my instructor taught me to drive in a ford fiesta diesel, never used gas to take off, and now after stalling multiple times at traffic lights on a slight minimal hill, im literally getting panic attacks from starting to move off in my crappy 2002 nissan almera
Thanks for the upload, it has been very helpful. I just passed my test in a diesel and have bought a petrol. My confidence was really knocked as I have been stalling occasionally when moving off, which hadn't happened since my early lessons. This was very well explained and I'm much more confident now that I have put this information to use :)
I have passed years ago, but I am only used to diesel cars. I am getting my first petrol car and I have never driven a petrol before and I heard it's a lot different. Thank you so much for the tips!
This is a great video lesson. Well, I like to drive a petrol car more than diesel. I was passed on petrol car and the clutch was really low. I believe that good clutch is the most important thing for the good drive of a petrol car. Greetings from Croatia.
Cheers mate. I learnt in a more modern car and it was also a merc. The clutch feels a lot more forgiving than the car I bought after passing (peugot 107). In the former it's like I can get the bite point, add gas, and move up off the clutch in a couple of seconds. I'll try actually holding the bite point a lot longer now and adjust as slow as I need to cone up off of it too.
Very nicely explained. The problem is nowadays instructors and driving schools teach in diesels for a higher pass rate. I never gave gas for moving off or pulling off. My whole lessons were based on just leaving the clutch fully after the bite to move off and never ever used the handbrake except when parking orfor emergency brake manouver.I passed on first attempt but now Im driving a nissan pixo 2009 petrol and Im having nightmares. I have to kinda start from the beginning now and I feel as if im a newbie who never passed lol. Its easy to apply handbrake when at hills and then move off after gas and bite but my question is how do i manage driving behing slow moving and frequent stopping traffic on a hill. I mean do I still have to apply handbrake every second for moving off or i there a way without handbrake because I have 2 feet not 3 for the brake too ☺. If you can do such a video it will be highly appreciated or drop a link below if you already have.Thank you for all the wonderful videos and help
Thank you very much for your kind words, you must use clutch control when on a hill along with some gas at the same time, this video should help you th-cam.com/video/EdEADaa07CY/w-d-xo.html
Rachel De Brún Go n-éirí leat agus beidh gach rud ceart go leor 😊 Best of luck, everything will be fine, just take it one step at a time and hopefully you can use the videos here to help you along with the actual practical lessons.
Dane Tyghe first lesson went well, he said I was really good at driving on quiet roads so he brought me through town which was really busy. Used gears up to 4th. I stalled a few times but apart from that it was good. I’ve already got my second lesson booked for Thursday 👍🏻
I've passed on diesel car and have a petrol car. I find its a bit difficult. But glad found your video helped me a lot. Thank you Dane. I'm still a bit struggling but getting there ;)
I was passed with a diesel car and I brought a petrol car. I tried to go to 2nd gear and stalled in the petrol one. Any tips? I have a fiat 500 lounge 2014 and the clutch is high. I learnt in a ford fiesta and the clutch was low
+SarahLouise It's a hard one to answer but sometimes if you don't keep the gearstick to the left you will accidentally end up in 4th gear instead of 2nd. Also make sure that you are going fast enough for 2nd,you need a little bit of power and speed and then you should go to 2nd.
i fail my test two weeks ago just because I stall on a hill and the car roll back a little bit..hv a got another test coming on in three weeks nd hope to make it up this time..thanks for tips
+Collins LFC Unfortunately that doesn't apply when a car has stalled, especially if you stall on a hill. Perhaps some modern new cars have a safety mechanism that guards against roll back but not my 5 year old Opel Corsa.
+Collins LFC Sorry I also meant to say that as the car stalls, very often a learner driver will put the clutch in or go to neutral as a reflex and that subsequently can lead to roll back on the hill. An inexperienced learner may be flustered and stressed and not realise that they are rolling back. So what I'm trying to say is that it is not just the lack of handbrake thst can lead to a stall but the following subsequent actions can indirectly lead to a stall 😊
hello Dane, i have question that if I want to drive up a steep hill on a automatic car, which Gear mode is much safer and convenience to use in term of shifting gears? select manual mode or automatic?/..thank you.
Currently awaiting my test - May have cancel whenever I get a date though, I’ve been thought on a diesel throughout my lessons but my instructor recently got a new car which is petrol - feels like being back at square one all over again trying to learn in a petrol smh especially with test so close
Hey Dane just have a question say if you are yielding to traffic and your in second and the car still has at speed about 5mph when a gap appears in traffic would you be able to go off from second gear again or would you need to shift to first and move off ?
some moden petrol cars are easier to move off in as they will add a bit of throttle themselves to avoid stalling. Couple that with a mild hybrid setup most cars will have in a few years and it will be much harder to stall.
I'm passed for 3 years. I drove a diesel for quite some time and now i just got a yaris which is a 1.5 petrol. I stall it so many times. The travel of the clutch is quite short. Any ideas on how not to stall?
Hills are my biggest problem, once I start rolling I lose all knowledge in the driving field. I try using the handbrake and finding the bite but then the car dips and stalls. Need gas first? 2012 nissan duke btw with an odd bite. And maybe I'm heavy footed because I just tap the gas and revs start flying.
I learnt in a diesel, passed my test and bought a petrol. Mistake! It's completely set me back, I did watch the video but are you supposed to use the accelerator first to get revs and then find bite? I was taught to bring car to the bite and as it moves off, then add accelerator but I keep conking out using this method in my 2007 Suzuki swift petrol. Im worried about shooting off and also about stalling, it's a nightmare.
You were taught wrong, that's why you keep conking out, watch my video below for a proper explanation on how to move off - th-cam.com/video/6yq1gxVbxYk/w-d-xo.html
I don't know why he said don't get the revs first but you are going to continue to stall and jerk if you don't get at least a little revs. Follow my advice and you'll be grand.
@@DaneTygheletsdrive ya I do notice that it does jerk out on the road but at home it doesn’t... so after I put it into first gear I rev it to 1500, get the biting point, put foot on gas again and slowly rise my foot off of the clutch? 😀
So if you give it a bit o gas and then relsease clutch slowly you move off that’s all good. My question is when say you get to traffic lights and stop does that mean you have to lift handbrake every time because if you’re giving gas with one foot and bringing the clutch up with the other foot. You can’t just put your foot on the brake cause they’re both occupied. I learnt in a diesel and would lift the clutch slowly the car would move off and then I’d put the gas and go so I’m a little confused
I'm not really sure what you are saying, if you use the handbrake at lights then you should let go of the brake and bring your right foot over the acceleration pedal so you are ready to move off. Then when it's time to go just give it some juice and bring up the clutch and once you feel the bite let down your handbrake and go. Unless you've got a secret third foot I don't see any other options.
In that case just keep your foot on the footbrake and when it's time to go just bring your right foot from brake to accelerator and bring up the clutch. But if you are on an uphill you should use the handbrake regardless of how long you're stopped.
It's possible to move off in second especially if moving off on a steep down hill but it's usually better to take off in first to avoid struggle or stalling.
my instructor taught me to drive in a ford fiesta diesel, never used gas to take off, and now after stalling multiple times at traffic lights on a slight minimal hill, im literally getting panic attacks from starting to move off in my crappy 2002 nissan almera
That is exactly why I don't teach in a diesel car, its about steady feet, but a little bit of juice is a good thing
on an older car, am i supposed to use more gas the more i lift the clutch, or do i rev it up to 1.5 and hold whilst i find the biting point?
There's no one rule for older cars because all cars are different but on older cars try be extra careful not to lift the clutch too quickly
same here ! i was taught to drive a VW polo diesel and now i am struggling with my kia picanto, it's so strange I still haven't gotten used to it.
I am having this exact same issue. Never once stalled the leaner car. My own, ive stalled far too many times to count! Hopefully this video helps 😬
Bought a 2008 clio petrol, can't drive it to save my life, was raised driving 2 - 3 ltr diesel jeeps, great video for new petrol drivers.
Thank you
Truth is petrol cars with low displacement are crappy. Im surprised there is no official training when lerner is asked to push start crappy petrol 😂
Petrol cars are grand.

