only 1 stall in 20 minutes of learning stick? She did pretty good for her first time
+Mike234 ahh i didnt realize they were in a truck lol i guess it does work wonders
+GGradilla I agree, I stalled a million times when first in a car because my only instructs were 'just drive'. Though when with an instructor for the first time i didn't stall once (though with out duel controls i would have because of a HUGE delay when trying to change into third) It's super daunting trying to manage the road position, pedals and working out which gear you need for the situation.
because trucks don't stall that easy
Wish woody was my dad, so I could learn how to drive stick, also then I would have a dad.
Teach me father.
I don't know if you're being serious. But that would make for a very funny joke
***** " he is black daddy is gone " racist eh? bet your wouldnt say that infront of a " black guy " in person
rybo30 HONEY ! WHERE IS MY SUPER SUIT
My mom tried to teach me but she used extremely non technical words making it extremely difficult to understand. I watched one UA-cam video and i had no problems besides the occasional stall that all new standard drivers get.
I have a bad feeling that hope will inherit Jackie's driving skills...
This is a perfect vid, woody. My parents bought me a VW Jetta the other day, which is a stick. I was planning on teaching myself but this was perfect for setting me on track to avoid stalls and embarrassing accidents. Thank you so much.
Thanks for the comment. It makes it feel worth while. :)
1.8T or 2.sl0w?
WoodysGamertag Yeah i watched up to 20 youtube videos before i got into a manual. They were great visually, but your descriptions and physics behind it were very helpful. I could've learned a lot from this, before. Describing the mechanics of the gears helps everyone. Whether they believe it or not.
they bough you a car without having an license ?
WoodysGamertag nice video, here in the uk, barely anyone goes for automatic, you don't see automatic cars often but hand over hand just ties you up in emergency situations and will fail you on a exam, we generally use a pull/push technique which is at least in england, considered 10x safer
Woody, you're an excellent driving teacher. You didn't once freak out and terrify the learning driver, your instructions were clear and concise. If you could have taught me I never would have had to pay $700 for driving lessons from a driving school.
You get free driving lessons at school? Jesus, it's £25 for a 1 hour lesson in Britain... And you need on average 30 to pass...
You could easily do it in less but I feel they just try and get more money out of you
When I was in high school, they offered free driving lessons, and you could take your test if you took the lessons.
***** Although i agree they try to get more money out of you, its good to have a few more and be confident on the roads and make sure you dont crash after you pass. I passed in 25 hours and it felt about right to me tbh.
afsheen07 you don't "need" any in england, you normally have about 30 before your instructor normally say you are ready
afsheen07 it seems to me that australia has a much easier test
I think she's been sneaking out and driving the car, she is to good haha
Isn't hard
Driving is, at least for me, a very natural thing to do. It didn't take a whole lot of practice for me to become proficient at it.
On my first ever time driving I got to bay park reverse between real cars.
Couldn't drive In a straight line past second, but fking awesome at parking.
She was ok.
Masterpkerko1 or she's been in her mom's car before. You know, like most kids....?
Sean Downes Its like a new game play it for and hour or two and the controls become natural,Gamers should find driving easy.
It seems like an odd thing in america to drive a manual car (what you guys call a 'stick shift') To me, 90% of learning to drive is using the clutch and gears - when you guys learn on automatics isnt it literally just putting the gas on, braking and turning? lol
That just about describes the mechanics of driving an automatic. The real challenge is the other drivers.
WoodysGamertag Yeah true, being prepared for whatever other drivers might do is a challenger at first. I passed my test at the end of june and a van almost crashed into me last week. 60mph road and he did a u-turn right in front of me, had to do an emergency stop and even then it was a super close call....
I'm English btw, [God] RV27 on WoodyCraft.
WoodysGamertag Especially if you live in a city like New York.
most people here call manuals "standard" actually. which is funny because theyre not the true standard here
i live in greece and here the majority off the cars are manuals....only people who cant drive are buying them like grannys, bad drivers that they know they are bad etc.
