Hi lads and ladies! We've got a few back to basics videos coming out alongside some fun/different content on the way. We're smashing it past 50k subs which is mad so thank you for the love xxx
No one taught me how to drive a car, and I still do the thing with the brake on inclines, and sometimes heel-toe on a bigger hill start. (I've been driving for a month now, I'm 16)
A great tip for hill starts is to have the correct mentality. DO NOT be thinking about rolling back, other wise you are likely to roll back. Example: What ever you do DON'T think of a pink elephant, so what are you thinking of?? A pink elephant right? FOCUS on what you need to do, FOCUS on moving forwards.
Well, you need to be aware that car can go backwards if you don't start quick enough. One thing is thinking about pink elephant, other thing is doing it. Your logic is not in place..
@@T.Hxrris In your tachometer, which is next to the speedometer on the dashboard of your car, you can see the RPM and for most of the cars the numbers get red after 6, meaning you've hit 6000 RPM. So when the needle gets to 6K rpm (or any different depending on the unit) you're redlining. Essentially just driving at a very high rpm or your motor is spinning really quickly. Thing is, when you're hill starting, you can redline your car when you still have the handbrake on to get the momentum as soon as you release it . If you start moving it drops significantly but you should keep giving gas not to stall. Hence why you shouldn't worry about redlining because it drops a lot anyways as you start moving and unless you don't release the clutch enough you won't redline again. That's just my experience with my car though, hope that clarifies it.
Learned how to hill start in a 1981 Chevrolet Corvette, with a broken hand brake, letting the clutch out to the bite point, right foot still on the brake, when moving from the brake to the throttle, the car won't move back, due to holding the clutch to the bite point, then start giving it gas, while slowly letting out the clutch. -A self taught manual driver.
That's a V8 though, with lots of low-end torque. That helps a lot. Doing what you've suggested can be extremely difficult if you have a very small engine with hardly any torque at idle.
As a beginner I used only the "no handbrake" method, but as I got older I got lazy and I came to appreciate the handbrake's advantages. It is just more confortable to use and it's more healthy for your clutch.
My dad thought me how to hill start without a handbrake so when it came to actual driving lessons I've shown to my instructor that I don't need to use the handbrake to hill start. All he said was if you want to pass your driving test that I have to use the handbrake to hill start as some examiners see this maneuver as dangerous.
Here in Romania they never teach you to start with the handbrake, they teach you how to start it from the clutch only, they also don't teach rev matching, this is why they change the clutches every 3 months.
This was stupidly helpful! I took a break from lessons because of studies and work, and when I came back to lessons, my hill starts were traumatising and embarrassing. I completely forgot that you would need more gas and to stay at the bite longer. I'm really grateful for this vid, Paynos!
This was really helpful for me because I have a newer manual car with one of those annoying *electronic* parking brakes. It's just a button and it doesn't disengage unless your foot is on the brake pedal.
2 years later but I’m about to buy a used car like that and I’m worried about it because I’m used to using a handbrake! I asked the guy at the dealership and he was like, “I don’t know man”. Which isn’t reassuring, so now I’m doing my research.
@@86aidan31 An electronic handbrake is the easiest thing you’ll ever use. You literally push a button to engage it and simply start driving to disengage it. No more messing about with a mechanical handbrake!
@@davidstanley8508 I got a Mazda3 manual with an electronic handbrake. If I have the handbreak up and start to drive, it does disengage automatically but the car lurches forward. So, I have to disengage the handbreak first then use the bite-point technique to get the car moving.
Recently swapped the transmission in my 71 bronco to a 5 speed from a 3 speed after I cooked the flywheel and clutch from improper shifting at red lights traffic ect.(my first manual and self taught so please dont crucify me) and your videos have greatly improved my shifting. I actually look like I have a clue thank you so much
After watching this video, I feel like the only person that actually uses the handbrake on hills lol 😆 Mainly because I have a 1.0L car, it just doesn’t quite have the power to pull off well with no accelerator
Jack Taylor try getting use to finding the balance point where you have the clutch somewhat depress and having the gas in just a tad bit where you hold the car steady on a hill, no rolling back or moving forward the “bite” point.. this is a bad idea with long term use but once you get the feeling of your “bite” point, muscle memory will allow you to quickly release the brake peddle and find your bite point in a split second reflex.. really not that hard to master
On a steep hill I just use the handbrake now. Not sure what the fuss is. When driving diesels in the past, I never imagined using the handbrake in any circumstance.
My driving instructor taught me bit with and without a handbrake, and never really did hill starts with a handbrake. Just got my first car, a 1.6 mini cooper and yet to try a hill start in that.
