Going up the gears
--> 2nd 18-20 km/h
Junctions, ramps, roundabouts, climbing gear on the the way up to 3rd and 4th
--> 3rd 30 km/h (maybe a little before)
Certain town situations
--> 4th 45-50 km/h
Open/better roads with no parked cars
--> 5th 70+ km/h
Main roads/motorways
Yeah

Absolutely!!
Hi Dane, I passed my test last Thursday! It was my 3rd time sitting it. You're videos were an unbelievable help so I can't thank you enough.
That's fantastic news, congratulations 😁
As a younger driver beginning to learn I found this really helpful and cannot thank you enough
That's my job, glad to be able to help you and others 😊
I've been learning to drive for the last 6 years with 5 different instructors and my husband. You make the most sense out of any of them. I wish I found your videos years ago! I have my first test in 5 days, and I am going to binge watch these in between practising - wish me luck!
That's nice to hear, I have another video due today on gears, best of luck with the driving test 👍😊
Finally, found an excellent instructor with clarity. Dane, you are simply the best.
Thank you very much and best of luck with the driving 😊 glad to help.
Dear Mr Tyghe , After my lessons and watching your video's all the driving techniques fully clicked into my brain. On the 12 th June 19 . I passed my test in Carlow. Many of the other learner driver's at the test centre told me they too watched your video's and found them extremely helpful on getting the perspective right on driving. I do not know how they did . But I sincerely thank you for taking the time in making these. Thank you !
I have a soft spot for Carlow 😁 that's great news of course, thank you for letting me know and congratulations on a superb job 😀
Helo Dane i just wanted to tell you that your channel has helped me a lot. There is so many things you wont even get into on your lessons with an instructor, so its very handy you can just relax at home and go over few things when it comes to driving to get fuller and better explanation. if someone ever criticise your channel or says something negative about it don't listen to them. you are doing a great job as a driving instructor, there should be more driving instructors like you. Thank you for putting your time into these videos that helped many
That's very nice to hear, thank you very much 😊

I just passed my test today thanks to you and other who makes these videos.
Glad to help, congratulations on passing the test 🙂
Thanks Dane, just passed my test. Your tutorials have been a lifesaver.
Lovely to hear, thank you and safe motoring for life 😀
waww I really like your videos.they are clear and easy to understand specially with pictures.
+its me thanks ☺️ glad you enjoy them
👍
Appreciate video content! Excuse me for the intrusion, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you thought about - Tarbbatigan Cars Rehabilitation Tip (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is an awesome one off product for learning how to repair your car the easy way without the headache. Ive heard some great things about it and my close friend Aubrey after a lifetime of fighting got amazing success with it.
+Raúl Marmitajo never heard of it, but I'll check it out, thanks.
Really great teacher
+Jesus Christ thanks
Learner driver learning to drive your videos are great thanks 😎
Get in lane with the great Dane 👍
I truly appreciate this video AS I SURE DO NOT GET THIS IN A DRIVING LESSON . Thank you Mr Tyghe
Glad to help, best of luck with your driving 😊👍
I didn't even know about "block changing" until now!
You learned something new.
Hi Dane
Your videos are really good. Its very clear & easy to understand . Thanks
I try to keep it simple and minimise waffle. Thank you 😊👍
Content of your videos are always informative and amazing.keep making videos.
Saif Saqib Thank you very much Saif, i appreciate your support. I hope to continue making the driving videos 😀
Some say 5 grear is for 45+ speed,and he says 5 gear is for 70+.I am confused
Shreesh Shukla 4th is plenty to hold the car at 50 60 kph . Only need 5th on dual carriage ways and motorways
@@shreeshshukla8638 some cars have 6 gears that’s why.
Hi Dane,I just want to say thank you very very much, your videos are awesome and I passed my test yesterday ....GOD BLESS YOUR JOB😍😍😍
That's lovely to hear, congratulations 🙂
Massive help. Have my test on Monday🤞🏻
Good luck with your test
What if you want to downshift so you can accelerate faster to overtake? If you brake and then change down a gear, not only would you be slowing down substantially causing vehicles behind to brake, but also the vehicle you wished to overtake would have moved further up ahead due to the speed differential.
your videos really good..understand easily..thank you...I am going to attend my exam Tuesday 28th .. very informative
your videos really good.uderstand easily..thank you...I am going to attend my exam Tuesday 28th .. very informative
Very easy to comprehend. Thank you very much for this great info.

