Few days ago I passed my driving test and you had a big part in it. I learned alot from you. Even now, when I already have a car and a driving license, I still learn so much from your videos. Keep it going! Thank you.
Richard, there is not a driving instructor on UA-cam that comes anywhere close to you in their instruction, professionalism, content or anything. Your videos and explanations are first class, Thank you!!!!
Wish my driving instructor was like this. Just had my first ever lesson, and he had me driving through after work traffic though main roads, intersections, roundabouts, backwards parking all within an hour of the first time behind the wheel. I don't think I've felt anxiety like that ever in my life.
that sucks man, i did it with my dad and I just got on the road today after like 10 hours of driving around a big parking lot to get used to speeding. braking, and turning with signaling. that guy shouldn't be a instructor at all
Last week was my first sessions in the ground I couldn't brake smoothly. And I found this video. Today was my first driving lesson on the road. Thanks to this video I was able to brake smoothly. ❤️🇿🇦🇿🇦
Richard, I just wanted you to know what a fabulous job you are doing for all of us learners. Thanks to your video, I'm now able to stop the car in a smoother manner.
German driving student here - this is exactly what I needed to remember the braking process after not having driven for more than 10 years. Thanks for an amazing video! Very clear explanation, excellent demonstration, hats off to you sir!
I'm getting ready to take the test after having not driven in 6 years, and found this video very motivational. In America, we call this the "limousine stop," and it was the first thing my driving instructor taught me back when I was 16. We spent a day on a clear road, in a Yaris, just driving a few carlengths and stopping, over and over. This breaking technique was grilled into me before I'd ever parked or made a single turn!
@@V_For_Vigilante nobody cares on your opinion on the country and its crime rate, crime rate has nothing to do with it, go back behind your little screen and maybe learn a bit of matters
Thank you so much! I've been driving for about 5 months now, and I find your videos are really helpful to me to fill in the gaps in my skills and to be a better driving instructor for my mother.
I get annoyed how people don't realise the little things make a large difference when it comes to driving. Eg. The heel positioning, or the sequence on how to balance clutch and the reasons why. When I asked, I was just shouted at and was told to do. How can one do something if they don't know how? Brilliant video man, from South Africa 🎉
Breaking is really important especially downhill. Although I recently got the license (at 18), I started driving at the age of 13, because my dad made me drive forcefully to do deliveries at dawn. I had to go through a hill to the other side of the town to do deliveries. I was afraid to drive in the beginning and made many mistakes, but eventually I picked up. The trick is to listen to your car. I then learned toe and hill technique to drive better on hills. Now that I look back, my dad taught me how to brake efficiently indirectly. What he used to do was give me a cup of water to put in the cup holder. He told me that if I don't spill the water, the tofu that I used to deliver would not get spoiled. I still hate driving, but my friends with whom I work at a gas station part-time, tell me that driving is fun. They are a part of some local racing team called Akina Speed Stars. Sounds funny. Anyway, it's dawn already and I need to do deliveries otherwise my old man would give me hell. Ciao.
Good like, I hope you learn to enjoy driving soon. Initial D is a great film that may interest you. If I remember correctly it was about a guy who did deliveries and loved driving.
@@ConquerDriving I posted that as a joke basically calling myself the protagonist of Initial D and behaving as if I'm breaking the fourth wall. :D I like driving and I want to learn to drift as well. I love watching your videos. They are so informative and helpful for anyone learning to drive. Keep posting this good stuff!
I love your teaching *so much* 😭 Even 800 km into my practice driving, I keep having this issue where I want to brake into a very small space, like one of those pockets on the side of narrow countryside roads, and I'll brake really smooth until I get to the last bit and whomever is next to me (mom or grandma) is starting to yell at me because I'm getting too close to the end of the pocket, and I slam the rest of the brake for a complete stop, and they get all grumpy. But NO-ONE TOLD ME to *release the brake smoothly,* smh! In my autistic brain, a full stop requires fully pressing the brake. Where my mother, my grandmother, the country's provided driver's license theory textbooks, and my driving teacher have all failed in making things make sense to me, you just keep hitting me with lightbulb moment after lightbulb moment!
Always aim to over brake slightly so you can reduce the level of braking near the end of your stop allowing you to roll as bit. That will allow you time to position your car more accurately and make everyone else in the car feel more relaxed.
