Got my licence, yet I still come back to his videos bc my instructor only thought me enough to get my licence 🤦🏽♀️ You doing the lord's work honestly
It's good to know my videos are helping you 😊
Hey Khanyi, how's the driving being going after a year? Just recently got my license (K53). Gears aren't as smooth as I would like them to be
Dammmnn me too lol
Looks like you’ll need English tuition as well
@K A R A B O it's pretty much the same with me with the gears, I would say I'm too forceful and slip it into 4th gear when my instructor tells me to change to second. But, every journey starts with errors, and I'll learn from them.
my instructor thinks i’m good, I know it’s because of Conquer Driving. thank you
Haha, thank you ☺
What a great comment! :D Like it.
Love u baby
@@user-fe1ie you’re so cool mate
absolutely true!
Do you know how much you are changing lives,thank you very much,
Thank you ☺
@@ConquerDriving You've changed my life. I am a person with Autism learning in a manual car, something I was told I would likely never be able to do. I am doing it, and it is with many thanks to folks like you as well that I will pass my driving test and become just as good a driver as anyone else. Best wishes, see you on the roads soon :) x
Great comment :)
@@thewr0ngchild the person who told you that you wouldn't be able to do it is a bad person, and while i don't know them i dislike them.
@@thewr0ngchild I'm on the spectrum too. I passed in an autimatic.
Nobody explains gear changes anywhere near as in depth as anyone as you mate, well done! Keep this up!
Thank you.
agreed

@@ConquerDriving I watched almost all of your videos before I go for my driving lessons and I pass them using your techniques, that the instructor gets amazed and I have referred other friends and the instructor to your videos...coming firm Uganda😄🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬
I watch this one alot after I had a terrible time with gear changing I get scared to skip gears but watching these videos calms me down for my next lesson so helpful
Finesse of a seal on road. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
BTW, really amazing video Sir and it's really helpful too. Thank you so much.
You're welcome ☺
You are not just good at teaching how to drive, but you are also amazing making sound effects XD
😂

I was facing this jerking movement while changing gears from 1 to 2 and 2 to 3, applying the second technique really helps...holding the bite point for some time and then apply little gas, then slowly releasing the clutch makes it so smooth. Thanks for the tip
Hey, I have the same problem
Same here. I'm kind of proud because I figured that out by myself. Now that I know I'm doing the right thing, I feel more confident.
@@ak_7973 same
Eventually you'll reduce "some time" down to milliseconds once the muscle memory kicks in.
for me, i always have a really long delay for accelerationg when changing from 1 to 2, or i get a massive jerk. ive started applying a little gas when pulling the clutch out and got perfectly smooth gear changes, but i thought that would be damaging the clutch. does anyone know whether using a slight pressure on the gas when releasing the clutch is bad or fine?
This man is honestly a driving Saint. Free and valuable information and advice. A kind soul who has many respectful subscribers. Thank you for the content.

This killed me 😂
XDDDDD
Dead 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
NOO 😂😂😭
Hell naw
I finally passed my driving test, Richard !! Thank you for being nice and kind enough to reply to my queries when I asked
That's great to hear! Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
Just got a manual car and had no clue how to drive it and these videos helped me so much!! I’m on day two and doing way better than the first time I ever drove it
How you going now?
0:38 Me on the dancefloor after having too many!
And you always thing you're the next coming of Michael Jackson 😂😂
@@rikupv Nah, I just fall asleep and wake up a few days later wondering where everyone's gone lol
Good explanation, my teachers did not do a good job explaining it to me, had to figure it out on my own, the key word you explained here is "gently release the gas" like theres still revs in the engine.
Thank you.
My Father in law and wife complain that I balance clutch, engine revs and gas when changing up gear. I showed them this and I am now vindicated. 👍👍
I'm glad to be of service.
Upshifting to 2nd gear is my current problem when driving manual and this video just saved my life and my wallet. I can't thank you enough good sir. Greetings from CA!
