I'm also a new driver who did lessons in a diesel and getting used to having my foot on the gas before raising the clutch has been a challenge in my petrol. This video is really insightful and helps me realize I'm not in a bubble with this issue so thank you 🙏🏿
Yeah, i drove a diesel car for 19 yrs. Now bought a petrol car an i have to learn to step a little on the gas before releasing the clutch. Now, after about 2 months of practice its getting a lot better. However i still have to concentrate when driving away.
Yeah it's inevitable for new drivers to make mistakes, but sometimes it gives unavoidable pressure when the driver behind you is getting impatient by continuously blowing horns, despite your "Caution: New Driver" sign at the back. As a new driver myself, I experience that a lot, almost every time. And I kept stalling because of that. Very inconsiderate. Forgetting they were once a novice.
To anyone who needs to hear this - you will overcome that feeling of stress. But don't stop driving a stick. It is great fun after 1-2 years of driving. And also if any stressful drivers are waving hand or smth, just wave him back with a smile on your face. Stick is more mature and safer to drive than automatic transmission. Never forget it. Much Love to all you learning to drive. ❤
arguably modern automatics are miles ahead of manual transmissions, dual clutch transmissions change gears faster and smoother than any manual could, obviously manual transmissions have certain advantages but for people who just use their cars to get from point a to point b automatics will 99% of the time be safer and more comfortable
@@yungface4572 autos are a game changer. I passed in manual but my first car is an auto. Drives stunningly. I’ll only drive manual if I have to but not by choice
Yeah you can say that again when I driver my instructors diesel I'm chill and drive well never have a problem but when I practice in my mums petrol mini which as she says you have to be very aggressive with the clutch I stall all the time because I'm just not used to the amount of revs you have to put in and that u lift the cluth to quickly when setting off
@@afriendlycadian9857 I guess your main issue is that youre used to taking off from first gear with just the clutch in a diesel. You need to add a bit of gas in a petrol car before lifting the clutch, you can do this even when the clutch is all the way down. You absolutely do not have to lift the clutch quickly, just make sure to rev it up sufficiently before you lift it. Do it this way and you will never stall again :)
thats the comment i'v had to read. im a new driver just got my kia picanto 2014 manual and im being ok with it just stalling once - twice a week at least. gonna learn it much more!
Moving off quickly from the stationary position on traffic signals is quite challenging for new drivers and if the engine stalls that is more worse, I think the experience drivers following learner drive behind should always give chance
@@scapingbyso much better now. No longer stalling, only sometimes a bit jerky cause I released the clutch a bit early. Still learning to make it smoother
My daughter had the same problem, on one occasion she came to the top of a hill to traffic lights which turned red and she had cars behind her she got very anxious and kept stalling. I eventually changed places but to be fair the cars behind were very patient and appeared to fully understand, we've all been there.
Thank you Chris for the video of how not to stall. I rarely stall but if I stall especially my car is petrol, I get really flustered and I don’t know how to keep my frustration level down and trying my best to stay calm as much as possible.😔
Hey, brother Chris, thanks so much for your amazing work. I had a very torrid time & suffered a loss of confidence and humiliation on the road as new driver before I discovered your channel. But now slowly getting better and better all thanks your amazing explanation & demonstration. much love from RSA 🇿🇦
These videos are great, thank you. I still feel like I'm going to die before every driving lesson but it's good to be reminded that it won't feel like this forever
Hi! Now, let's talk about that nerve-racking pre-driving lesson anxiety. Trust us, most people start off feeling nervous behind the wheel. But fear not! 💪 With each lesson, you'll gain more confidence. Remember, even the most seasoned drivers had their fair share of nerves back in the day. The secret sauce is perseverance and a dash of patience. So, soak in all the knowledge these videos offer, embrace the thrill of learning, and keep reminding yourself that this fear is just a temporary pit stop on your journey to becoming a brilliant, safe driver! 🛡️🔥 Keep watching, keep learning, and most importantly, keep believing in yourself.
I passed my test first time with only 1 minor a couple days ago and your channel was easily one of the biggest things that helped me pass. I watched damn near all of your videos lol, and they really help. Also, your voice is very nice.
@@bushrahsadiq3063 did it twice today! Well, 3 if you count the double at the red light 😅 I'm sure I'll get the hang of it. Going to keep my eyes on the rpm counter next time I drive, see if that helps. Still a bit frustrating now though. Have you managed?
