couldn't feel the bite point. Then on a whim, I decided to wear sandals. Like magic, the bite point became very obvious, and I instantly stopped stalling and bucking. So, wear sandals, it'll make your life easier.
I've learned so much more from this video than 20 hours of driving lessons. Thank you so much man you are amazing!
did.i.ask
Wow, I had my driving practice today and I was feeling overwhelmed, I decided to watch some videos on TH-cam and found yours and I can understand it soooo much better now because of your video, thanks alot brother im gonna surprise my instructor tomorrow with improved skills heheh
Now I'm a lot older than most people learning to drive and am only starting lessons soon. But this has been a great video to show how the peddles interact with each other. thanks!
I learned how to drive an automatic awhile ago and wanted to learn how to drive a manual, gave up because I could never get the takeoff smooth, would stall all the time, and had no idea what I was doing wrong. Decided to try again after watching some of your videos, and not only have I not stalled since picking it back up but all of my takeoffs and gear changes are super smooth.
A true testament to the quality of your teaching that I went from not being able to drive a manual at all to driving smoothly and even having fun just by watching your videos. Thank you so much!
Thanks a lot. I can drive manual now. I used to continuously release the clutch like people said. Your holding the bite point technique worked the best
I'm happy it helped.
About to do my first driving lesson after lockdown. This helped me feel less nervous 😅 thanks
I wish you good luck 🤞
it's a lesson, not a test, nothing to be nervous about yet lol
@@QuantumNetwork Wish I felt that way! Maybe I should have said anxious, just wish I had more confidence
Death Flare what’s the difference between a lesson and a test
@@shakilrahman3394 A lesson is where you are taught how to do it, and a test is where you demonstrate to the instructor that you know everything
I watch this before i go for my driving lesson
I hope it helped.
Conquer Driving always 👍🏼
@@A19th did u pass?
FootballVFX i havnt booked my test yet bro
@@A19th let us know how you get on when the time comes
I want to tank you for taking the time to make these videos, thanks to you I learned how to drive my manual car. I don’t stall anymore and you gave me the confidence to learn. Thank you
Was driving yesterday with my father and i kept lifting the clutch to early the whole time, then this video randomly pops up in my recommendations thank you👏🏾.
Update i finally learned how to drive thanks for the help although i struggled to balance the clutch and the gass i finally got thank you once again.
Must be a sign 😄 you're welcome

Anybody else watching this who has a full license and can drive
i dont have an license but i can drive
Simply D 5 years I don’t even kno why I’m here
I’m here because I tought it was a guide for pro drivers.. I mean sporting drive, heel-toe and so on
I may do a guide on that in the future.
Nah am watching 2 years before I can drive
first time driving a car today and i cried because i didn’t understand how to make the car move with the clutch and now i’m here at 1am😬
I hope the video helps.
How is it going? I’m starting my lesson in a few month 🥲🥲
Omg same I had my first lesson yesterday and I was so nervous I couldn't keep clutch control but I hope in my next lesson I'll be better
I've known all these basics, but u explain things so nicely, the left foot not being planted after finding the biting point was my mistake, either planted it too early not being able to fully lift off the clutch when i need to, or i didn't plant it at all causing my left foot to be unstable on the clutch. Absolutely something in here for every single beginner. Class video mate!
I already have a full license but I'm learning manual on a brand new car I bought with stick shift.
Your videos are incredibly helpful, your way of explaining things is easy to understand and immensely helps me. Keep up the great work.
I'm glad I'm helping you, I hope you enjoy your brand new car.
This was recommended even though I've held my license for 3 years. Still enjoyed it though
Thank you.

This guy knew what a beginner needs to know. Big ups just getting started.
Thank you SO MUCH for this video 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 I'm currently in week 2 in driving school and during practicals, balancing between the clutch & accelerator pedals always gets me in a fix. This guide will change my practice A LOT. God bless you!!! 🙏🏽💃🏽
Wow this was so easy to understand and comprehend ! I bought myself a 01 civic ex as a Christmas gift and haven't driven many in over a year so and felt like I was struggling a bit to get the hang of the gears and the peddle but this video made it so easy to get understand. It was a really nice video man, thanks so much !