I'd recommend you don't bother with the "no-handbrake" hill start. It's unnecessary and dangerous, and puts more stress on the clutch. Unless you're missing an arm, there is literally no good reason to avoid using the handbrake. A no-handbrake hill start will never be as fast or smooth as a well executed handbrake start.
there's this one huge hill on my way to school, and there's a traffic light right at the top. still haven't gotten there without stalling on that hill.
As I have a front wheel drive car, and the handbrake locks only the rear wheels, I prefer going with the handbrake. because the brake pedal locks all the wheels, which means my front wheels get more resistance, which means my clutch disk will die faster. AAAND my vehicle is kind of heavy, so jumping off the clutch and revving it, will make my first wheels spin while I'm sliding backwards down the hill (mainly in winter) :) (I'm amazed, how easily I can spin my first wheels on a flat surface when I'm just trying to start from a stop)
I've started to do that leg wiggle to reposition my foot on the clutch... Safe to say I'll probably be doing that for the rest of my driving life thanks to you, so that's worth something right? 😁
I stalled twice on a hill today on 2 diff occasions. My car is 1.0 and im still getting used it. Its so stressful knowing that it might roll back or the people will use their horn at you!
A 1.0, meaning a 1 litre engine? That would make it a bit tricky. An engine that size will have very little torque, so you need to be careful to maintain the rev's to avoid stalling. Keeping your heel braced against the floor as you release the clutch will help a lot. You want to be releasing the clutch just by pivoting your angle, rather than moving your whole leg. This gives you much more control. Release the clutch until you feel it start to take, then pause in this position momentarily, while you give the engine a bit more throttle and simultaneously release the handbrake. So basically the handbrake is just used to hold the car in place until the clutch engages, then it's job is finished.
In Sweden we arent tought to use the handbrake in hillstarts unless its really steep to the point where you need your right foot on the gas to not stall.
if i keep my heel on the floor while finding the biting point in my moms car which i'm using to learn how to drive my foot just gets stuck cause of the floor mats or whatever they are called. sorry for bad english i'm from sweden
Biggest problem I have is my clutch is hydraulic and the biting point can vary depending on the density of the fluid. That changes with time & weather conditions.
I just got a manual car (in the US where these cars are very rare) and I thought either I or the car was tripping because the bite point seemed to be in different places on different days, and it seemed to get lower after I had been driving for some time
I probably used handbreak to hill-start when I was in driving school but I doubted the necessity of it. I've never used one ever since I was out of school though... But my mom uses handbreak to make sure she doesn't roll-back.
thanks for this I’ll have to try it out. This week in my driving lesson I had to do a hill start on a roundabout and i stalled 4 times 😖 I wanted to disappear
When you've been driving for longer, you'll start to be able to naturally feel what's going on with the car. You'll just know automatically when the car needs more gas etc. I actually think it's helpful to learn how the engine, clutch and manual transmission works, from a technical perspective. I found this helped a lot to improve my clutch control.
I have an old pick up with manual transmission with no handbrake. The emergency brake is on the floor. I came across videos on how to start on an incline without rolling backwards at all, and this was all new information to me. I practiced a bit after watching the videos and then I told my boyfriend who had been complaining that I roll backwards too much when starting on an incline. I wasn’t rolling too much but that’s besides the point. The boyfriend who had been a truck driver for 14 years said that this was a technique used for vehicles with handbrakes and that using this technique in my vehicle, with emergency brake on the floor, would wear out my clutch prematurely. I can’t find a single comment or any info on this at all. I have to know if he has a valid point or is he just trying to make me feel as if I can’t do anything right once again??
I don't understand why this is even such a contentious issue. This is what the handbrake is for, so use it. It makes hill starts faster, safer, and easier. It's a no-brainer.
@@Paynos I've heard this as well. I just laugh it off. Fortunately when I was first learning, I had a very good teacher, who instilled good habits, so by the time I heard my first "handbrake is for noobs" type comment, I was already experienced enough to know I could safely ignore them.
I usually just hit the gas hard, but yeah definitely not the best way to, I'm still getting used to the clutch of my parents car so, and unfortunately my feet are to big to keep my heel on the floor the top of my shoe will get stuck on something if I do that, so that's a big oof.
FFS what the hell are u talking about....... Press NOS button before u start realising clutch and the car will go itself without touching acceleration at all..... NOS clutch up and release break that's it...
You should not be holding on the clutch, you should always use handbrake. You will wear your clutch out quicker if you do. You will also fail your test.
I take driving lessons in a Mercedes a class and it has a electronic parking brake. I always roll back because sometimes the handbrake will release automatic and I’m not ready to move out because I need to check mirrors but I have no time to check mirrors
I also just purchased a seat Ibiza 2007 the other day, it’s my first car although I haven’t got enough confidence to take it on the roads just yet. Hopefully your videos will help me.