@@HierIsJesse haven't passed yet but I practice In my mums old petrol mini which you have to be quite aggressive with the clutch I do stall it pretty badly sometimes, but the thing that helps massively is not looking at the rev counter but listening to the engine and keeping your eyes glued to the road and looking around a great skill to pick up as I found watching the rev counter makes you more nervous and you don't pay attention to the road as much also as it was said in the video don't lift the clutch to quickly lift and hold till moving then lift, only saving grace I have is in my test next week is that it's diesel that I'll be driving and clutch etc is smooth and soft in a way
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment! It truly means a lot to me to hear that the videos have helped you as a new driver and have contributed to alleviating some of your anxiety on the road. As a fellow driver, I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to navigate the roads for the first time. Remember, driving is a skill that improves with practice, so don't be too hard on yourself if you make a mistake. Just take it as a learning opportunity and continue to work towards becoming a confident and safe driver 🙂
Thank you very much for the informational, and calming video. I've been driving automatic transmittion for over 4 years now, and started learning how to drive manual. It's rough, especially that im used to not worry about driving and it being a casual thing. This video really helped me realize its fine, and eventually ill learn and this will also become natural.
It's great to hear that you're taking the leap from automatic to manual transmission! Changing gears can be difficult at first, especially when you're used to the ease of automatic driving. But guess what? You've already conquered four years of auto magic, so I have no doubt that you'll rock the manual world too! Remember, learning something new is all about embracing the challenges. It's totally normal to feel a bit out of your comfort zone. But with persistence, practice, and a sprinkle of patience, you'll soon find yourself smoothly sailing through those gear changes and using the clutch like a pro. So keep that positive mindset, and trust the process. Before you know it, driving a manual will be as effortless as driving an automatic. You've got this!
Great video as always Chris (i always recommend your very educational channel to everyone i talk to whos learning to drive) or drivers like myself who just need some very imformative and useful tips with their ongoing driving experience... keep them coming chris take good care carolx
Tomorrow's my driving test and Im pretty nervous, going through some videos just to remember the basics and hopefully be lucky enough to pass the test!
I’m learning how to drive and I feel that this video was exactly made for me as I do all possible reasons to stall mentioned in this video 😅🙈 Thanks Chris, I’m working on trying not to stall during my practice these days and your videos are really helpful.
Hello chirs, Good thing to tell that your Videos helped me how to clutch control apart from driving lesson with my instructor. I passed my test last day with 4 mirrors. Felling good as passed as first attempt. Watching ur Videos since January when took theory test. Thanks a lot Buddy 😑
Yeah I agree,my first time driving,I thought that my instructor would take me to a quiet wide place for me to practice moving tha car forward and how to clutch properly(I mean I knew how to use clutch and my dad had a 2008 Mitsubishi GLX and I would say that I always knew how to move the car and the surprising thing about that car,it had an old system where in order to start the engine,you didn't have to press the clutch pedal so I kinda grew on that.anyways)I thought the teacher would teach me the basics again but nope he made me drive in traffic for like 30-45mins drive and I never did a lesson before and never knew what to expect but now,it's just the stalling prob that remains forever but happens less frequently
This was such a lovely watch. I totally related to reason 4 for stalling. I am so grateful for your videos Chris. Thank you for all the valuable advice!
Hiya mate im currently doing my lessons(bit old at 50 so got a mind set i need to ignore from what i think i know) 35 hrs in now and still struggling these videos are helping somewhat keep it up 👍🙂
2:50 Learned in and passed my driving exam in a shiny new diesel Mercedes and now I've got to drive around in a 10 year old Fiat, I never even noticed that you had to press the gas-pedal when driving off
Great video I passed me test got a car and and i keep stalling all the time .. I learnt were put clutch down the car moves ans then on gas . But I watch this video and soon as I put the revs up first then clutch it had worked a treat still nedd to practice it but this video save me cause I was ready to give up
Hi there! Thank you so much for watching the video and for taking the time to leave such a kind comment. I'm so glad to hear that the video was able to help you with your stalling issue and that you're feeling more confident behind the wheel now. Remember, practice makes perfect, so keep at it and don't give up! Happy driving! :)
I've been driving for 7 years had an accident and had to get a new car. I've gone from a 1.2 to a 1 liter. The one liter needs way more rev than my 1.2 needed, this helped I think a lot of it is in my head as to why I'm not driving it as well as I can..
