How many of you watching this video just lying on bed like me? 🤣
Here i am😂
Sorry I'm sitting into toilet 😊
i jst see the comment..but I too on bed..
I saw ur comment and said "wtf" out loud lmao😂
Me man 😂😂😂😂
I’ve had my drivers licence for 10 years, with only about 50k km under my belt, and I have to say I find these quite helpful. Thank you, sir!
Hi, can i buy your car? :D
@@KaedeHot bought my car 3 months ago with 70K .kM .. car is from 2001..The first owner
😂
@@KaedeHotgotta take the shot right😂
50k in 10 years
My instructor tries to teach me, from lesson 1, to multifocus and multitask. I hate this. I already have enough anxiety as it is, but being expected to multitask like that is the worst
same 😢 agree
This man is a great teacher and appears to be patient with learners.
My first driving test attempt went awfully wrong because I was afraid of stalling and also keeping the car slow. After watching a couple of your videos it's like a a hidden switch was activated in me. My second attempt the examiner said that was her best drive of the day.
This video is another good example of how clear and easy you make your lessons/videos. I still watch even after passing 👌
I kept stalling and I felt embarrassed😔
I'm so happy to hear the videos helped. Thank you watching and congratulations on passing!
I don't know if anyone else feels the same, but I find your videos so helpful, and they always kinda come at a time when I need to know something, or just that deeper explanation helps me understand what I'm doing, and why im meant to be doing it, - its like they're made for me! lol :)
totally dude Im in the same boat. I thought I had everything down well because I was pretty smooth but I’m always learning more from this guy that I think about while driving
@@Unaboner he is very good at explaining in a relatable, memorable and sometimes funny way :) Love it !
Same. 😁😁😁
Feel same too
Doctor obvious
Literally just touched a steering wheel and the pedals for the first time yesterday, it was absolutely terrifying. Moving off was really hard because, obviously, my clutch control isn’t great. This video was really helpful!
I’m 29 and just learning to drive now . Your videos are awesome and have been a great help. I wish I could take lessons and my test from you , you’re exactly the type of person new drivers need. Great job mate 👍🏻
I am 28 and just now learning to drive myself, it's nice hearing that someone else is older and just learning - makes me feel more comfortable.
I just turned 29 and bought a manual car, getting better day by day
Thanks for sharing your age because I'm older than the minimum age required to get a driving license and I feel like I'm the only one who's waited so long. It's good to know I'm not the only one :)
@@rheatailor1081 bro you will be happy with a stick. I had my car two weeks now and just keeps getting easier and more fun
@@johnnytran777 that's awesome! Happy to hear it man 😁
I've learnt more from you than from my driving instructor. Learning to drive at 55 wasn’t easy, but Richard Fanders and Pin Binning videos assured me that I too can do and I learnt driving after 40 hours struggle, fear, worry, now I easily drive in the highways or busy streets of Calcutta without any difficulty.
I still watch these videos, my learning isn’t complete, learning anything always remains incomplete.
It's great to hear the videos have helped! Thank you for watching and congratulations on learning to drive.
I just got a car to practice and it’s so different from my instructors! I struggled to keep it slow to park and stuff 😭 learning to drive is proving harder than I thought
I would've really struggled if I was learning and practicing in 2 different cars. The clutch and break can be or feel entirely different across cars so it may be making it harder for you like it would me. I learned in an i20 and now drive a Fiesta and it took about a week of getting used to the different feeling of the car.
Have patience, try not to drive the car on the road in traffic until you have had sufficient time to learn the controls. All cars are a bit different but when you're experienced and drive many it gets easier to switch.
@@sweater3008 yeah I’m learning in a very new Vauxhall corsa, and my Suzuki alto 2011 feels like the clutch is much higher and response differently. I need lots of practice in mine.
@@ConquerDriving thank you man :) I will do!
iv been getting lessons in a modern clio, about to get my own 2005 KA for practice... wish me luck XD
This video helped me pass my manual driving test in one attempt. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After 12 driving lessons, this video answered why I kept jerking while moving away in traffic.
I have driven auto cars for 13 years but I felt disappointed when I couldn't fix my manual driving stalling problems.
