I'm an experienced driver, and find your videos very helpful. My instructor told me about this braking technique when I was learning. Thanks a million.
Thank you so much! I need to learn proper braking technique, and with the way the information is presented in this video, I feel I have a mental grip on how to execute gentle braking. I am so excited to get back in the car and practice.
I learnt from road craft book which is for professional drivers that releasing the accelerator pedal and using engine braking is better than using your brakes to start with then nearer to the junction or hazard apply a bit of brake to get the speed needed and then a gear suitable for the speed doing. Allowing the engine to slow itself down(engine braking) reduces wear and tear on the vehicle and uses less fuel than braking
We’d love to make a video about hilly driving, but where we live it’s very flat! The recommended technique is to use one gear lower than normal for your current speed, as this will give more power uphill, and more control downhill. 👍🏼
Best videos... please upload these things like "changing oil engine tutorial also because your method of teaching is just brilliant.... 5 stars....thumpsUp
+ahsan rasheed Thanks for the 👍🏼! We never actually change our engine oil ourselves, as we take our car to a garage for servicing, but thanks for the suggestion though.
Advance Driving School .but it is necessary question in license test as we can say that it is compulsory.... So plz work on license test questions... because how many time you will go to others to check your oil,brake oil and small things like that....????
+ahsan rasheed Oh, we CHECK our oil (and other fluids) regularly, but never CHANGE them ourselves, as our car has a 20,000 mile service interval. We have covered all the checks in our 'Show Me, Tell Me' videos 👍🏼
Use the brake for slowing down, and use the clutch for changing gear and stopping. Normally we brake before using the clutch, but at low speed we might push both together sometimes.
Thing is say if you’re braking for a roundabout and there is a bend just before it, you would do all your braking before you steer into the bend but then you would have to brake again to stop for traffic emerging from the right, so really you have double braked to stop. My old man who was a class 1 Advanced driver said double braking is amateur and poor.
In that situation we would probably brake continuously around the bend and up to the junction, but adjust our braking force as needed. As long as the car is safely in full control then that’s fine.
Thanks again for the informative video, always helpful!! I would like to know if is it good to apply a full clutch as Iam breaking slighty when driving 85km/H? as I have heard most drivers saying applying full clutch when breaking ...makes the car run faster and its not safe
It can be dangerous to push the clutch pedal down unnecessarily, as it reduces our control over our car. This video explains more: How To Avoid Coasting | Learn to drive: Car control skills th-cam.com/video/UT9c4QwZd7c/w-d-xo.html
You videos are really helpful ! I just wanted to know when the cluch should go down , how many MPH do you have to be driving at . In this video when slowing down and stopping the clutch was used around 40 MPH is that not too soon my understanding is 30MPH and under?
Thanks. When stopping, the speed to put the clutch down will vary depending on the gear currently selected. We should push the pedal down when the engine revs are low, so look at the rev-counter and wait until about 1000-1500rpm 👍🏼
+mahabubul hoque bhuiyan No, there is no need to lift off the brake pedal before changing gear. Sometimes we keep braking whilst changing gear (if driving downhill) but at other times we won't need to - so just do whatever seems best for the situation.
Advance Driving School Yh maybe 'feather' wasn't the best term but now you've explained it makes sense.... good video as usual though... keep it up (I passed a year ago and still watch your videos)
Feather comes from the practice of feathering the propellers on an aircraft with that option, where the blades of the propeller can be turned in such a way that their surface is not causing drag when that engine no longer is functioning, the edge of the prop. is presented as to the airflow and so the result is a smoother flow of air and hence less resistence.
Hey i have question is it a good idea that you put your car in neutral and ghost to the stop light and gentle brake ?? because they always told me to stay in a gear in case an emergency happens ??
+Dr4g0nW00d The car should always have a gear selected when rolling, as this gives more control of our speed when slowing + the option of speeding up again if needed. (You were taught correctly!)
We might need to brake first when driving down a hill or when junctions are close together, but otherwise we try to follow the MSM routing - so should indicate before braking.
Hello, is it a good idea to downshift while braking? Usually, when I need to slow down before entering a city, I downshift and let the motor slow down while lightly braking, is it a good way to slow down or will it damage the clutch? Thanks in advance for response.
+stepanex As long as the braking is gentle there shouldn't be a problem. However it should be avoided when braking hard, as the car is unbalanced by the weight transfer towards the front wheels - which could then lose traction when changing gear.
+stepanex Yes, exactly. Racing drivers get around this problem by using a technique called 'heel & toe' to rev-match whilst braking, but we don't feel comfortable recommending this to less experienced drivers on the road. Watch our video about 'Rev-Matching' for more information 👍🏼
I already saw it. I was trying to understand the rev matching for like a day now and I finally understood the pros of rev matching and how to properly perform it from your video. Thanks for all your videos, short and easy to understand.
We should only push the clutch pedal if we need to change gear or stop the car. Disengaging (pushing) the clutch unnecessarily will reduce our control over the car, so should be avoided. This video might help: How To Avoid Coasting th-cam.com/video/UT9c4QwZd7c/w-d-xo.html
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool thank you so much.. Instead of having to record and see later, I want one to monitor my brakes live and also if you know anything to for clutch monitoring, like how harsh I moved off (left my clutch)?
Because we push the clutch pedal down to disconnect the engine from the gearbox. This video might help explain: Giving Way at junctions: th-cam.com/video/8NeJZFiMwzQ/w-d-xo.html 👍🏼
The video needs to be edited to be accurate.At 0:28, it shows g-Force meter at 0.4G yet foot is completely off the brake pedal. This inaccuracy shows at many instances, for example, foot off brake at 0.1 and 0.0 G. Also, the captions doesn't match the readings explained. Would've been great vid otherwise
The readings on the G-force meter are provided by the camera, and are clearly a little inconsistent at times. We don’t really think it matters enough to re-edit the video though!
+reza maulana On this video I wanted to concentrate on showing how to brake smoothly, so didn't want to confuse anyone by rev-matching as well. Please watch our other video to see how Rev-matching works!
After using this technique for some time, you really become aware of how horrible people in front of you are at braking.. especially entering downhill grades. watch those brake lights flicker on and off as they repeatedly TAPTAPTAP the brakes
Thanks for the invitation, but travelling over 4000 miles to make a video isn’t practical! We’ve seen on TV how people drive in India though - it looks like chaos!
I find your videos to 'busy' there is to much on the bottom of the screen to keep track of while also trying to watch what the car is doing. For 'would be' drivers its very distracting and confusing.
I'm an experienced driver, and find your videos very helpful. My instructor told me about this braking technique when I was learning. Thanks a million.