Come on Woody, you need to hold teenagers interest to get them to really learn something. Jumping straight into explaining what a clutch does in an engine isn't gonna help her with starting in first gear.
The worst thing is that the engine is running the *entire time*. Americans really don't have any environmental awareness whatsoever...
Scylla i dont think anybody in any country gives a shit about idling their engine for 5 minutes
Scylla Of all the shit that's going on in the world, this guy's worried about how an idle engine is running for a few minutes. Amazing.
Scylla That's a little ridiculous for you to say. Such a generalization makes you look arrogant and stupid. Maybe you like looking that way, it's hard to say.
I beg to differ. When teaching things like driving a car or operating machinery in general, it is always a good idea to not simply tell someone to do something but also explain why they are doing it. This plays a big part in not only helping them understand the process but helping them feel confident in what they are doing.
I watched this video 10 minutes before the start of my first driving lesson and it helped me incredibly. I nailed the clutch and gear shifts perfectly and even my driving instructor said it was very good for my first lesson. Team RSK baby! We got each other's backs.
The rules might be different in NC, but I know that in PA, if you let the wheel slip back through your hands so that you're going straight, you'll fail the test. Like at 10:08. What I was told I HAD to do in order to pass was do the same hand-over-hand motion to go straight after a turn. Since passing the test, I've never done it the way I was taught XD just a heads up so that she doesn't fail for a dumb rule
I live in NC and in drivers ed they teach you to just barely let your hands off to let the car make itself straight. So yeah
Doing hand over hand in the UK would see you fail, you're supposed to do like a shuffle, hand to hand without going over one another
***** I also live in NC and they told me you have to do the hand over hand thing....hm...
I also live in PA! Right outside of Philly.
ShadowKiller571 Oh god I remember that permit test. I luckily passed it the first time BARELY.
A stick shift drivers worst enemy = steep hills.
Or a traffic jam
Ethannnn Not hard unless you have a really heavy clutch.
Never had a problem with traffic or hills having A "stick", it's actually easier than an automatic..lol
No it's not easier man, it's easy when you're good but nothing is easier than pushing into the brake pedal only lol
I think slow moving/stop and go traffic in parking lots is worse.
You say "awesome hand over hand" but if you did that during your test in the UK they'd mark you down for it because you're taking your hand off the wheel which means you're not 100% in control!
Seen this a lot in the comments and I'm wondering what this is about. The only time that you're moving the wheel enough to require hand over hand is at relatively low speeds. In my time driving I can't say I've had to use hand over hand above 30mph... even in vehicles with a wider than normal turning radius. That said, why does one hand being off the wheel for half of a second even matter? Especially nowadays when everything has my driver aides than one can count.
IAMJAKETRIMBLE If you're moving at a low speed but need to use hand over hand, you're going too fast.
Have a hand off the wheel for half a second and you're not changing gear? You are not in full control of the car. Therefore, you are less capable of driving it properly. The other problem is that should something happen during that time, your mind is going to be thinking "get hand back on wheel" - which means it's not fully occupied with the situation that caused the panic.
You're taught to do it right because one day you might be in a situation where you don't have all the nice modern tech to help you, and then you'll be glad you learned it properly.
So i guess your not allowerd to change gears either? That might get your hand of the wheel 2 whole seconds!
Rune Sørensen Well you shouldn't be turning when changing gears so that's a little different. Not saying these things aren't easy to do, because they are. But as a new driver they teach you the "right" way to do things and try to drill them into you and form good habits so you don't develop and drive with bad habits. Drive however you like, I was just commenting that things were different in the UK. I don't make the rules :)
In the UK they friggin mark you down if you breath too loudly in fear of endangering other drivers. What do you expect.
What an awesome dad you are. I wish my dad would have been this patient and helpful when I was learning to drive a manual transmission car.
Same, i'm currently learning but it's stressful as fuck with someone who barely wants to teach you :(
The best thing you can do is get the basics and practice the skill on your own. Sometimes just being along in the car and doing it without the stress of being taught helps.