@inlé's inlet One of the important things to realise about braking, it's not about pedal position but rather about the amount of pressure you are applying to the pedal. The harder you are pressing, the greater the pressure the brake pads are applying to the rotors. You are effectively squeezing something, squeeze to the maximum pressure you think you will need fairly fast, when the wheels are spinning at their fastest; then gently relax the squeeze as wheel speed drops. I don't know what shoes you are driving in, but consider using something with a thin sole, that you can really feel the pedal with. Modern cars do what they can to numb all feeling you have, you have to take measures to get some of the feeling back.
When coming to a halt, I have always practised "feathering off the braking to avoid bonnet dip" (as my driving instructor put it). I have done it for so long that it is second nature to me and I don't even have to think about it. I have also passed on the technique to others . Now, after many years, I am driving my first automatic and I find it harder to do in an auto. Normally, in a manual, when coming to a nice controlled halt, I gradually ease off the braking as I approach 0 mph until there is only enough pressure on the brake pedal to complete the halt as I depress the clutch and come to a total stop. This results in a nice smooth stop with almost no perceptible bonnet dip or "jolt back" into the seat (just as described in the video). My passengers sometimes even mention how smooth my braking is. However, in an auto, I'm struggling to make it as smooth. Why? Because, as I get to an "almost stopped" speed, if I am braking too lightly, the traffic-creep feature of the automatic takes over and actively prevents me stopping. i.e. the engine is fighting the brakes. If I brake heavily enough to overcome the creep, then there is a small "jolt back" as the car comes to a complete stop. I have tried to find a nice balance of enough pressure to overcome the creep and stop, but not so much that the jolt-back happens. However, so far it has eluded me. (Don't get me wrong, the jolt isn't bad; it's just not as smooth as I want.) So, can anyone suggest how to overcome this? I'd like to get my completely smooth halts back. The video is titled "How to brake smoothly in manual *and automatic* cars" but it doesn't seem to address this specific issue.
Yes you do, all the love from Morocco, your tips helped me not stall so thank you, that was my biggest fear, you also helped me with hills, where I live there are hills everywhere.
Thank you so much for making these videos. Very detailed and structured, absolutely helpful as preparation or review materials for my driving sessions with the instructor.
thank you for this, im starting EMT school soon while also taking my very first steps as a baby driver and honestly what scares me more than anything about it all is the driving. i don't wanna make anyone miss an IV or hurt anyone's spine by breaking an ambulance too hard, and one thing I know I suck at is breaking. ill try this next time I drive it was so helpful
Need to try this asap! Ive always been so confused on how my parents get a smooth stop and why mine always jolted a little at the end but this makes so much sense thank you
I'm American, and have been a licensed driver for 15 years. I can do a perfect chauffeur stop in an automatic. I recently bought a new manual car, because for years I've wanted to learn how to drive a stick shift. In this video, you just discuss the brake pedal. But it's not clear to me what you do with the clutch pedal. I've been doing jerky stops in my new 2020 Corolla hatchback, because I'm basically having to re-learn how to brake. How do you do a smooth, slow braking without stalling? At what point do you press down and hold the clutch? Anyway, thank you for putting out these videos! I don't like most of the American videos, because it's mostly young men showing how to do "cool race car moves." Your videos are just everyday driving situations, which is exactly what I need. Wish I was in the UK, so I could take stick shift lessons from you personally!
@@ConquerDriving I watched the video you linked here. In fact, I watched it twice! It was very helpful! I practiced what you taught in that video. This time around, I was able to do slower, smoother stops, without the fear of stalling. I still have room for improvement, so I will continue to practice.
These videos are absolutely AMAZING and I can’t wait to show my driving instructor how far I have come thanks to you! could you do some videos about reversing and how to maintain the best control and knowing which direction to turn the wheel?
As a learner I learnt this myself when stopping on the family automatic car, but then when I got into my instructors manual car the brake pedal is a lot stiffer and a lot more difficult to modulate.
I was awar if chauffeur stop before but I justt discovered your channel and after watching this video of yours I have no hesitation in subscribing to your channel. You are awesome Sir!
had a drive around a quiet place with my dad in a narrowed although ive learned for few months, but absolutely nailed it thanks for your beginner guide, plus some driving sims as well as a car lover, cheers!