Im from CA too, just recently learning manual !
I've always heard never to add gas while you hold the clutch at the bite point on an upshift, but i always felt it was smoother, and felt that smoother was better for the clutch, the engine, the transmission. every time i do it its so smooth, it feels like it can't be bad for the car, so i'm glad to hear you do it too.
You have to do whatever works best in your particular car.
You are a better driving teacher than mine at this moment. He always gets irritated every time I slowed down as I shift gears... Thank you for the assurance that as a beginner, slowing down is a natural thing...
I’ve been driving for almost a year, why am I watching this again? Your videos still somehow really intrigue me to watch coz of how clear you are with the videos even though I can already drive, trying to get my gear shifts to absolute perfection!
I find your videos absolutely entertaining and educational as a learner driving... love everything about them😍😄 can’t wait to pass my test thanks to u😂
Update: passed my test today!!! Thanks ‘Conquer driving’
Thank you!
This made my night, thank you lmao 0:38
My duck at 3am
After searching for a while, I figured out that this is the best channel to learn to drive a manual transmission car
If I would live in the UK, I would have NO CHOICE, but to take you as my instructor, your students are lucky 😀😀
You're a better teacher than my live in person instructor. You explain your reasoning, what you should expect, and the how to. Perfect . Subbed and definitely sharing your channel for buddies learning to drive
Passed my test 1st time with 3 minors last week and im here! 🤚
Congratulations!
did it in 7 times, handling the car was not the issue
You're the best man, couldn't find a more helpful and easy to understand instructor
I learned on a standard. Throughout adulthood, either owned automatic or didn't need a car. Fast forward 30 years and I'm back in a standard. Much of the theory I wasn't taught is contained in this video. Great explanations and some amusing illustrations (the seal...lol). Very well done.
Your videos are really helpful, I've been watching for quite some years and racing on a simulator, but now I'll get my "loicense" and drive on the real world. Thanks mate!
Also, I love camomile tea. Cheers from Brazil
Swear i tried 10 videos before this guy they were all trash except this one, really helpful !
I kept all your instructions in mind, and my instructor said you drove good today :)
Thank you from Pakistan.
Im also from Pak😎
That seal impression was something else, spat my food out watching it
😂 I'm sorry for interrupting your dinner.
Your presence and enthusiasm is contagious! Just discovered your channel. Can’t wait to see more of your stuff! ❤️
got recommended this for some reason, i love how you talk man it's very entertaining and quite educational.
You are the best!!!🙌 You can't even imagine how much you helped me through my practice lessons of driving! Thank you for every video you made to help people be good driver 😊 Best regards from Serbia! Happy New year! 🎄🍀😊🙏
Just starting my classes now. And i keep coming back to your vids. YOU ARE A GOD SENT.
Been driving for a few years and just bought a manual car. Watching these has helped so much thank you!
I've been looking at your videos a lot the last month or so. Thank you for all your hard work, it has helped me quite a lot while working on my license!
This is the video that helped me the most with gear changes, i used to not apply a bit of petrol and the car would rattle a bit due to coming of clutch too fast but now its much better. Thank You so much!
That clutch plate worn sound is so accurate.
Haha, thank you.
Bought my first manual in 10 years a couple of days ago. Your videos were the best refresher I could have had! Just perfect.
By just watching your vids I learnt to drive in just 8 hours 😂
I am learning to drive these days and your videos are helping me a lot. Thanks for sharing such precise info. Does make a change for learners! 😀😃
You're welcome ☺
Thanks. Had a car now couple of months but was driving it a bit wrongly. Learned already 2 things, and they work well... improved my driving.
I got so confused when we were talking about changing gears smoothly and suddenly I'm being asked personal questions about tea...🙆♂️😓
2:50
That was interesting for me to figure out. Before I went behind the wheel for the first time, I knew that you had to carefully lift off the clutch when starting in first gear. And i thought, when shifting up, you could just release the clutch as quickly as you want. Well, feeling like a seal on land, I found out this is not true.