In the US are people taught to steer hand over hand like the way he was showing in the video? Because here in the UK it's a big no no lol
yeah in Australia you fail your test if you do hand over hand, apparently you have less control
***** take this as a grain of salt as I am only 15 but I believe hand over hand is bad as you don't have good control. if you were to hit a rock or bump and then wheels were to venture the opposite direction it would be hard to control if you where using hand over hand steering. you are encouraged to change direction of the steer by have one hand on the steer and letting it skim through and the other pushing the wheel.
so if you were turning left you would have your right hand skimming the wheel and left turning the wheel.
and I'd turning right have left skimming wheel and right turning.
I learnt this in agriculture so I might not be the best source.
***** Here you have to keep your hands at 9.15 and while turning you have let the wheel slide through your hands, it's the most awkward way of doing it but i guess you always have control that way. It's the first thing you learn over here pretty much.
Yeah, this whole video I was thinking about the amount of shit my driving instructor would be giving Woody.
ZeroDedication yeah same! The coasting to a stop as well. It's interesting to see how different countries teach it cause i thought we all learnt the same thing.
My dad bought me a 94 mustang, my dream car, as my first car but it was standard. He said if I wanted to drive it I would have to teach myself how to drive stick. He tough me a bit but with him working everyday all day it was hard for him to give me proper lessons. Now I'm pretty decent at driving standard & it's a lot of fun.
I'm 16 almost 17 and my dad hasn't even made an effort to sign me up for drivers ed or teach me how to drive. Hope's lucky to learn now and not later.
Why is it his responsibility to sign you up for Drivers Ed?
You're a big boy. Do it yourself
SaintsCanucks NerdGasem I can't do it myself because I need a way to get there because I obviously can't drive and I need my dad's signature.
Bro I know people just like you. If you have normal parents keep bugging him or you really don't wanna drive and if that's true you're a bitch
CommentMasterBoom What if he lived in a small town like me and there is no bus, train, taxi whatever and his dad refuses to let him that why i say you don't know his story and that you can't say that he is a spoiled brat and wants his daddy to do it
4:00 The sticks I learned to drive on were column-shift three-speeds, the very first with overdrive and hill-holder. They did not have the shift pattern on the selector knob. As for the H-pattern, Packard pioneered that around 1899, and it soon became the default shift pattern. Reverse back (or left for floor shifters) and up, first back and down, second forward (or right) and up, third forward and down. Some (notably Buicks into the mid-twenties) switched the left and right planes, but by the thirties the standard was essentially universal. Column shifts for 3-speeds were introduced about 1937 and by 1940 almost all US-built cars had column shifters. Some foreign and a very few US cars adopted 4-speed column shifts. Gradually, car makers phased in standard automatics on most models, and phased column-shift manuals out altogether. Makes that '68 Biscayne or that '76 Coronet unstealable because most kids are too lazy to learn to drive a stick now let alone a column shift. And I won't tell you where the starter button on my Studebaker was.
id really like it if you continued with this series woody. My dad tried to teach me and it was borderline traumatising, its nice to be able to learn the mechanics without the pressure
You got the gear size backwards Woody- the bigger the gear the faster you'd go since it's fewer motor RPM per wheel RPM. If you think of the gears on a bike it's easier to visualise - the smaller the gear the more you need to pedal in order to go anywhere, but also the less pressure you need to put on the pedals (which equates to torque in a car). Other than that this was a very good beginner's lesson.
SAVE THE MANUALS!
Shoutout to caranddriver
I agree with you 110%
American problem. We have no automatic drivers in uk
***** Very American problem. As an American the only times I wish I had an automatic is when I'm forced to destroy my clutch in traffic from time to time. 10mph in 1st is hardly possible without stalling.
Ryan Holmes i feel so bad for my clutch when i have to drive in traffic, but my truck handles 10mph pretty good in first it doesnt really get to the stalling point until maybe 3mph then i push in my clutch.
veteran mode: driving a stick shift up a hill backwards...
woody is hot
This man has excellent eyesight!!!