I feel very similar. Passed in a diesel and actually very rarely stalled as a learner driver. When we got our petrol car, I was constantly stalling and my confidence has gone through the floor. I tried to do a hill start and just could do it. I totally freaked out - my friend had to take over and now I can't face any kind of hill or slope because I'm too scared!
This is why I prefer Diesel cos they are easier to drive. I’ve passed my driving test and my car is petrol and it’s a 2.0. A lot of people say. It’s your right foot is the problem. But actually it’s your left foot is the problem because the clutch drives the car not the accelerator but not enough revs. When I’m learning to drive with my dad and it’s the Skoda Fabia 1.4. I keep revving so high to move off up to about 4500 rpm on the flat road or uphill but that’s way too much as I keep stalling it. In mine which is a VW Golf, I hardly give any revs but I stall sometimes in mine and my frustration level builds up and knocks my momentum down.
I have my license for about 7 months and got my first car for 4 months, and obviously as you mentioned - I did the school on diesel, and my car is an old petrol, without hill assist or stuff like that! Hill starts, up or down, always make me anxious and afraid I won't make it (as I had some traumatizing experiences with this situation :)) ), and on the most steep ones, I always rev the car way too much (i guess over 3000 rpm) out of fear and stress, also the gas pedal is very sensitive compared to other cars I drove so even if I think I press gently, the revs just go crazy. Now I am worried I might damage the car, not only stall or roll back...ughh
Thank you it’s exactly what I needed Ti hear an calm voice explaining and talking about what’s my biggest worry for now,in 4 weeks I have my 1 driving test and when I’m in quite rounds or roundabouts I’m very good as son as it get busy my anxiety make me fell like I’m in my first lessons.and now I’m scared and worried that I’m gone fail because of that 😐
Pinned by World Driving @worlddriving This video is very helpful since I still have a hard time driving a petrol car. In my 5 years of driving a manual diesel pickup truck, I rarely experienced stalling but since my company issued me a small 1.2-liter petrol car, I'm still on my adjustment period. The clutch is too soft for me, I always experience stalling and full stops especially in stop light traffic situations and also hill starting, the other day coming from a hill stop I almost crashed into the car behind me luckily I stepped on the brakes.
I swearrrr this is life changing!! I learned to drive with my instructor but he never told me to use gas before the clutch. I didn’t even know this was possible😅 So with my car I stall a lot and it makes me so nervous and I lost all of my confidence.. I wanted to give up driving🥲 But this wants me to try it again Thankyou so much 🫶🏼
I'm pleased to hear that you found the explanation useful! Don't worry, with practice, those stalls will become a thing of the past. Keep at it, and soon you'll be driving smoothly in your petrol car.
@@worlddriving I drove afterwards and felt much more confident. Managed to not stall at all. It's only my third day of driving my car. Just passed recently. :)
Could you please do an inner city drive where lot of junctions with streets in lefts and right and cars parked? I am always worried how to look and when to stop like, with brake alone or together with clutch and gear change. Thank you for this wonderful video. It really helps
@@worlddriving Thank you for all your videos i have managed to drive manual perfectally. At one point i hated it and wanted to switch to auto. But i found all your videos and practiced and it made me build my confidence again. There is just one video i request you demonstrate is the reverse bay parking as im always confused we call it ally docking in south africa. i have went through your videos on it but can you one again thank you.
I'm a new subscriber to this channel. This is insightful video, please accept my sincere gratitude for your videos and guidance, I'm underdoing a PDC (Practical Driving Course) this week so its very helpful to me (and to all new drivers out there) to learn before I start PDC or driving on the road. 🥰🙇♂
about 16 hours of lessons, only stalling about 3-4 times a lesson, probably not giving it enough gas. will try this next lesson and hopefully get it down to 0-1 a lesson, thanks.
I've moved off in 3rd gear a few times by accident. Genuinely felt like I put it in first gear, so I lift the clutch and the car starts shaking. It didn't stall because I gave it a lot of gas and lifted the clutch slowly like I always do. I was like 'that's weird' and try to put it into second gear. And then notice it's already in third. How it didn't stall is a wonder to me because it's a slow little petrol car
Hmm, i am struggling with intermittent stalling. Its the stalling that is affecting my confidence not the busy roads. Its a vicious circle and i want to sort it out. It doesn't help that the car i am learning in seems to hate first gear- if you pull away in first it revs like mad until you get into 2nd , which you have to as soon as possible and that in the back of your mind is off putting too. I really want to drive consistently well.