This is a good video. You can also feather the brake til you perfect. Actually feathering is good practice all the time. Every time I drive I aim for the perfect stops. Good for kids.
0:57 A fun fact is that your description of it being "the rate of how quickly you change the rate of slowing down" is the correct description of the Physics concept of the second derivative of velocity (which is actually called a jerk!). Hence why when we reduce this we feel like "jerkiness"
Tried it & amazed it worked I also do keep my distance from other cars & even when st higher speed was amazed again!! Please keep up your vedeos a fan from the US
I act like I’m in a car in front of a car with no brakes trying to slow that car down. You want to slow down gently until the car hits the back bumper gently and locks on, then you can push the brake more and let off a small bit before you stop. Idk if that makes much sense but that’s kinda how I picture it in my head. I have my license and I can drive pretty good, but I’m working on driving for better fuel economy. So this is one of the things I’m working on. As far as my driving test, (in Ohio USA) my instructor said the examiner is LOOKING for that jolt back, but not to the point where they almost fall out of their seat.
This is jolt, which is a third order derivative. 1st order is a vector velocity (change in position over time) measured in metres per second. 2nd order is acceleration (change in velocity over time) measured in metres per second squared. 3rd order is jolt (change in acceleration over time) measured in metres per second cubed.
In Asia especially Japan, they don't use necklaces to train new drivers. Instead they put tofu in the boot/trunk and a cup of water in the cup holder. If you either spill the water or damage the tofu, then you know you're doing it wrong.
Just started watching your videos and its been very informative form tomorrow ill try to drive my father's car i didn't even know how to move a car form stand still to drive very comfortable n constant speed when i try to break its too hard or too slow and then my sperat dies when i do some mistakes i hope I'll try my best tomorrow.

@Conquer Driving bro thanks for this video as it help me so much even though you have explained me in comment box last 2 weeks ago...this video makes me a very good understanding based on your foot control on brake pedal...keep it up bro and do so much video like this😎😎👍👍❤️❤️
i had my first lesson the other week and my poor driving instructor flew forwards when she asked me to stop LMAO we both cracked up about it but boy did i feel bad 🤣 hopefully next lesson won’t send her flying 😌
It's normal for new drivers to brake too hard. I get pupils practising the brake with the dual control whilst I drive, I find that's the quickest way to get skill with the brake pedal.
You're videos have helped me alot. Could you make a video of slowing down from a dual carridge way from the feet view? I'm really struggling with this. Thank you.
I used to do this in my last car which was an automatic. I thought I was the only one who thought like this lol. Now I have my first stick and I feel like I need to learn all over again
Haven’t thought of using something hanging like that to drive smoother. Ima start doing that and try getting smoothest possible driving and increase speed until I can go fast and smooth
In physics, the rate of change of acceleration is called Jerk, which I think is a rather fitting name. And I have heard stories of people who had warped their brake discs by braking too slowly in an effort to slow down really smoothly.
I've not heard of warping brake discs from smooth deceleration. It's hard braking from high speed generating too much heat that's normally the cause as far as I know.
@@ConquerDriving I believe the reason why this happened was that he was braking far too slowly. If I remember correctly, he claimed to be able to brake smoothly and slowly enough to not spill a full cup of coffee.
@@narlywaves2371 I'm really not, though. I take my foot off the gas when I see a red in the distance and generally try to drive economically. Even if I did get lead foot syndrome, my car does 0-60 mph in 14 seconds, which is really slow, so there's no room to be aggressive really. The anecdote I heard regarding warped brake discs was from a Quora post I read years ago, so my memory might be off.
It sounds exactly like what's called jerk in physics, which is how quickly you accelerate or decelerate. It must be well named because it's literally what jerks you back into your seat when you don't get off the brake while stopping
I use the same method of measuring how harsh I drive. But instead of a necklace, I have a rosary hanging on the mirror. In general, I notice that I drive a lot smoother when my wife and child is with me as compared when I'm alone.
😂 I don't think I'll be doing a coffee spilling video anytime soon. Especially as I should be encouraging people not to consume beverages when driving.
@@ConquerDriving Oh no, sorry 🤣 Just forget the latter and if you got time, consider the first request. Thanks and more power to your informative channel.
