Just tried driving for the first time yesterday and stalled several times - it knocked my confidence but this helped me to figure out what I was doing wrong! Thank you!
Now that you have driving manual for a year - any tips for a new driver (me). Actually, I’m at a 1000 kilometers on the odometer and not stalling as much:)
Clutch biting 12:08 demonstration that's what i was looking for , not too much or less speed but just enough control that you need when approaching junctions. Thanks.
The bonus video was very cool. No need to use the break or the gas pedal. The clutch does everything :) Thanks guys for sharing . I enjoy all the videos
My advice is take it easy dont be in a rush to lift the clutch up and dont be afraid to use it, it basically helps slows the car with the brake and with accelerator helps speed the car up and changes gear. I have had 3 lessons and stalled once (I thought Id be rubbish) but learnt quickly not to lift it fully quickly. You hear a change and the front of car rises at biting point try to make sure your heel is on floor as more control, I guess its just practice the more you use the pedals the more you get used to them so practice as much as possible and dont be afraid to make mistakes on quiet roads.
Thank you this explains the clutch much more so its straight in my head first, so much to get your head around, this video explains things in such simple language
Brilliant video so easily explained in simple terms. I wish they did separate lessons at the start in a quiet areas at reduced rate/cost so people could get used to controlling the car first, practicising and mastering these functions, which would enable people to fully control the car then go onto actually driving it in different situations, its too rushed for me, people are expected to just know how to do it and do things like parking without mastering the clutch first. But this videos makes the function so easy and what clutch does. In a sense the Biting point is like the roll forward function in an automatic
Concise and easy to understand, I spent so much learning this, but your video taught me better than other materials out there. Thank you and God bless❤️🙏

Such a great video and helps explain the different uses of the clutch, so clearly explained, much simply explained than some instructors say, love the music 👍
Excellent, thank you so much, very helpful indeed, you have explained it very well and I have liked the way you have positioned the camera footage on screen; The best so far.
+Hrithik Mahale Ha ha - I would love to make that for you, but I would need a different car at the very least! I think a Nissan 200SX or Silvia would be ideal, but maybe my normal learners wouldn't like it much....
Hey driving school, as much as it sounds like a joke, learning to drift educationally could save someone's life. There are an infinity of situations where people lose rear traction and instinctively go for the brakes causing them to go off track or on top of a crash barrier. Go for it!
Hi, great video, really helps me to visualise the foot action simultaneously with the road view, such a difficult thing to be able to see usually! I'm really struggling with the biting point at the moment, have you ever encountered students whose nerves stop them from recognising the biting point? I think I have this problem, as I have my mind focused too much on other concerns such as pulling the handbrake off, balancing my right foot on the accelerator and feeling apprehensive about taking off, all at the same time. It causes my mind to almost blank recognition of the biting point sound/ feel, as I'm too nervous about balancing all these actions.
We have already made 2 videos covering the 3-point-turn manoeuvre, but using the handbrake is optional so don't feel that you have to use it. As long as you can keep safe control of the car then that is fine. In addition, this manoeuvre isn't part of the UK driving test any more - unless you accidentally drive into a dead-end road and need to turn around!
Ah, in that case you’d better use the handbrake then! Just take your time, as rushing only makes everything harder. Good luck if you have your test soon!
Thanks very much! Feel free to check out our channel as we have almost 100 videos to help you master every aspect of driving. There is even another video to help with using the clutch - have you seen 'Low Speed Clutch Control?'
I have a new Valeo hydraulic clutch which is very, very soft and engages at the top half of the pedal travel! Even as a new driver I'm really good with clutch control but with the exception of my own car! I don't know what to do. Every time I start from a stop is a challenge and it is hardly ever completely smooth!
+andrekalt Every car's clutch bites slightly differently - it's usually the most challenging thing when changing cars! The only suggestion I can give is to make sure you 'set the gas' before lifting the clutch pedal very very slowly - and once it starts to bite keep your feet still! If there is a judder as it bites, then the car's flywheel might need replacing.
What about driving uphill with slow traffic? That's the situation I fear the most because I could easily crash with any of the cars in front or behind me :(
+Rafael De Jesús I like to leave a little space in front and try to keep rolling as much as possible. When I do stop the car, there is no rush to move so I can take enough time to do a nice hill-start.
diesels have a lot of bottom end torque so this would be a lot easier as they are harder to stall compared to petrol engines, it might of been worth mentioning that as my diesel van you can just release the clutch fully from stand still, litrally just take your foot off of it as quick as you can, it will jerk once and then will be going at walking speed no problem which no petrol engine will do
+Michael Zak Wow - it sounds like your van is almost impossible to stall! Vans usually have quite large engines and very low gear ratios so that would probably explain why that is. In the U.K. most learners would be using a car with a smallish (
Hey, I just got a mustang gt with a stage 2 clutch & im having difficulties smoothly taking off in 1st gear. Should I release the clutch until the “bite point” and then give it gas? Or do I give it gas before I feel the bite point?