You usually do not need to accelerate that much in first gear. It is a start gear and a slow maneuvering gear. Just use it to get moving. If you have the engine at 1200- 1500 rpm you can do the shift to second gear the instant the clutch is synchronized (no slip). This takes only about 3-4 car lengths.
I've just got my drivers license, and is currently driving my dads diesel car, and I found that gas before clutch makes it stall 94% of the time, and I have tested it with 1000 - 2000 rpm
i did in fact get an older petrol car, when i move off on a hill, i can do it without a hand break but for whatever reason i need to have my clutch way past the biting point and very slowly, if i do that i can move off on a hill without the handbrake but its just really slow. here in belgium however, they want you to move off without a handbreak during your exam, so im a bit scared to do that when i drive with my car
I have been driving for over 24 years, although you would not have thought so, had you witnessed my driving these past two weeks. I have had an old Corsa 1.4 for many years but 2 weeks ago, I bought a Aygo that has a small engine. I have stalled the car at every traffic light and even when driving to the end of a road. I am jerky and rev up too much. I just cant seem to drive this little car. Once again, yesterday, I stalled as the lights turned green and everyone was tooting which made me feel ten times worse. I cant stop stalling and the clutch on this Aygo seems much higher up. I now have left car at home today and got a bus as i just dont want to get in the car..
I learned in a diesel and was literally taught to move off using damn clutch, now i'm confused about petrol cars, but perhaps someone can clarify? So when pulling off in 1st, I need to apply and hold the gas to around 1500RPM (For flats, more for hills), and with the accelerator lightly pressed, I then need to release the clutch to the bite point and we have a go? maintain the bite point for a few seconds to not stall and apply more gas for moving is it that simple or am I missing a step, what about the footbrake in this? or should I be using the handbrake whenever possible when needed
Crawl pace in moving traffic clutch control and gear is a common stall. I coast in 2nd gear (habit more than anything) if its abit more than 10mph and the speed of traffic picks up
i started to learn driving a petrol car then now happen to use a diesel car but i can't see any difference in moving off skills as i always give little bit of gas to start..
Today whilst driving to work I drove my new car fine, but driving back I kept stalling the car. Not sure if I was tired or just forgetting to rev, but it’s hard to stop the new driver nerves from telling me I can’t drive 😅
Hey! It’s totally normal to experience new driver nerves, but don’t worry too much! 😊 Driving a new car can feel different, and it’s common to have some ups and downs as you get used to it. Stalling happens to many drivers, even experienced ones, from time to time. Try not to be too hard on yourself! Take breaks when needed, and remember that practice makes perfect. The more you drive your new car, the more comfortable you’ll become with it. Stay positive, trust in your abilities, and those nerves will gradually fade away. You’ve already driven your new car fine before, so you’ve got the skills! Keep at it, and soon enough, driving will feel like second nature. Safe travels! 🚗
Thanks Chris, stalling's my biggest hurdle in driving. It's usually because of coming off the clutch too quickly. I have quite large feet which doesn't help, slightly easier with trainers than work shoes. Do you know of a specific make/style of shoe that you would recommend for driving?
This is what happening to me now I stall continuously and goes panicking‘I get my drivers license this September and I’m struggling now to drive my new car it seems different from the car where I learned driving ‘now I’m desperate and asking my self why did they gave me my drivers license if I cannot drive my own car now’I’m loosing my self confidence and get scary to drive alone my car’what can I do’I have to beg my friends to accompany me to drive😢
Dear Chris, Thanks so much for these videos. They are very helpful. I have a doubt though. My instructor gets very frustrated at me if I press the clutch at any time before the speed is
Stopping without pressing the clutch Moving off in the wrong gear Changing up to the wrong gear Releasing the clutch too soon when moving off Moving off without enough gas Lack of confidence or feeling anxious
I here you stipulate that it is quite easy to move off without setting the gas in a diesel car. Am I still eligible to set the gas while slipping the clutch in it just like in a petrol car?
I feel like people in the UK who are behind you would be much more forgiving than here in middle America. It’s not uncommon for other drivers to be so pissed off they ditch where they were going just to follow and harass you.
my driving instructor told me that bad drivers rev the engine by putting gas first. he said it should be biting point first then gas. so what my instructor said was wrong
Never fails I'll pull up to a speed hump moving towards a parking lot i either have to accelerate or stall there's no gray area. How do I not roll back when braking towards a parking lot with a drain incline? I gas it or stall seems to struggle with the bite "
If this video helped, then please show your love by giving it a like and subscribing really helps us make more.