Yes thank u very much keep up the good work and the tips videos coming I really learned a lot with ur help and videos I have improved a lot in my driving thanks to looking at ur videos FairPlay
aven o sullivan Great to hear, thank you very much.
How soon can you slip down to neutral, let's say for example I am coming down the road at 30km and I am engine breaking and I plan on coming into my own driveway?
Great video, helped me with my confusion around downshifting! But the image of the gearbox in the thumbnail is very upsetting lol
Glad to help, thank you 👍
Good instruction video - easy to comprehend.
I like to keep it simple, thank you
I really love all your videos, well explained and very easy to understand …
Thank you

i like ur video .ur great teacher to me.
Thank you and best wishes 😊
Very informative
You're not wrong
Your videos are helpful
Thank you
Your tutorials are most helpful.
Quick question,
Should you bring up the clutch slow or quick when changing up or down gears, and then just accelerate on as normal?
What noise to listen for to change up or down gears?
Thanks 😊
When you hear the engine getting louder go up the gears, come off the clutch slowly going down the gears and slow but not too slow going up the gears
@@DaneTygheletsdrive Thanks.
What engine noise should you listen out for as a prompt to change up & down gears?
Nice video,plz cAn you make a video how to check mirrors properly

Thank you for the vid
+Rakatawhat my pleasure
Wonderful videos!
Thank you
Do you teach your students to downshift (and use engine brake) to slow down the car instead of just pressing the brakes?
It's not a case of one way or another, it's about doing both as they are both helpful. You can't just generalise it as if we're talking about favourite characters from Game of Thrones. Engine braking alone is not going to be great on a steep downhill. Just like you won't need to brake very much on a flat surface. Have a look at the video below -