Usually it's always better give set the gas before biting the clutch, as the extra engine power helps to get the car moving without any hesitation or stalling. However, in some cars that are known for having tricky clutches (Porsche Carrera GT for example) the recognised technique is to use the clutch only to get rolling, before adding power - so you might have to experiment!
Your video are absolutely well-done. However, I still wonder about controlling the clutch. When I change to the first gear, the car always stalls dangerously, how can I solve this problem?
+John Ho Thanks! If you're stalling the engine when pulling away, it's probably that you're using too much of the clutch 'biting point'. Try lifting your left foot really really slowly until you hear the engine note deepen as the clutch starts to bite. Then release the brake and keep your feet still! Just wait..... until the car is rolling at walking pace.... and only then lift the clutch up fully. The trick is to keep your feet still 👍🏼
i can controll clutch very very vell but i still do get dam engine stop, then i figured out why and problem was soon/quick cluth release whitch means you have to kip your clutch on biting point car start to move at least 2-3 more meters b4 you release it smooth
But my instructor said to press break slowly when in traffic and full clutch with break if have to stop fully. Here i see you pressing clutch only .. how is it possible?
It depends on how quickly you need to slow down. Press the brake to stop faster, or if you only need to reduce your speed a little pushing the clutch down will stop the 'drive' to the wheels and allow the car to roll along with its momentum. The car will eventually stop, or we could lift the clutch up a little to send some 'drive' to the wheels and speed up a little. Our next video covers low speed clutch control like this, so keep a look out for new uploads!
Very nice demonstration! Just a quick question... my instructor told me to gently press the brake first and when it is just about to stop press the clutch down. However, in your video it's the clutch you using first and a then brake pedal. please clear the confusion. thanks.
+Aanya s. It depends on the speed of the car and current gear. Generally it is best to brake first, and then push the clutch down just before stopping the car. However, if the car is already at the minimum speed for that gear then the clutch will need to be pushed straight away before braking the car to prevent a stall. HTH!
I've been driving manual for a year now and I got better at it. But I still like watching tutorial videos. When I start on a hill I don't use the handbrake unless the car behind me is really close to my butt. I don't mind rolling back a little bit and I feel like rolling back shouldn't be a problem on the U.K. Driving test. It shouldn't even be a minor fault. What should matter the most is you should know how to use the clutch properly.
Being able to pull away on a hill without rolling back just shows the driver has good car control. We can get away with rolling back a few centimetres, but any more will be a fault as it could endanger vehicles or pedestrians behind the car.
Very nice video..well explained...just one problem...you shouldn't have worn such Bongo big shoes as they are hampering the look of the activities you do to show the learners
that's how my dad does it up hill like my house has a little hill we reverse back upwards and have to get it on at least 2 revs to reverse it back up the hill
When you say cluch biting, does that mean you press the gas too? Or just the clutch? And, when you're on a flat road, if you press down the clutch, does it make you go slow? How'bout when you're going down hill, and you press down the clutch, will that also slow you down? Sorry i'm really confused on when to use the clutch biting point or clutch pressed down. Please help, tyvm!
Kashvern 'Clutch biting' means that the clutch pedal is raised just enough that the clutch is starting to gently drive the car forward. 'Clutch down' means that the clutch pedal is pushed down, so that the clutch is not driving the car forward at all. However if you are driving downhill then pushing the clutch down will allow the car to free-wheel and actually speed up! Ask a local driving instructor to show you how all this works in a real car, and then practice until it is clear! HTH
My biggest problem is that I have little to no feeling at all for the pedals at the moment, I feel like as though I am gently pressing the gas pedal but I put instantly up to 4000 revs, I hope that will fix itself with time
That’s a common problem with a new driver. Modern cars are very light and easy to drive, and this demands a gentle touch from the driver. Try wearing lightweight shoes to give more ‘feel’, and just keep practicing 👍🏼
Advance Driving School I am currently just at an hour or so of driving experience actually, and I was wearing heavy shoes accordingly to the weather conditions here (it's raining and snowing all the time), next time I'll pick up my light snickers and use them only for driving to get the feel...Thanks for the advice and you've got yourselves a subscriber btw, keep up the good work 🖒
What do you think about raising the clutch, feeling the biting point then lowering it slightly to press the gas so you can gauge when you can raise the clutch smoothly just after you pull off? I've had a instructor go nuts at me for raising the clutch before I apply gas, Its just a way I make sure I don't roll back because I know I can raise the clutch when I fall back slightly and quickly press my gas pedal, but this was a big issue for my instructor. Its my driving habit I have gained over the year learning to drive and my past and current instructor don't mind this, but I tried booking a new instructor and he hated this (Reason for new instructor was there was a slot for a practical available in a town over and I tried a lesson there)
That isn’t a bad way to have an initial feel for where the clutch bite is, when driving a new car for the first time. After that though, we would return to the normal ‘gas, then clutch’ method for pulling away as it is slightly quicker. Ultimately as long as it doesn’t cause any unnecessary delay before pulling away it shouldn’t really matter which technique you use.