If we want to start the car on a steep hill, more uphill as shown in your video, releasing the brakes slowly will make the car moves backward very fast. How do we stop that??? How do we start comfortably??
How come you recommend finding the bite first instead of setting the gas first? Is it because it will roll back slightly if you set the gas first on a hill?
Like can you keep your foot right down on the clutch give some gas and then bring the clutch up? Is this less of a chance of stalling? Sorry I’m a new driver just passed haha
I can see with ur pedals why u keep ur heal on the floor as the clutch is quite small n looks very easy compared to mine. I have a brand new car and the clutch isn’t stiff but it isn’t loose either n my feet are just too small to keep my heal on the floor lmao great video tho il just stick to using my handbrake
Some people say using the clutch instead of handbrake is not a good method, they call it riding the clutch which is not good for clutch life. Is it true?
I’ll stick with the handbrake for now but as you said my learner car must have been a decal as I literally just held the clutch at the bite no handbrake no gas! And it just stayed. Just passed my test, did that in my own car and stalled it 😂😂 just needed gas and it was fine! Think I’ll stick with the handbrake though for now until I am more used to the car. Plus when I don’t use the handbrake and do it this way I do slightly roll back as I’m repositioning my feet is this normal? Or if I do it quicker would that stop that
# yeah, I’ve got a 1.0L Skoda Citigo and it does not like hill starting with only the clutch, I’ve tried before and nearly stalled because there just isn’t the power with a 1 litre engine
I came here not because I hate handbrake haha but because some time I don't have enough time for a handbrake. For example, reaching a stop sign and stopping just before it tells you to go again
Haha, yeah can’t use the handbrake all the time especially when you only have to stop for a few seconds. Maybe he explained in the video but how do toy stop the car from rolling back even if it’s slightly? I’m a new driver haha sorry
Why would you NOT use the handbrake? It's a lot easier as it frees up your right foot to concentrate on the accelerator pedal. All you have to do is to lift up the clutch to the biting point, a bit of gas and take the hand brake off, not sure why it should take a 6 and a half minute video to explain this very basic technique. It's the sort of thing you learn on your first lesson.
Why is it important to free up your right foot to concentrate on the accelerator? What's the issue with stepping on the brake pedal with right foot, release clutch to bite point with left foot, then switch right foot from brake pedal to accelerator pedal?
@@eeyyaakk6801The "issue" is that there is no need to do it and just makes things overly complicated, it is also a touch safer, if you don't have the biting point exactly right, there is a chance that the car will roll back in that split second that it takes to transfer your foot from the brake to the throttle.
No, but if you take an automatic exam, you can only drive automatics.. So most take a manual exam, then later in life might transition to automatic as their left leg gets tired :P
The default is to learn in a manual car as most cars are here, especially the first cars people have here, small hatchback are almost all manual. A manual license does mean you can drive an automatic as well though
I have trouble keeping my heel down. I have a golf Mk7 and the clutch travel is pretty damn long, if I push it all the way in and put my foot down, I don't seem to have enough angle in my heel to actually release the clutch. if anyone has any tips that would be really helpful, I only passed my test a couple weeks ago 😅

Pro tip: Just don't care about redlining your car when hill starting. Be sure to not redline in 2nd and so on though

You should not be holding on the clutch, you should always use handbrake. You will wear your clutch out quicker if you do. You will also fail your test.
Why the fuck would I use my handbreak. There is a footbreak for a reason. I'd never use the handbreak while driving.
I mean as long as you don’t hold the biting point longer then 5 seconds you should be good or have a stupid amount of revs in that transition
I used the foot brake to hill start on my driving test and passed in the UK. None of the minors I got were for hill starts,
@@baileyharrison1030 Correct for downhill, but wrong when facing up.
@@Dominik-or3pw You missed my point completely. I was referring to an uphill start.
Nice Video
Me redlining and my loud ass exhaust crying and causing a scene 😂😂
Welcome back
Thank you! 💪
I take driving lessons in a Mercedes a class and it has a electronic parking brake. I always roll back because sometimes the handbrake will release automatic and I’m not ready to move out because I need to check mirrors but I have no time to check mirrors
+audience engagement :^)
Full engaged
Hill starts just make me want to quit driving as a whole
Can see from watching this you’re alignment is off
What about if i on really high uphill and the clutch doesn't hold rolling back??
I also just purchased a seat Ibiza 2007 the other day, it’s my first car although I haven’t got enough confidence to take it on the roads just yet.
Hopefully your videos will help me.
If we want to start the car on a steep hill, more uphill as shown in your video, releasing the brakes slowly will make the car moves backward very fast.
How do we stop that???
How do we start comfortably??
How come you recommend finding the bite first instead of setting the gas first? Is it because it will roll back slightly if you set the gas first on a hill?