Your definitely my favourite driving channel, you make everything seem straight forward and make everything logical. Keep up this brilliant content!
I'm watching this nearly 2 months after I passed the driving exam and six weeks after I bought the car and got on the roads! We have winter now and I'm having trouble getting car to move smoothly. So thank you for this video!
I got my license in the Netherlands so i learned how to drive a manual car at my driving school, but still a cool video! Glad to see i'm using the clutch right
Thank you
Freedom
Thank you so much for this! I have always struggled with the placing of my. foot when pressing the clutch and just realized why. No teacher have ever told me that it´s wrong to keep the heal down when pressing the clutch. To them it´s just something everybody knows apparently? Anyways, thanks again for making videos like this! You made me understand the car so much better!
Started driving lessons recently, but because of ANOTHER lockdown I'm stuck again! Your videos are super helpful to keep learning and understanding what to do! Will hopefully be practicing with my mum during lockdown (driving to the shop for food etc) so this is much appreciated! Thank you!

I had my third driving lesson today, and my clutch control was terrible this lesson. My instructor was very frustrated with me and her frustration made my driving worse. Thank you for this video, it calmed me a lot.❤
i know that feelin and then you end up forgetting some steps
I know...same thing happened to me😢😢
My dad always said that the increase and decrease with gas and clutch was gradual. The way described here was much more in line with what I imagined the gears doing.
I was struggling with lifting clutch smoothly and it turns out my heel was in a wrong position! Thanks for the tip 🥰
You're welcome ☺ happy to help.
It was my first day today I just cried, having to balance and to learn how to operate the clutch and control the other paddles. 😢 But this video was helped me to ease up, it was way better than my instructor
This is the best lesson ever I parked my husband's car today and I have no driving lessons.thanks for the lessons
This gives me anxiety about my first lesson. Took me eight hours to be able to use the clutch properly without jerking the car...didn't help I was on a hill...now I drive F1 cars.
On a console. So much easier.
You had us in the first half, ngl.
@@narutomax1101 Lol, had to keep it a bit real 🤣

This man explains better than my current trainer. Can't thank you enough.
I'm happy to hear that, thank you!
Me: accidently shifts in to 1st gear instead of 4th
Rev: here we go again brrrrrrrrr whauuhhhhhhhhh
That's why I hate this manual driving.
wait what how do you shift from 3rd to 1st
@@hellothere-xz7kf ? You can even go from 4th to 1st by mistake..And the car stops. It's hard to explain. Just move the gear...
Yep, your valves are done for
Why is this my most liked comment
i really wanted to thank you because my instructor never told me what to do to fix the problem with the clutch (at 10:47), i just looked up here on yt and it feels waaay better, for some reason it never crossed my mind to not do like the gas and break pedal, thank you so much again
Thank you for all your helpful videos. Particularly getting my head around roundabouts - no pun intended lol. Being a visual learner studying from TH-cam is perfect. Your manner, detailed explanation and video production is superb. You have a real gift! Anyway, I passed my driving test this morning - not bad for an anxious 50yr old - and wanted to drop by and say thank you.
That's great news, I'm happy you like the videos. Good luck on the road!
This is so helpful, I've just gotten old enough to start learning to drive with my parents and I've already been doing it once, tomorrow I'm gonna practice again with my dad and one thing I'm gonna take with me from this video that I didn't do correctly last time was that I pulled the clutch all the way and didn't hold it in position when starting the car. Thanks alot for the tips! ❤️
Hoping to start learning to drive soon and trying to get my head around clutches and gears is the worst part! All my friends and boyfriend have been driving for years now, so I think, if they can learn to drive, I can... but it looks SO much hard work. I feel like it needs a level of multitasking skill haha
It gets easy with practise. The key is to break things down so you don't have to do too many things at once.