are u pressing the gas as you alternate between biting and clutch down while you're in traffic? i can't tell with those giant shoes. if no, aren't you meant to rev the engine before you move off?
Like anything else, some people are very good at driving a manual transmission and others are not able to master the clutch as well and have problems. That's what automatics are for, those who are not skillful or have a short attention span, or plain terrible drivers.
Automatic cars are also better for city driving, as the constant use of the clutch pedal can get tiring! If you prefer manual cars, make the most of it now as they won’t be around for much longer - as electric and hybrids take over everything will be automatic as standard.
@@AdvanceDrivingSchool Which is why I can't be bothered with a manual. I am only trying because I of my parents and that I may need to occasionally drive commercial vehicles.
+prasanna bhat Thanks for the idea, but this channel is focussed on helping new drivers improve their driving + we're not experts about off-road either!
+stevogames123 Once rolling in traffic, the car will roll along without pressing the accelerator with the engine just idling. Most cars can do this in at least 1st and 2nd gears.
+Rochelle Some people drive like this, but I don't recommend it as it's very easy to stall. I prefer to rev the engine a little before biting the clutch, as this provides extra power to get the car going with far less chance of a stall. This is especially important when driving cars with smaller engines as they usually stall easily. Think of the extra revs as 'stall insurance'!
Lift the clutch (to re-connect the engine to the wheels) and then accelerate. If you push the accelerator before lifting the clutch the engine will rev up in neutral and make the car jump forward when the clutch is lifted.
Hello to drive really slowly do you bring the clutch just above the bite to move slow and then dip it down to move slower but when you dip it down do you bring it back to the bite or below the bite
Think of it this way: no bite = no forward drive / some bite = some drive / more bite = more drive and so on. You are just varying the amount of drive as you adjust how the clutch bites, it’s not on or off. This video might help: Clutch control at low speed: ua-cam.com/video/8O3ZSqmJ9Yc/v-deo.html 👍🏼

+prasanna bhat Thanks for the idea, but this channel is focussed on helping new drivers improve their driving + we're not experts about off-road either!
Thanks really helpful 😊👍
Thx
do you have to press the gas with the biting point in the slow traffic
+stevogames123 Once rolling in traffic, the car will roll along without pressing the accelerator with the engine just idling. Most cars can do this in at least 1st and 2nd gears.
Advance Driving School ok cheers would it work in older cars ?
+stevogames123 Yes - I expect so 👍🏼
can you press down the accelerator after fully lifting your foot off the clutch . Ive been taught like this and how stalled a few times
+Rochelle Some people drive like this, but I don't recommend it as it's very easy to stall. I prefer to rev the engine a little before biting the clutch, as this provides extra power to get the car going with far less chance of a stall. This is especially important when driving cars with smaller engines as they usually stall easily. Think of the extra revs as 'stall insurance'!
when I change the speed to second over, I accelerate after or before lifting the clutch?
Lift the clutch (to re-connect the engine to the wheels) and then accelerate. If you push the accelerator before lifting the clutch the engine will rev up in neutral and make the car jump forward when the clutch is lifted.
Hi +Advance Driving School, @ 3:43 was hand break on earlier? if yes when was it released?
+watawonderfulworld The handbrake was applied when I stopped at 3:20, then released at 3:32 - if you listen carefully you can just hear it.
Don’t know why I’m watching these videos I don’t even live in the uk and i already have a license
Using manual car in traffic jam really works out my left leg.. after reaching home i can feel that my left leg is tired as hell lol
Buy an automatic
Hello to drive really slowly do you bring the clutch just above the bite to move slow and then dip it down to move slower but when you dip it down do you bring it back to the bite or below the bite
Think of it this way: no bite = no forward drive / some bite = some drive / more bite = more drive and so on. You are just varying the amount of drive as you adjust how the clutch bites, it’s not on or off. This video might help: Clutch control at low speed: ua-cam.com/video/8O3ZSqmJ9Yc/v-deo.html 👍🏼