😂
Yeah, instructors tend to focus on starting and first gear and one gets the impression after 1 it will be trivial and not needing attention. I personally have pretty much perfect start on 1, but am horribly slow moving on second.
“During your driving lessons you aren’t going to get hugely skilful, you’re going to get skilful enough to pass a driving test”. Nailed it. Thank you so much, Richard! I feel like my driving instructor wants me to aspire to being a precision driver (and makes me do methods for changing gears and for manoeuvres that are way beyond my realistic skill level). All it does is increase the amount of mistakes I make, which undermines my confidence, and leads to even more problems.
Best UK driving channel on UA-cam
You are doing a great job with your tutorial videos, It has helped us a lot.
Keep up the good work. Thanks 👍
These tips have literally made a change and been a great help to my driving style
I'm happy to hear that 😊
The sound effects are on point 😂
Especially that onion chopping one
This guy is so encouraging and makes driving a manual feel so much less stressful
Probably the most informative video on UA-cam. Nice hearing from an actual expert.
Thank you
I love the way you demonstrate the lesson. I really love it, is also useful. Thank so much
Thank you ☺
It’s between you and world driving for me. I’ve been struggling with learning but your videos are very helpful.
World Driving is also great but Richard's vids are more detailed
Respect and manners. I love your videos, its helped me to master the stick shift vehicles. Kudos to you, big up from 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲.
Thank you so much, I've learnt an insane amount and my skill has drastically improved taking your tips! Plus, i feel so uncultured for not ever trying chamomile tea 💀 I absolutely enjoy your conversational-instructive style :D
These videos are absolutely phenomenal. I have only ever driven automatic transmission vehicles and I bought my first manual recently. These videos are a godsend.
This has to be the BEST video and explanation I have ever seen on this. You are a great explainer,
did some driving around with my dad and all of your videos are incredibly useful, especially this one for me. you are a god amongst men!
Haha, thank you!
I love the way you demonstrate all of your driving lessons...i really love it and it improves my driving...great teacher love it ❤❤🤙🤙
You're an amazing instructor. Thank you for these wonderful videos.
Got my test a week today! Watching as many of your videos as possible! Good demonstrations and explaining, my favourite channel for driving lesson tips 🙂
Thank you, good luck 🤞
Conquer Driving Thank you! 🙂
Goodluck🍀🍀
manchester girl Thank you! 😁
How did it go and how many lessons did you have1
I reside in Hong Kong where getting driving license is very tough. I have already failed 2 times. Your video helps a lot for learners like me. Thanks 🙏 a lot !
You are so great i have my license but i hv been learning to drive manual perfectly so i come to you videos
"Moving the gear stick or stick shift" part killed me!!!😂
I been watching this guy and today is day 3 of my driving and my instructor said not bad you are a fast learner
Music to my ears.
Ohk I see now how it helps to be gentle and smooth on pedals,tanx so much to Conquer Driving lessons,it's all noted and clear, hope for more regular lessons God mst save and protect you to be there for us all the time for these lessons❤️💖❤️👏👏👏👏
Thank you, yes slow and steady wins the race 😉
This is really helpful especially because when I get my car back on the rd its something to improve on ☺️
Hi Emily, I remember you posting a long time ago. Let me know if it helps you.
Have My test tomorrow and this video is so useful. Thanks
You the best Videos about driving and doing the work on Gas and clutch at all! Big thumps up!
Your the best! I'm from Italy, and I'm learning to drive. I'm watching you channel and I'm learning a lot from you. Thanks...pity that I'm not from England 😊
I was able to learn manual transmission with this person. My brother has been driving a manual for many years, but he didn't explain it as well as this person did. I was able to learn how to drive a manual transmission much faster after watching videos on how to find the flat point, uphill start, and so on.