very informative. thank you
Bhim Raj Rai my pleasure, thank you
Hi Dane, your videos are brilliant!! It's helped me quite a bit. I just have a bit of problem with changing gears on my own car. See the problem is for my car, 30km is a little towards the higher side for 2nd gear (1800 rmp) , but is too low for gear 3 (1200 rpm). Would you know what can be done in this situation to drive smoothly at 30Km/h?
Use your best judgement, you can be flexible as not all cars are the same.
I have had 4 driving lessons now and when I change the gear and put the clutch down once I’ve changed gear I really slowly take my foot of the clutch and then go on the accelerator which slows the car right down.when I am about half way of the clutch then should I put my right foot on the accelerator
When you are almost fully off the clutch then accelerate, it's all explained in the video.
thank you i have got it very important. but i am quit a bit confused on changing down gear from 5th to 2nd or 4th in this video.it looks like the same.
What is confusing you about changing down gears? The reality is that you can do it one by one or skip a gear. Depending on how much time you have.
thank you for reply ,but i mean if forexample i was in 5th gear and wanted to change to 2nd gear i would probably select 4th gear accidentally as it is seems the same
th-cam.com/video/vj4dq_VIMio/w-d-xo.html
That video explains how to change gear, if you keep the gearstick to the left there should be no problem changing to second.
This is v helpful, thanks
+Seraphine Habimana Happy to help thank you 😊
Very clear
Thank you
Hi Dane, just wanna say I really love your videos and they’ve honestly helped me so much. From looking online about down shifting, a lot of people are saying that you should rev match, is that something you’d recommend?
Don't know what you mean by rev match, do you want to translate?
@@DaneTygheletsdrive basically, from what I’m understanding at least, it’s recommended that when down shifting gears you should clutch in, select the gear and then press the gas lightly, then release the clutch. Have you ever heard of this method? I personally have not and might have just confused myself by looking at this..
Even reading that comment makes me confused, for example if we followed this flawed logic then you would be accelerating on downhill junctions which is absolutely crazy. I would disregard whatever rubbish you heard about "rev matching" and focus on getting down the gears gradually aiming to hit 2nd gear approximately 20 metres from the junction. If you have any further questions please feel free to ask.
Thats usually for motorcycles not cars.
Great video
Thank you
Thanks for your very informative video Dane.
I have 2010 ford fiesta and It has this green arrow indication when to shift a gear. It's relatively early, every time I reach 2k rev. I feel that the car is still fine and can stay on lower gear a little bit longer (especially on 4th one). In this car 50kph is 5th gear. The arrow is a bit distracting and eventually forces me to go its way. I guess it's set up for very fuel efficient mode. Any advice?
That arrow is a useful guide but you can't be treating like the Gospel, whether you go up the gears should depend on what you see in front of you as opposed to a guideline from the car.
Can you go over speed bumps in 3rd gear in the test if it still goes over gently ?
Yes some of the smaller speed bumps are fine in 3rd
Dane, is it necessary to stop at the roundabout if it's clear on a driving test
No. Why would you stop?
Hello Dane, my question is do I need to move up to the highest gear if I decided to mentain a low speed of 40 or 50 for my journey
At that speed 4th gear is fine
I’ve read different things and just wondering, when stopping at lights can you stop in 3rd or should you stop in second or first ? Contradicting information in places? If you stop in 3rd would it be a fault in a test ?
I think it's better to stop in 2nd but it doesn't really matter as long as you maintain good control over the car, there's more than 1 way to skin a cat.
@@DaneTygheletsdrive great, thank you! Most of the time I get into 2 but sometimes the lights have changed to orange at a point that I can stop in time but just can’t get into 2 and end up coasting if I do but when I stop in 3 at that point it seems easier for those times.
You can stop in 3rd gear then go straight to first to prepare your take off. There is no one specific rule but a number of options are available.
Hi Dane thanks for these vids just one question, when coming down gears from 4th to 2nd or in general is this the correct approach? 1 brake until you reach speed suitable for second gear eg between 20-30
2 then put clutch down and use gearstick to go into second? Im a bit confused as sometimes J press clutch down and use gear stick during tthe braking, is this wrong? Many thanks
Braking is good as you are changing gear, it leads to more control on the downhill, this video explains
th-cam.com/video/s7QjfXslfm0/w-d-xo.html
is any harm to use accelator during gear change, specially hill up .
Accelator cause engine get more fuel ,
Problem in hill up for new driver it take time to switch time to put again accelator
No, you have to release the accelerator while changing gears so that the car does not rev up. If you do the gear change quickly it should help.
@@DaneTygheletsdrive
Thanks for your quick response.
70% cases during up hill I am able to change 1st to 2nd during up hill in normal way I.e
Remove leg from accelator change gear and agin quickly move leg to accelator
but some time few seconds delay to give accelato cause it stop if changing 1st to second durung up hill ,in plane & down hill no issue at all .
Then I was thinking during up hill do not remove my leg on accelator so during gear change rest 30% cases it will not stopped.
My friend in one car rnd division he told no harm as accelator cause more fuel goes in engine so durung up hill if you do same then no harm but he has no experience to drive car in hill area 😀
Meanwhile I am practicing after gear change quickly give accelator.
Best wishes
Is it possible to block change from gear 5 to gear two when approaching a roundabout from a 100 km speed limit road or would the clutch be down for too long while breaking. Would you recommend 5 to 3 then go to gear 2? Thank you
5 to 2 is possible but it is quite a jump and some cars may struggle with it. Probably best to go one by one slowing down early and gradually. 5 to 3 could be OK it just depends on the speed and the situation, try come off the clutch slowly for a smooth gear change.
Thank you 😊 I’ve been watching all your videos even 2 or 3 times while preparing for the driving test. Don’t have it for a while but still practicing in conjunction with your videos which have been a great help 😁
That's great, glad to help, thank you and best of luck with the driving test whenever it takes place 👍
Thanx.
You're welcome
Can we change up gears like releasing the clutch and adding gas in the same time like opposite ends of a see saw?
I don't know what you are saying
@@DaneTygheletsdrive hahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
As long as the engine doesn't over rev it'll be OK
@@DaneTygheletsdrive the question was: after we change a gear from 1st to 2nd is it ok to lift the clutch pedal and press the gas pedal in the same time like a see-saw instead of lifting the clutch and than press the gas? Do you understand now?
Well that makes a little bit more sense. The answer to your question is the same as I've already said - yes as long as the engine doesn't over rev. It should be fine to give it a bit of juice as the clutch is about 90% up.
hello very good lessons here what is the first lesson on manual cars
Get your learner permit and do the theory test
Hi dane, the car i have has 6 gears (yes quite old😂) so would the speed requirements be different depending on the gear if there’s 6 of them?
Not really, you can just go to 6th gear at around 85 or 90
Perfect, thanks so much for replying, your videos are really helping me prepare for my test!!
My pleasure, best of luck with the driving test.
Good man. *******