I realize now that my instructor needs to learn from you that the best practice is to lift your foot when getting to the biting point, combined with a few gas pedals, especially for people with a short foot like me.
I love your videos so much. You have a way to explain it clearly. I've been driving for 20 years, with the last 10 months driving manual. It's been a bumpy ride, but thanks to your videos it all makes sense! Thank you!
I've been driving for 12 years but I still enjoy watching your videos!
This has been so useful thank you! I bought my first car, a manual, having only driven my parents automatic for 7 years and have been struggling with clutch control after so long but this is so clear and helpful and reassures me that I can master it with practice so thank you! 🚙
i've had my license for about a year now and shifting has never really been a problem and i've driven all kinds of cars. But this week i bought my first car and had alot of trouble pulling away. I thought it was a clutch issue but really the problem was me keeping my heel planted on the floormats like my instructor taught me. Idk why i literally never tried lifting my foot but it resolved the problem and probably saved me alot of money bringing it to the shop. Thank you.
I just love and how warm, calm, and kind your energy is. Your students are extremely lucky, and even we, who came across your videos, are lucky. I want to say that I appreciate a lot the effort and time you put to teach and guide us ,it means a lot, and it helps a ton. Thank you sincerely.
I got busy parents so learning to drive was difficult, but then I found this channel then everything became so much more easier to understand. Thank you Sir!!
I’ve just passed my test today! I’ve been watching your videos the past week gaining my confidence by recapping knowledge and your videos have helped me so so much! I have such bad drivers anxiety and am so happy I’ve finally done it! Thankyou for all your virtual help :)
That's fantastic to hear, thank you for watching the videos and congratulations on passing. This video may be of interest: th-cam.com/video/IoLPvEc-0IQ/w-d-xo.html
I have my test in four dayssss
@@evabaker2231 how did it go?
You are a great teacher, I have never learned clutch control from my instructor, but now I got pretty much an idea to control the clutch.
Thanks for teaching,, much love ,, 💟 From Uganda 🇺🇬,, THE PEARL OF AFRICA 🌍
i’ve just turned 18 and i’ve been getting driving lessons for a few months now. I’ve always struggled with clutch control but this video has really made it clear to me and i finally started to improve after this video!! Thank you!!
This guy is a great help when it comes to learning a stick shift.. Thank you.. Stay blessed
In the Uk having a manual car is the norm but auto is slowly taking over
I passed my test on a diesel earlier this earlier, and just now got my own car, which is a petrol, and this video helped me immensely to muster up the courage to give it a go! You make learning how to drive not be a nightmare!
i learned in a civic type r , and idk for me i liked it cause it shows which gear you’re in , it helped me a lot
Been watching these videos to help me teach another driver to drive manual and the part about staying slow is probably THE most important part I didn't think about, especially for parking so you don't ram into a curb.
By far the most comprehensive and easy to follow video on clutch use. Thank you so much, I learned a lot from this.
Man i just recently learned basic driving and got the license and your videos help very much in mastering the aspects of driving without harming the car and it honestly makes so much more fun to drive ,When u know what ur doing .
Got my first driving lesson on Thursday and have been going out with my dad recently to get used to drivers seat. Your videos are helping me so much! Makes so much more sense and I find using the clutch so much easier now after listening to you
I just had my first one today, after my passing my theory test just last week
Wow! That tip about not to put our heel down was actually what I was looking for as I've always been struggling with the clutch padal
Thank you very much mate❤️
I passed my driving exam last 2 weeks...I am in Germany and your videos helped me ALOT...i still watch your videos even though i passed on first try...because your videos are a lifetime saviour 😃
I've been driving an automatic transmission since i was 25 years. Now in my late thirties and trying to learn how to drive a manual transmission and i've been watching your videos lately, and i must say they are more helpful than my instructor. Thank you!
Hi there Richard.