Like can you keep your foot right down on the clutch give some gas and then bring the clutch up? Is this less of a chance of stalling? Sorry I’m a new driver just passed haha
Hi, did you do your test in St Albans. Any tips for the exam, and how do you deal with Holywell Hill? Thanks
Make a how to do a burnout video 🤪
Once I get an S2000 sure 🤣
Paynos lol 😂 your seat it’s fwd?
@@George-oj2nj bro you can't burnout every car. My 2010 Ibiza for example can't do it.
Domi nik I know, most of rear wheel drive cars can.
Bro you must see hlaf clutch in a real hill you can check out Mizoram driving half clutch just saying bro it can be different form place to place
For a small engine Petrol car. In case theres no handbrake applied. Our other leg is on the Brake. How do i give extra revs to increase Rpm.
nice vid
Lol what if you have manual brakes and can't press the clutch and brakes together all the way?
I can see with ur pedals why u keep ur heal on the floor as the clutch is quite small n looks very easy compared to mine. I have a brand new car and the clutch isn’t stiff but it isn’t loose either n my feet are just too small to keep my heal on the floor lmao great video tho il just stick to using my handbrake
Some people say using the clutch instead of handbrake is not a good method, they call it riding the clutch which is not good for clutch life. Is it true?
Yeah using the clutch to hold you everywhere will just shorten the life of it and they're expensive!
I’ll stick with the handbrake for now but as you said my learner car must have been a decal as I literally just held the clutch at the bite no handbrake no gas! And it just stayed. Just passed my test, did that in my own car and stalled it 😂😂 just needed gas and it was fine! Think I’ll stick with the handbrake though for now until I am more used to the car. Plus when I don’t use the handbrake and do it this way I do slightly roll back as I’m repositioning my feet is this normal? Or if I do it quicker would that stop that
Or will it always be the case?
this wont work in a 53 plymouth when all 3 pedals are at very different hights.
What's with the neo-soul music? 😂
With I had a third legg...
Can you rev at high rpm then release the clutch?
Not easy to do in a 1.0l petrol. The more torque a car has the easier it is. My ST225 can hill start without using the accelerator. Like a diesel.
# yeah, I’ve got a 1.0L Skoda Citigo and it does not like hill starting with only the clutch, I’ve tried before and nearly stalled because there just isn’t the power with a 1 litre engine
Cheeky bit of throttle should help
I use the clutch in the diesel if i want to move off quicker.
I have a 1.4 petrol merc a140 and while it seems quite hard to stall, the clutch doesnt seem to hold the car very well on hills
@@phantomtoast5747 If I had that I'd have a hand throttle so I could gas it w/o 3-pedalling
What are your shoes called?
Real questions, I want to know too
I never learned with a handbrake, and ive always had 1.2 petrol cars
yes, this is the right way, and you gave me a better explication than my instructor and my father haha
I came here not because I hate handbrake haha but because some time I don't have enough time for a handbrake. For example, reaching a stop sign and stopping just before it tells you to go again
Haha, yeah can’t use the handbrake all the time especially when you only have to stop for a few seconds. Maybe he explained in the video but how do toy stop the car from rolling back even if it’s slightly? I’m a new driver haha sorry
I have never used my handbrake other than using it to keep it parked
Why would you NOT use the handbrake? It's a lot easier as it frees up your right foot to concentrate on the accelerator pedal. All you have to do is to lift up the clutch to the biting point, a bit of gas and take the hand brake off, not sure why it should take a 6 and a half minute video to explain this very basic technique. It's the sort of thing you learn on your first lesson.
Why is it important to free up your right foot to concentrate on the accelerator?
What's the issue with stepping on the brake pedal with right foot, release clutch to bite point with left foot, then switch right foot from brake pedal to accelerator pedal?
@@eeyyaakk6801The "issue" is that there is no need to do it and just makes things overly complicated, it is also a touch safer, if you don't have the biting point exactly right, there is a chance that the car will roll back in that split second that it takes to transfer your foot from the brake to the throttle.
nice creps ;)
Crep check
Is everyone in the UK required to take the driving exam with a standard instead of an automatic?
-one of those American lads
No, but if you take an automatic exam, you can only drive automatics.. So most take a manual exam, then later in life might transition to automatic as their left leg gets tired :P
The default is to learn in a manual car as most cars are here, especially the first cars people have here, small hatchback are almost all manual. A manual license does mean you can drive an automatic as well though
I have trouble keeping my heel down. I have a golf Mk7 and the clutch travel is pretty damn long, if I push it all the way in and put my foot down, I don't seem to have enough angle in my heel to actually release the clutch. if anyone has any tips that would be really helpful, I only passed my test a couple weeks ago 😅
My driving instrukter never tought me how to hill start with the handbrake, only with the Clutch.
same
Seat supra r ?