Learned in and passed my driving exam in a shiny new diesel Mercedes and now I've got to drive around in a 10 year old Fiat, I never even noticed that you had to press the gas-pedal when driving off
Great video I passed me test got a car and and i keep stalling all the time .. I learnt were put clutch down the car moves ans then on gas . But I watch this video and soon as I put the revs up first then clutch it had worked a treat still nedd to practice it but this video save me cause I was ready to give up
Hi there! Thank you so much for watching the video and for taking the time to leave such a kind comment. I'm so glad to hear that the video was able to help you with your stalling issue and that you're feeling more confident behind the wheel now. Remember, practice makes perfect, so keep at it and don't give up!
Happy driving! :)
I've been driving for 7 years had an accident and had to get a new car. I've gone from a 1.2 to a 1 liter. The one liter needs way more rev than my 1.2 needed, this helped I think a lot of it is in my head as to why I'm not driving it as well as I can..
Was the accident ur fault?
very usefull videos, keep the good work going :) cheers !
Never been this early 😅 this channel's awesome keep up the great work!!
Thanks for watching 👍
thank you so much, ill tell this to my dad, he keeps stalling on roads which go up very steep
This is amazing! Thanks so much for uploading!
Appreciate you watching :)
Thank you so muchhh.. What a wonderful way of explaining the most common problem with new drivers.
Stalling driving a petrol car stole my confidence and made me abandon driving. I learnt and passed driving using a diesel car.
I feel very similar. Passed in a diesel and actually very rarely stalled as a learner driver. When we got our petrol car, I was constantly stalling and my confidence has gone through the floor. I tried to do a hill start and just could do it. I totally freaked out - my friend had to take over and now I can't face any kind of hill or slope because I'm too scared!
This is why I prefer Diesel cos they are easier to drive. I’ve passed my driving test and my car is petrol and it’s a 2.0. A lot of people say. It’s your right foot is the problem. But actually it’s your left foot is the problem because the clutch drives the car not the accelerator but not enough revs. When I’m learning to drive with my dad and it’s the Skoda Fabia 1.4. I keep revving so high to move off up to about 4500 rpm on the flat road or uphill but that’s way too much as I keep stalling it. In mine which is a VW Golf, I hardly give any revs but I stall sometimes in mine and my frustration level builds up and knocks my momentum down.
I have my license for about 7 months and got my first car for 4 months, and obviously as you mentioned - I did the school on diesel, and my car is an old petrol, without hill assist or stuff like that! Hill starts, up or down, always make me anxious and afraid I won't make it (as I had some traumatizing experiences with this situation :)) ), and on the most steep ones, I always rev the car way too much (i guess over 3000 rpm) out of fear and stress, also the gas pedal is very sensitive compared to other cars I drove so even if I think I press gently, the revs just go crazy. Now I am worried I might damage the car, not only stall or roll back...ughh
Hey! I'm currently in the exact same situation. Considering it's been a few months since you posted this comment - did it get any better?
Thank you it’s exactly what I needed Ti hear an calm voice explaining and talking about what’s my biggest worry for now,in 4 weeks I have my 1 driving test and when I’m in quite rounds or roundabouts I’m very good as son as it get busy my anxiety make me fell like I’m in my first lessons.and now I’m scared and worried that I’m gone fail because of that 😐
Wish you all the best with your driving test :)

@worlddriving This video is very helpful since I still have a hard time driving a petrol car. In my 5 years of driving a manual diesel pickup truck, I rarely experienced stalling but since my company issued me a small 1.2-liter petrol car, I'm still on my adjustment period. The clutch is too soft for me, I always experience stalling and full stops especially in stop light traffic situations and also hill starting, the other day coming from a hill stop I almost crashed into the car behind me luckily I stepped on the brakes.
I swearrrr this is life changing!!
I learned to drive with my instructor but he never told me to use gas before the clutch. I didn’t even know this was possible😅
So with my car I stall a lot and it makes me so nervous and I lost all of my confidence.. I wanted to give up driving🥲
But this wants me to try it again
Thankyou so much 🫶🏼
Much love from South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤ 💙 ♥
Appreciate you watching from South Africa 👍
This is so useful and well explained. Ill hopefully stop stalling so much in my petrol car.