That seal acting was the cherry on top.. LOL
After living in Stockholm for 10 years, with no need to have a car. Now I live outside of Malmö and I had to buy a car. And after not having been driving for 10 years I feel like a beginner driver and your videos are gold and a total lifesaver ! I was so scared to be driving again (even though I now have the funds to buy a nice car with parkingsensors and even camera) your videos have helped me regain my confidence and also wonder how in the world I felt so confident before I moved. Had to be young and dumb 😂 now I feel like I can do anything, and if I have any things I’m struggling with I just come back to your videos and I’m good again. 🍀
I like the way you explaining I really appreciate you Mr Richard last year 20 of December I passed my Driving test in Johannesburg
That's great news. I'm glad you like the videos, thank you.
Da ma somali baa tahay
@@whatsupp7539 kinda.
Thanks so much. I passed my test today. I watched most of your videos, it's helped me a lot.
That's great news! Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
My father started teaching me how to drive before my driving courses and he only told me about the simultaneous cluth-gas method. When I started my driving classes, my instructor told me that's incorrect and showed me the first method in the video. As a result, I've barely learned how to switch gears smoothly, even after three years of driving. My car has a stiff gearbox. Thanks for this video. It's reassuring and gives me hope I can master driving.
This is so helpful thank you I passed my test last month and I only drove yesterday, I’ve stalled going up hills and the car keeps jerking, thank you for this
I hope it helps you. Thank you.
One of the best driving instructor
Damn man who ever is bein taught by this man is blessed clean lessons😊❤
I have improved so much because of your videos
Just having a chamomile tea now actually! Great video, I've been struggling with gears so much I almost caved and bought an automatic. I'm persevering though with the help of your videos.
I'm am drinking some now as it happens too.
just did my test today and passed all thanks to you 🥳🥳
Congratulations! ☺️
Ik definitely impressing my Driving Instructor tomorrow. Danke schön, Richaard.
I was typing furiously until I reached 9:00.
Thank you so much for including this information in such detail.
Your so helpful thanks a lot just watching your videos makes me feel so much more confident
Thank you and you're welcome.
I had to hit the like for your seal impression😂. The driving lesson was awesome too.
Been driving a manual car for about 8 months now. I'm learning so much from you, LOL! I didn't know how badly I was driving haha! (poor clutch)
I love learning while laughing too. You are really funny and a great teacher!
Chamomile is also my favorite tea. Thanks so much for uploading this :-)
You're welcome ☺
"After all patience is just good understanding". good one!
this will help so much. you explained this so much better than what others have to told me, praise🙏
Thank you!
Understood nothing but that nice quick explanation at the end made it all clear 😂😂😂😂😂
I'm so glad that i find your channel even tho i'm a little bit late but it's ok to help me with my driving tomorrow its my first driving lesson and i have learned allot from you i'm so thankful keep doing what your doing 💯💯💯💯💯
Good luck!
@@ConquerDriving thank you
All of your videos are very helpful. I've learnt a lot from your videos. Appreciate your work sir. Thank you ❤️
That's really nice to hear, thank you!
Thanks for your videos love them! So useful had my 2nd driving lesson today
You're very welcome, I hope it went well.
You are actively saving my clutch three years after posting this thank you😂
Your seal on land impression is why I gave this video a like. Also the rest of the video was useful
😂 Thank you.
Thanks again pal!
I find it amusing that most people watch your videos for pre-test scenarios and your videos are aiming for that audience. Little does everyone know I passed in 2008 and have only been driving my first car the last two weeks.
I have just been fighting second the last couple of weeks. Jolty as f***. From watching this, I learned I was going to fast for it. I just needed to get into the habit of... Pull Off... CHANGE!
Don't wait until I am 15 mph before I change lol. It is a 1.9 TDI though, so I barely hear any revs from first until I am over 10 mph.
Love how you make clutch sounds 😂 cracks me up 😂
Thank you for your superb videos
They're very useful in learning driving🚘
I need this guy as my instructor