Some say 5 gear is for 45+ speed,and he says 5 gear is for 70+.I am confused
+Shreesh Shukla It's okay to be confused, don't worry about it too much, it depends on the car as not every single car is going to adhere to these guidelines. You have to be flexible and sensible, i think 45 is too early for gear 5 but if the car is able to handle it then it will be fine, if you go to 5th gear in my petrol car it would struggle. All cars are different - there is no single and simple answer. If it were that simple it would be no fun😁
Sir I drive Honda Jazz,1300 cc engine.What are the best gear selection for this one
+Shreesh Shukla 30km for 3rd gear, 50 4th and over 70 5th gear. I'm not familiar with your car so these are only general guidelines.
Thank you sir.
You are confused because he is talking in kmh instead of mph. Not his fault though.
Are you allowed to stop in 3rd gear if you don't have enough time?
Yes that's fine, no problem
I forget in what gear im
Try not to look down but it's ok to drop the hand down to check what position the gear stick is in - this should help.
What about a six gear car?
Use 6th gear if going over 80 or 90 km especially on a main road or motorway
What about the gas pedal, do you completely or partially release it during gear changing?
when u clutch u release gas at same time not before not after about the same time if not u will hear more engine raving if u do it slow if u do it faster u may feel more engine breaking so make sure to sync both gase and clutch (biting point disactivation ) .
+Shadowx Talion completely release the gas when changing gears otherwise the car will rev.
what u said works only on first gear and on diesel to be exact ,on petrol u do same but u do a bit of gas before biting point otherwise petrol will stall very easily without gas (diesel
is a lot forgiving at this point i mean it can move without gas easily)... other then first gear u don't hold biting u just release it normally ,u can do it super fast if u have a sport clutch just for mention ...
AB 27 there is only a biting point when you are moving off with the handbrake. When changing gears there is no biting point so basically just release the clutch the way I explained in order to engage the gear properly,then apply some acceleration if you want to build up some speed.
+AB 27 if Changing gears, no gas, clutch in fully, move the gear stick to the appropriate gear then release clutch slowly and finally give it some gas.
Do you have a Driving school?
Yes
If someone needs told not to go up a gear while going downhill, I really don't want to share the road with them
We're all learners to some degree
You never said any thing about Neutral when describing how to handle the gear stick...
Keyo Fires Yes maybe I left that out but it is covered in many other videos on moving off and in the commentary drive videos. In order to secure the car the driver should pull up the handbrake and then then go to neutral gear, you'll know its neutral when you can easily shake the gearstick from left to right. Check out this video th-cam.com/video/ou0dAon6dvE/w-d-xo.html
You explained really well but you could have illustrated what you have said
+Mohit Bagri well unfortunately I didn't necessarily have the time or tools at the time but I think I got the message across
When in doubt third gear is a reasonably safe option.
For what?
@@DaneTygheletsdrive when you're in between gears in unexpected driving situations I've had to slow quickly in traffic from 5th gear and 4th gear wouldn't have gave me enough acceleration to avoid the traffic behind me and second gear is too low
@@DaneTygheletsdrive sometimes you have to make quick decisions.
Yes in that context it makes sense to go to third, as you say sometimes quick decisions are required.
What gear should I use on a motorway ?
5th or 6th,depending on the speed
How to stick from 4th to 2nd?
I keep thinking to myself, why is this guy driving on the wrong side of the road.
Ha ha fair point 😀
The thumbnail is scary.
You must be another snowflake then, God they are everywhere!
@@DaneTygheletsdrive I was referring to the order of the gears on the shifter. And yes. I am a ❄️ 😄
Oh right I didn't realise 😔
I'm so glad I don't drive cars with the wheel on the right side...
I bet you are, that's quite a challenge if you're not used to it 😊