Just wanted to deliver a massive thank you to yourself for all the incredible help and support from your videos. I was fortunate enough to pass second time yesterday having overcome huge mental barriers and anxiety from failing the first time around. Your videos not only delivered really comprehensive breakdowns in a simplified, easy to understand format but your light he#rated sense of humour helped to carry me through and pass! Keep it up my friend and take care,
Jack
Light hearted*
That's really great to hear, thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
This guy is the basically the freesciencelessons lad but for driving
Damn he actually is but I hate the freesciencelessons guy. Cognito is better
I appreciate this man's distinctive combination of quirkiness and informative content; it's truly refreshing. Although I'm no stranger to manual transmissions, my confidence extends primarily to regular road conditions.
Recently, I bought a new truck, requiring me to navigate more challenging environments, including extreme conditions on mountain roads. So, I understand that I need to upgrade my skill set. These videos have proven to be exceptionally helpful.
This was very helpful! By the time i start driving I want to learn how to drive a manual as soon as I can. Even though many cars here in the US are automatic, it is still a very useful skill to have.
This is the best Demo I've watched so far
It cannot be simpler, clear and informative than this !!
You are the ultimate Guru when it comes do driving lessons! Thanks a ton for your help!! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
buying a somewhat old manual transmission car in a couple days. Haven't driven a manual since passing my test nearly 2 years ago. Your videos are a great resource for me as a refresher.
You are an excellent driving instructor. I learnt to drive 40 years ago and my overwhelming feeling was I needed the precise/muscle memory learning that you are implementing. From my own experience & through conversations with friends, I’ve come to the conclusion that most driving instructors talk too much while the learner is manoeuvring through traffic. What you are teaching is exactly the way driving should be taught!! Shockingly I’m learning new things in your videos after 40 years of driving! 😬
Yea, I am learning new things after driving for 16 years too!
But my instructor talked too little, the opposite of yours LOL
Hi Richard, I only came across you three months ago and you and DGN have helped me so much. I passed within two months of my birthday first time with 0 minors. The examiner said my drive was immaculate. Thank you so much.
That's fantastic to hear, thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
This helped me understand so much more. I've been driving stick for about 4 days now, and I had a problem with driving behind a car that was turning, and when they slowed down I stalled. Thank you for this explanation.
I like teaching people how to drive so I’ve enjoyed watching your techniques - very nice a calm tricks to support learning
Your a great teacher. Simple to understand. My driving has improved so much. Still working on this first gear up hills but your content is amazing.
i passed my test last week! i was watching your videos on roundabouts and manoeuvres 48 hours prior to the test and passed with only 3 minors. thank you for your videos, really informative and helpful!
That's fantastic news, congratulations on passing!
I’ve had a friend teaching me manual and I’m im buying first car tomorrow which happens to be a manual and you’ve been such a help when he can’t explain something
Fantastic video! Yours was the only one that actually helped me! Have been able to get going. Got a couple of drives in before finishing the video and you’re right in the last segment! I was at first only good at going into gear with no gas. But quickly realized that this way is very slow at green lights and steep hills you’ll just roll back. Going to watch the next couple of sets! Thanks again!
I have a nice manual sports car but I live in a massively congested traffic city so I don't often get the urge to drive, and I'll go up to a month where I don't even get in it. I come back to your videos all the time to keep myself sharp driving stick, because I feel like I suck at it. Videos like this one especially are really helpful and important for dealing with the bumper to bumper bs.
Those nudges are good advice, when first practicing I was actually cheating a bit by ever so slightly using the brake pedal when parking because I was speeding up too much.
I've just watched two and a half minutes and I'm loving your teaching style already. You just got you another subscriber!
Not related to this video in particular, but I’ve been preparing myself to get my restricted in New Zealand watching your videos and tips. I passed on my first try. Thank you SO MUCH, your teaching is absolutely fantastic!
That's fantastic to hear, congratulations on passing!
One of the most helpful page I found
I passed my test last month after hours of watching your videos and 8/9 lessons I got there.. and here I am still watching your uploads, keep it up man ❤️
That's great news, thanks for watching and congratulations on passing!
@@ConquerDriving thank you!😃
I am learning manual car here in India. Must say these videos are really helpful. Keep up the good work !
You're definitely my favourite driving instructor on TH-cam. Thank you so much!
Got my test on Wednesday this will be needed thank you again! 🙌🖤
Good luck!