I'm pleased to hear that you found the explanation useful! Don't worry, with practice, those stalls will become a thing of the past. Keep at it, and soon you'll be driving smoothly in your petrol car.
@@worlddriving I drove afterwards and felt much more confident. Managed to not stall at all. It's only my third day of driving my car. Just passed recently. :)
hi cris.. i learned alot on your videos.. new driver here.. and i love your voice😊
Hey! Thanks for your nice comment 👍
Could you please do an inner city drive where lot of junctions with streets in lefts and right and cars parked? I am always worried how to look and when to stop like, with brake alone or together with clutch and gear change. Thank you for this wonderful video. It really helps
Hi! This video might help th-cam.com/video/YxjmpUI0o_c/w-d-xo.html
@@worlddriving Thank you for all your videos i have managed to drive manual perfectally. At one point i hated it and wanted to switch to auto. But i found all your videos and practiced and it made me build my confidence again. There is just one video i request you demonstrate is the reverse bay parking as im always confused we call it ally docking in south africa. i have went through your videos on it but can you one again thank you.
@@worlddriving thanks a ton. I haven't found it although I searched with different keywords.
I find your videos really helpful. Thank you
Pleased the videos helped. Thanks for watching 🙂
I'm a new subscriber to this channel. This is insightful video, please accept my sincere gratitude for your videos and guidance, I'm underdoing a PDC (Practical Driving Course) this week so its very helpful to me (and to all new drivers out there) to learn before I start PDC or driving on the road. 🥰🙇♂
about 16 hours of lessons, only stalling about 3-4 times a lesson, probably not giving it enough gas. will try this next lesson and hopefully get it down to 0-1 a lesson, thanks.
Love you so much Chris for this video 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Really a nice vedio both technically and morally
Appreciate you watching :)
stalling literally caused me painful headaches :,) the struggle is real.
I've moved off in 3rd gear a few times by accident. Genuinely felt like I put it in first gear, so I lift the clutch and the car starts shaking. It didn't stall because I gave it a lot of gas and lifted the clutch slowly like I always do. I was like 'that's weird' and try to put it into second gear. And then notice it's already in third. How it didn't stall is a wonder to me because it's a slow little petrol car
Love frm India ❤️thanx a lot
Appreciate you watching from India 👍
Im struggling driving a diesel after passing in a petrol 😮 new ball game this bad boy.
2:50 I'm learning to drive and will have my test in opel corsa from 97 :D
Thanks Chris.. Really I need this I Los my confidence I hate the petrol cars.. 😭
Hmm, i am struggling with intermittent stalling. Its the stalling that is affecting my confidence not the busy roads. Its a vicious circle and i want to sort it out. It doesn't help that the car i am learning in seems to hate first gear- if you pull away in first it revs like mad until you get into 2nd , which you have to as soon as possible and that in the back of your mind is off putting too. I really want to drive consistently well.
You usually do not need to accelerate that much in first gear. It is a start gear and a slow maneuvering gear. Just use it to get moving. If you have the engine at 1200- 1500 rpm you can do the shift to second gear the instant the clutch is synchronized (no slip). This takes only about 3-4 car lengths.
@@kristofferrydquist8384 thanks, my comment above was 4 weeks ago and I am getting a lot better now 👍😊
I've just got my drivers license, and is currently driving my dads diesel car, and I found that gas before clutch makes it stall 94% of the time, and I have tested it with 1000 - 2000 rpm
Thanks 🙏
i did in fact get an older petrol car, when i move off on a hill, i can do it without a hand break but for whatever reason i need to have my clutch way past the biting point and very slowly, if i do that i can move off on a hill without the handbrake but its just really slow. here in belgium however, they want you to move off without a handbreak during your exam, so im a bit scared to do that when i drive with my car
I have been driving for over 24 years, although you would not have thought so, had you witnessed my driving these past two weeks. I have had an old Corsa 1.4 for many years but 2 weeks ago, I bought a Aygo that has a small engine. I have stalled the car at every traffic light and even when driving to the end of a road. I am jerky and rev up too much. I just cant seem to drive this little car. Once again, yesterday, I stalled as the lights turned green and everyone was tooting which made me feel ten times worse. I cant stop stalling and the clutch on this Aygo seems much higher up. I now have left car at home today and got a bus as i just dont want to get in the car..
Brilliant 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
As a new driver I wouldn't be able to cope with that roundabout...