Dane Tyghe at what speed should I be to go from 1 to 2nd gear? Or do I just need to rev it up to about 1500 rev/min before shifting?
never move without putting gas in a petrol car u will stall in diesel u can move without gas and not stall
Very informative video! ☺

I don't understand how a car will roll back on a hill because you stalled? Surely being in gear would stop the car from rolling backwards.

hello Dane, i have question that if I want to drive up a steep hill on a automatic car, which Gear mode is much safer and convenience to use in term of shifting gears? select manual mode or automatic?/..thank you.
Depends on the performance of the individual car, I'd probably just leave it in automatic unless there is a certain problem.
@@DaneTygheletsdrive thank you very much!!
Best wishes
Very helpfull videos.thanks:)
Marcela Pistrakova You're very welcome thank you for watching.
Hi Dane! For the clutch control to creep, do you gently press the acceleration too at the same time?
Only if you're on a hill, not necessary for the flat
@@DaneTygheletsdrive thanks so much

I’m doing my test next week and I did my lessons in a diesel and my last test in a diesel and I’m doing it in a petrol now

Indeed. Eventually we'll be driving automatic electric vehicles in about 10 years. It's all going automated gradually

that's how I failed my test stalling because of moving off in second gear "duh" moment

Not done this on test but can you move off in 2nd in the test. I have moved off in 2nd and even 3rd before (Diesel) without stalling.
It's possible to move off in second especially if moving off on a steep down hill but it's usually better to take off in first to avoid struggle or stalling.
Why didn't you show your feet in this video? I would have liked to watch your feet movements instead of your head...