Your all the videos are very informative and having accurate methods. I am building so much confidence from your videos...
Your vids are such life savers, thank you for making these so digestible!!
That was a crystal clear demonstration. Thank you
I found your videos very helpful when I started to learn. Thank you. Keep up the good work mate
Thank you so much for this, I just bought an old Corolla and didn't realize that all the advice I was given to start without gas was making me struggle and stall so much, especially with the pretty weak engine.
I am a Filipino, I appreciate your videos, they are detailed, well-explained, and I learned a lot of concepts that I've never known before. Thank you and keep up the good work.
I tried it without shoes to feel the car a little better. I wear shoes now, but it did help.
You give the best tips and instructions. Thank you.
You are definitely experienced at this, 'cause you answered a lot of my questions even without me asking them. And the explanations are very clear. I am certainly watching the videos you suggested 'cause I still have some questions. You just got yourself a new subscriber. Thanks again!
Top video,very well explained.i must admit,I threw my daughter in the driver seat 3 weeks ago in empty private car parks,and we've been using the no gas method,just to get used to bite point and steering.that will change this weekend coming to your method.
I've also sent her the link to your videos.
Very impressed with your explanation.👍👍👍
Thank you for your useful advice! I'm from Colombia and it's really difficult to drive here. My instructor is quite grumpy and sometimes he doesn't explain important things to me. Thank you!!
This has been one of the most helpful videos ive ever come across. Thank you
Had my first practice yesterday. I watched your video and I didn't even jerk the car at first take off. Credit to you sir. Thankyou.
Loved this video Richard!! I've been driving for the past 10 years and have always had the habit of keeping my heel down when using the clutch! It's perfectly fine and comfortable in regular driving but in bumper to bumper traffic, it's exactly as described in the video that the clutch pedal seems to get into an awkward position underneath your foot after a few pushes to the pedal and then you have to adjust! I tend to just quickly put the car in neutral, adjust my footing on the pedal and then get back into gear again!
I never thought about keeping my heel off the floor in order to attain better control! I will definitely be trying this now and hopefully will be able to get into the habit soon! Thank you so much for this video, it goes to show that it never hurts to go back to the basics, you might learn something that you never thought of! Cheerio!! ♥
Hands down best video on how to engage a clutch
Thank you so much for sharing. I am finding I am taking so long to work a manuel car and this makes me feel a bit better at undertanding how the bite point works. My foot is so heavy so cant wait to try this out!
I feel like I learned way more than I have thus far. I almost gave up on manuals. Thank you.
Honestly u are the best instructor that I've seen .Thanks 🙏❤️
I learned how to drive a manual in 2 hours because of this man🙏🏽
the 'staying slow' was so helpful, thank you sir
I'm just starting my driving lessons this week. Can't wait.
I am learning to drive on a manual car, today was my 4th day and this video helped me a lot!!!!! Love from India!! Thanks a lot!
Started learning this is awesome now I can conquer driving
Hi Richard just want to pop on & say I passed my driving test on Thursday,with the help of your videos & my instructor I don’t think I would of passed to be honest,thank you I will still stay subscribed and watch ,it’s all a learning curve you are a legend ty ty ty 🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘
That's so great to hear, thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
On my first lesson, it was on a hill and got it straight away 😂 we then went to the dual carriageway and went to max speed as a learner driver in NI (45mph). Glad I picked up clutch control on my first lesson with no prior experience
Damnn good for you, I’m guessing you’ve passed now 😅
This man has the ability to teach. I say you could teach anything
watching this one day before my driving test.. very helpful 👍👍
I literally had a dream I learnt manual, then I bought myself a manual car a day after and starting driving after 2 days thank you for these videos !!
Excellent video, clear and precise explanation. Will use several of the points you have made teaching my two daughters. Well done !!
Great content. Fanders seems like a driving professor. His teaching skills are in another level. Kenya ❤
Thanks man i learn how to drive and how to drive smoothly with your videos. All of them are so helpful, love you from iran.
This guy is very good. I am sure alot of leaner found your videos very helpful.