Very, very interesting video 👍👍
Well done 👍
I don’t have an issue with smooth braking but when im in a new year car the brakes are really sharp
More modern cars have quite sensitive brakes. You get used to them eventually.
brake with clutch or without clutch
Use the brake for slowing down, and use the clutch for changing gear and stopping. Normally we brake before using the clutch, but at low speed we might push both together sometimes.
Breaking without clutch wont stall the car??
@@userzut wen you break you should also press your clutch the same time
@@userzut It won't stall if you're in high speed
Good video, how long have you been doing this?
Thanks! We started our channel in 2015.

You should explain what "feathering" means in the video.
And Clutch..
@@amphimrca Just search on TH-cam for 'how to use a clutch' and it should come up with some useful stuff.
Great video
what do you mean "feather the brake"?
+robot3006 To 'feather' the brake is to gently release pressure from the brake pedal, so the braking force is reduced slowly and smoothly.
Advance Driving School Yh maybe 'feather' wasn't the best term but now you've explained it makes sense.... good video as usual though... keep it up (I passed a year ago and still watch your videos)
the term "to feather" is used for car pedals, in daily talking or in motorsports. So it is the best term.
Feather comes from the practice of feathering the propellers on an aircraft with that option, where the blades of the propeller can be turned in such a way that their surface is not causing drag when that engine no longer is functioning, the edge of the prop. is presented as to the airflow and so the result is a smoother flow of air and hence less resistence.

hello advanced driving school. i have a question can we do block gear changing while progressive braking.?
Of course! Block Gear Changing: th-cam.com/video/oI2kN1IvNnc/w-d-xo.html 👍🏼
Is it ok to hit the brake before signaling? Or should I signal first then start braking?
We might need to brake first when driving down a hill or when junctions are close together, but otherwise we try to follow the MSM routing - so should indicate before braking.
v nice video

I see, so I should avoid doing that when I would want to slow down fast into a turn as I could get into a skid. Thanks!

Do we want to hold the clutch while we apply the break?

I do "kangaroo "braking ,oh my poor instructor.
I brake too hard. I have a problem with staying in my lane. I really want to get better at it.
What's feather off?
Ease off the pedal gently 👍🏼
Why is there no BELL sound when I hit the Bell, it would make the experience so much more enjoyable and believable.
Good point - and thanks for subscribing!
When we feel for the brake do the brake light turn on
Yes 👍🏼
What is meant by feathering off the break
Gently reducing the amount of braking force 👍🏼
what g-force meter did u use, pls? 🥺

when i feather the break before stopping , doesnt the car move or something ?
Feathering the brakes means to ease off the brakes a little, so we are braking more gently. The car should still stop, but really smoothly.
Hi while turning right car is stopped and 2nd gear how car is not stalling