YOU'RE THE BEST
I learned in a diesel and was literally taught to move off using damn clutch, now i'm confused about petrol cars, but perhaps someone can clarify?
So when pulling off in 1st, I need to apply and hold the gas to around 1500RPM (For flats, more for hills), and with the accelerator lightly pressed, I then need to release the clutch to the bite point and we have a go? maintain the bite point for a few seconds to not stall and apply more gas for moving is it that simple or am I missing a step, what about the footbrake in this? or should I be using the handbrake whenever possible when needed
You are the best !
Crawl pace in moving traffic clutch control and gear is a common stall. I coast in 2nd gear (habit more than anything) if its abit more than 10mph and the speed of traffic picks up
i started to learn driving a petrol car then now happen to use a diesel car but i can't see any difference in moving off skills as i always give little bit of gas to start..
Today whilst driving to work I drove my new car fine, but driving back I kept stalling the car. Not sure if I was tired or just forgetting to rev, but it’s hard to stop the new driver nerves from telling me I can’t drive 😅
Hey! It’s totally normal to experience new driver nerves, but don’t worry too much! 😊 Driving a new car can feel different, and it’s common to have some ups and downs as you get used to it. Stalling happens to many drivers, even experienced ones, from time to time.
Try not to be too hard on yourself! Take breaks when needed, and remember that practice makes perfect. The more you drive your new car, the more comfortable you’ll become with it. Stay positive, trust in your abilities, and those nerves will gradually fade away. You’ve already driven your new car fine before, so you’ve got the skills! Keep at it, and soon enough, driving will feel like second nature. Safe travels! 🚗
Thanks Chris, stalling's my biggest hurdle in driving. It's usually because of coming off the clutch too quickly. I have quite large feet which doesn't help, slightly easier with trainers than work shoes. Do you know of a specific make/style of shoe that you would recommend for driving?
Thank you somuch for sharing
This is what happening to me now I stall continuously and goes panicking‘I get my drivers license this September and I’m struggling now to drive my new car it seems different from the car where I learned driving ‘now I’m desperate and asking my self why did they gave me my drivers license if I cannot drive my own car now’I’m loosing my self confidence and get scary to drive alone my car’what can I do’I have to beg my friends to accompany me to drive😢
Very informative useful video super
Best advice thank you
Thanks for watching 🙂
When I get my license I’m coming back here to thank you
Dear Chris, Thanks so much for these videos. They are very helpful. I have a doubt though. My instructor gets very frustrated at me if I press the clutch at any time before the speed is
Stopping without pressing the clutch
Moving off in the wrong gear
Changing up to the wrong gear
Releasing the clutch too soon when moving off
Moving off without enough gas
Lack of confidence or feeling anxious
thanks a lot.
4:00 this is why im confused my instructor keeps making me do bite point first then gas unlike you
Thanks man.
No problem!
Thank youuu so much 💖
Thank you 🙏❤️
Appreciate you watching 🙂
I here you stipulate that it is quite easy to move off without setting the gas in a diesel car. Am I still eligible to set the gas while slipping the clutch in it just like in a petrol car?
Don’t forget…your instructor is next to you. “Swear - Shout” 😱
I feel like people in the UK who are behind you would be much more forgiving than here in middle America. It’s not uncommon for other drivers to be so pissed off they ditch where they were going just to follow and harass you.
Is it okay to hold the clutch like that in first gear while waiting to move forward?
Thank you my kneega
Mine shouts at me 😭 and he keeps saying “this is not nice”💀
Yes my instructors car is a new diesel and mine is an old petrol and without much gas i stall 😂
my driving instructor told me that bad drivers rev the engine by putting gas first. he said it should be biting point first then gas. so what my instructor said was wrong
Yes, check the DVSA book Driving The Essential Skills.
I got my first driving lesson today, feeling very nervous.
Hope it went well :)
@@worlddriving It went pretty well, thank you for the videos, really helped me out :)
Does stalling damage the car ?
First like and comment🌝✨💯
Never fails I'll pull up to a speed hump moving towards a parking lot i either have to accelerate or stall there's no gray area.
How do I not roll back when braking towards a parking lot with a drain incline?
I gas it or stall seems to struggle with the bite "
Even experience drivers stall cars is that true. Is that true
My dad taught me wrong then. He said to get to the biting point then give it gas, fk man 1 hr I was stalling and a few times got it off.