Just want to say thank you for making such clear, informative videos. I'm currently learning to drive in another country and a different language to my native language. Watching these videos before my lessons definitely helps me to understand things better
I had my first driving lesson today !! it was so scary but also so fun- this video is a great recap of my lesson.. my biggest issue was braking. I kept hitting the clutch too early and too slowly and then hitting the brakes too fast🤦♀️
I'd Love To Have You Teach Me Hehe. You're Teaching At My Pace And You Dont Sound Impatient And Intimidating At All...
Thank you ☺
Ben ncube are you zimbabwean??
if u are i understand u totally 😂😂😂😂
@@roblogam3r715 Girl No. I'm Actually South African...
This is what I learnt yesterday during my 1st driving lesson. It is lots of things to remember but I am sure I will get the hang of it once I keep going on with my lesson. Thank you!!!
Hey give a update on how you are driving now
I'm nervous because i don't know anything lol and my cousin's going to teach me in parking lot
@@hungry6646 Hi, I had to stop multiple times because of covid but just this Monday finished my 14-hour lesson. I am improving, going to roundabouts and M40. However, I still struggle with my steering :( my instructor always tells me that the reason is that I am not looking far enough which I really don't know how to fix
I took driving lessons a few years ago but gave up. The instructor didn't explain things as well as you did and I never understood exactly what I was doing or why. Thanks for this, I might try again.
Taking my first lesson tomorrow, here I am at 11pm trying to make sure I know the basics at least. This is really helpful👏🏼
I hope it went well!
@@ConquerDriving at first it was going on well. Now, I have difficulties when I arrive a junction because of fear i guess. Failing at every junction makes me feel so bad
@Zoltan Vass thanks for asking❤
I know I should be paying attention...
But this is what I'm actually watching: 1:26
Ha i saw that too, he did a good one tho
lmfao. thanks for this
Damn i have my first lesson tomorrow and i have literally never driven a car before, since i grew up without a dad i never had anyone to teach me the basics so i am really grateful for this video
Good luck tomorrow, I hope it goes well.
@@ConquerDriving thank you
@@Kayn_The_Shadow_Reaper how did it go brother
I don't want to sound rude, but why couldn't a female teach you the basics?🤔
@@Traveler-rf8ye listen idk either but maybe his mother doesn’t know how to drive manual. (Just a theory)
I'm removing all the confusing videos on ''How to start and drive a manual car for beginners" and save this video. Thank you for the wonderful lesson.
I already know those things, but still watching as it is always a real treat 🙂 Thank you for another great job and the view from different cameras, that really means a lot. Also speaking just right, not to slow at all 👍🏻
Thank you!
⚘
Thank you so much! I haven’t done any driving lessons since lockdown started and now I have one today. This helped me remember
You're welcome.
This video is actually helping as I'm doing my lessons but changing gears yooooh I'm still strangling with that!!!!
9:00 I was definitely doing the 'slow release' instead of 'holding on the bite point' thing in my first and second lesson. Feel like it was explained to me wrong by the instructor and none of my questions really clarified it. Thanks for the video!
Bro.❣️❣️ With this knowledge I was able to drive ma car under 7h in the northern Himalayan region in India.
Thanks alot
You're welcome!
Im learning more here than my driving lessions
That means a lot, thank you.
Yh seriously this is so useful
Cooliomix 🔥
@@ConquerDriving Do you really have to press the clutch down for gears after 2nd? Or is it car specific?
@@Todsor it isn't car specific, every manual car you put your clutch in to then change gear, as the clutch acts as a blocker from your hear falling in and out of where it should be, imagine all gears are closed, once you put the clutch in all gears open, like doors, then once the clutch is out, all gears closed again 👍
Thanks alot, I always like to watch this before my lesson just to make sure I got the basics down ❤️
You are really good, and peaceful. Your voice is very calming. Most driving instructors are very unable to control their emotions and they stressed you out.
This was great, thank you! Just became a bus driver here in Australia and I’ve never really driven a manual car 🤣 Most of our buses are automatic but some older ones are manual and I need to be able to drive both. Will definitely be using your video for reference, thank you from across the pond! 🐨🇦🇺🦘