I'm new in driving and this had helped me so much. Thank you Bro
This video gives me revision of your driving tutorials 👍🏻
The best and the most helpful video on the internet well done 👍
I really needed to learn this and I just opened my TH-cam and there it was, thanks very much, great video 👍
As a new driver who passed today for the first time here are some tips for learners;
1. No matter what the officer says or does remember your training (still rember though that officer is in charge)
2. Don't rely only on your lessons, use your off time.
3. Have a support system (I prayed and put my trust in God and relied on my family)
4. Don't tell the entire world cos that makes you feel like you need to impress people which completely defies your support system.
5. Do not be afraid to ask if your not sure what to do on your test.
6. After every lesson sit down and make notes of everything that to you can remember.
7. Be fully dedicated to driving.
Use your resources:
-watch videos
-ask questions
-seek advice
-read books
-download pdfs
-go to the necessary extents
8. Learn to understand how your body works when it comes to stress and find the proper management techniques. (reading Bible quotes, praying and knowing that I was prepared was all I needed.)
9. Try not driving when traffic is hectic.
10. Your first impression dictates the likeness the officer has in you but make sure that you dress comfortably.
11. Again do not allow the officer to presurise you. Just breathe, pray and remember your training.
If you need any more advise please feel free to respond. I am more than happy to help.
God bless❤
Wow this is great advice thank you! I’ve only had 5 lessons so far but did you find it hard to get the biting point at first. That seems to be the hardest thing to get for me.
Which country because in South Africa you need money urgently to pass a driving test?
@@rubiksworld2170 It sounds like you're not from South Africa because in South Africa the driving instructors don't talk about the bite point, only experienced drivers do..
So I'd say if you have the option then don't worry about finding the bite point. Rather focus on Slowly releasing the clutch to the point where the car drops (essentially this is the bite point) and then continue to move off. Changing gears is a slightly different story though since you need to move quicker so that you're not marked as coaching or riding the clutch. That being said I would advise you to
speed up slightly,
gear up,
then release the clutch almost halfway (quicker than clutch control but not too fast),
You should have felt the bite point ever so slightly
Now you can remove your foot off the clutch.
If you can, practice your clutch control even if you're just doing it in your driveway or garage... Etc.
Hope that helps.
@@samuelmakhetha7209 😂😂😂
@@bradsmusic09 yep i live in England 😅 Thank you though you’re advise is helpful 🙂👍
i got good at clutch when i realized the 3 stages of engine readiness that the clutch controls and use the rev needle to know exactly when im on the bite. seeing it wake up at 1 quarter clutch, and spot the 100 rev drop at half clutch. its helped me move off perfectly hills or no and gear shift with immaculate precision. i don't need to look any more but your the first person ever to mention this. as for 2mph i gave yup using the speedo they seem to lag at that speed. much easier to just look my surroundings and hold a slow walking or crawling speed
if you want to learn about clutch control the only way is to dtive something old with a crash box where you need to master double d clutch
oh my god. With 20 years of AT experience. I'd never thought it could be this easy. I was never taught how to drive MT. Even with a good concept of how a clutch works, I wouldn't say I managed to ever pull out of the driveway without a stall. But after watching two of your videos Richard, I was able to drive to the supermarket and back, even with red light stops. Without hiccups or being horned at! My first MT real life driving was a success! I must say your videos, (especially the part on clear explanation of the bite and the ECU) has literally taught me how to drive an MT in practice! They completed the lost puzzle piece for me! Thank you for your knowledge and perfect teaching!
Just passed my drivers test on the first try and I wanted to thank you for your videos because last night before my drivers test I watched your videos and they helped me plus with my experience in a car crash lol but I passed I finally did it and to everyone else who’s struggling with getting their licenses you got it don’t worry just keep practicing and keep pushing because your never alone when God and Jesus is always on your side good luck to the ones going to take their drivers licenses I know you can do it amen❤️
That's great to hear! Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
@@ConquerDriving no thank you!!
than you amen♥
I really find these lessons so helpful
Thanks for the videos! These videos really help me. 🙂
You explained it so well :)
Haven't found a german video explaining it that good. Thank you.
Thanks for providing so much clarity
The instructor that I am working with isn't the best really. These videos are really helpful, Thankyou!