Everytime my car breaks like a feather, my heart starts beating because of the pleasure it gives me
Haha, that's nice to know.
Actually no, I have my own car now and I couldn't care less if I brake like a chauffeur. :)
It's Abit concerning if ya heart ain't beating mate

That is true. I hope it helps you.
Yes are you close with Zlatan?
How's his driving?
He's one of the most confident individuals I've seen...
You explain good.
Really good teach.
From India.
Thank You
Thank you for this lovely video. 04:44
You're videos have helped me alot. Could you make a video of slowing down from a dual carridge way from the feet view? I'm really struggling with this. Thank you.
Best not to focus on the feet, that's wherever most people go wrong. Focus on where you're tying to stop and feel if you're braking enough.
@@ConquerDriving thank you. Im not sure if im braking to hard but my car starts to judder when slowing down from a high speed
Your videos are very helpful. Keep up the good work.
Thank you.
I like your teaching you go into much smaller detail.
I used to do this in my last car which was an automatic. I thought I was the only one who thought like this lol. Now I have my first stick and I feel like I need to learn all over again
You r excellent at your explanation
Haven’t thought of using something hanging like that to drive smoother. Ima start doing that and try getting smoothest possible driving and increase speed until I can go fast and smooth
Thank you for good explaination.
I wish you were based in east London! You’re awesome !
GREAT VIDEO MATE!!!
Thank you!
In physics, the rate of change of acceleration is called Jerk, which I think is a rather fitting name. And I have heard stories of people who had warped their brake discs by braking too slowly in an effort to slow down really smoothly.
I've not heard of warping brake discs from smooth deceleration. It's hard braking from high speed generating too much heat that's normally the cause as far as I know.
@@ConquerDriving I believe the reason why this happened was that he was braking far too slowly. If I remember correctly, he claimed to be able to brake smoothly and slowly enough to not spill a full cup of coffee.
@@quinnobi42 just tell us you are agressive driver with a lead foot..
@@narlywaves2371 I'm really not, though. I take my foot off the gas when I see a red in the distance and generally try to drive economically. Even if I did get lead foot syndrome, my car does 0-60 mph in 14 seconds, which is really slow, so there's no room to be aggressive really. The anecdote I heard regarding warped brake discs was from a Quora post I read years ago, so my memory might be off.
It sounds exactly like what's called jerk in physics, which is how quickly you accelerate or decelerate. It must be well named because it's literally what jerks you back into your seat when you don't get off the brake while stopping
I use the same method of measuring how harsh I drive. But instead of a necklace, I have a rosary hanging on the mirror. In general, I notice that I drive a lot smoother when my wife and child is with me as compared when I'm alone.
I guess that would be the same for me to!
Goodness me, as a "brick-layer" braker rather than a "ballet-dancer" braker I loved this. Hope you returned the necklace !!
Haha, yes it's back in her jewellery box.
Many thanks mate, that was sooo helpful.
I dont know why i keep on watching these videos and i dont even have a car
Ready for when you do get a car.
perfect method and teaching, thank you
Very informative 👍🏻
your videos help me alot
I would really like you to be my driving instructor 😁. Are you still teaching people?
Thank you. Currently I'm only able to teach key workers but I'm hopeful that I'll be able to teach sometime in July.
another good one
u r amazing.. love from india
Just i want to say big thank u for u
You help me so much with all ur video
You're welcome ☺
you are the best!
Thankyou so much.
4:43 this the key part for me. So do you downshift or keep it in gear?
You don't need to change gears to stop, as long as the clutch is down it will not stall.
Thanks. This is very helpful.
You're welcome.
Drive your car like you would a train.
Brilliant video thank you very much
Smooth is my style. Unfortunately in the US, the norm is to brake late and hard. Many will try to pass people that brake even a little early.
Hi my friend , thanks a lot
You're welcome.
Sir, can you do a video about curve/sharp curve smooth driving and how not to spill coffee when turning? Thanks.
😂 I don't think I'll be doing a coffee spilling video anytime soon. Especially as I should be encouraging people not to consume beverages when driving.
@@ConquerDriving Oh no, sorry 🤣 Just forget the latter and if you got time, consider the first request. Thanks and more power to your informative channel.