WoodysGamertag I'd love to see how she gets on with reversing that car up the road.
I've watched several stick shift how-to videos but this is the first one that actually helped me understand how the whole process works. I love that you explained the physics behind how it all works in the beginning. Great video Woody :D
Teach her to drive my stick shift.
You obviously don't catch my drift, if you know what I mean.
***** The joke.
Your head.
I don't understand? Is this some sort of crude joke?
;)
***** I'm talking about her riding on my stick, you guys are oblivious.
nope Only Omar didnt get it.
I haven't gotten the chance to drive a stick yet so I actually found this kind of helpful. Not sure about it being a series though.
I bet everyone in the comments knows a better way to teach someone to drive. And I bet those know it alls don't even drive yet...but they know best.
my instructer taught me it the same way a year ago when I just started I personally think woody is a really good teatcher
MessiahNerves I personally think that your next lesson, should be the use of correct grammar.
XD0M1N8T0RX | PC & Xbox Gaming! well im not on about the stearing. just the stick itself which lots of people have difficulty with it for some reason.
MessiahNerves I found changing gear quite easy, but I was just in a small Renault so it was probably much easier to change gear.
Best way to teach someone how to drive stick, is tell them to sit in the car and go.
Smart move teaching her to drive stick in a rear-wheel drive vehicle. My dad told me (and this is somewhat relevant) that clutch jobs are a pain in the ass on front-wheel drive cars. At some point, I plan on looking around for a Miata for that reason, along with there being quite the abundance of 5 speed Miatas.
I've noticed in a lot of American "teaching manual" videos that they are told to take the parking (emergency) brake off first before setting the pedals. In the UK I was always taught to find my biting point and prepare to move off before releasing the parking brake. I assume to stop the car rolling back or forward while you find your feet. Is this wrong?
+Sheena Waldron I think so, I was taught the same way as you, but I was only required to do it in the first days and also on the test day.
I still remember that day of my driving lessons when I was starting downhill and I first tried to find the biting point (as usual), so the instructor told me to do that only on uphills, he just said to release all brakes and go straight to the gas and find the biting point with the car already moving and to start getting used to do it, one of the most helpful tips I had :D
Yes, that is the correct way to do it and for those reasons.
When woody was explaining what the clutch did for the first few minutes of the video Hope was just completely lost XD
I've been wanting to learn how to drive stick for the longest and there are no good videos out there so this really helped a lot.
Dont you have a parent to teach you?
Watch a motorcycle video. WHY. Because you can see the "stick"(clutch), if it makes it easier it's on the left handle bar, instead of using your feet, makes it much easier to learn
***** Because i have parents, that means thet know how to drive a manuel car.
Check out vehicle virgins channel. I think they have 6 really good instructional videos. I was trying to teach my younger brother to drive stick on his 2005 subaru imprezza rs 2.5 and it just wasnt clicking with him (specifically the stop and go) but those videos really helped him out.
CommentMasterBoom Yeah I actually learned a ton from youtube alone. Woody does have very informative things to offer. It would've been nice to see this when I was learning.
Hope seems to be a real natural on camera, she has been for years. You have some great kids woody
The only thing I take issue with is the "E-brake" thing.
It's not an emergency brake. It is to stop the car from moving, but applying it in any situation except parking will only make the problem worse because you lose control.
It is called a parking brake, and referring to it as such will stop people using it in emergencies.
Holy hell, the lone fact that she didn't stall the first time was pretty good! I stalled quite a lot when I first learned how to drive stick. Way to go Hope.
anyone else think hope looks like Sansa stark from game of thrones? oh and good job driving!
I have to say, I'm impressed of how well Hope did. I'm German and I only learned how to drive stick. I didn't do nearly as well as she did during my first lesson. She really made it look easy, so props to her!
My first car is a mustang.
you want a cookie?
Who said i was bragging I just said what my first car is.
Hella Mexican!
o Lemurs It could be a Boss 429, a GT500, a GT350R, a Mach 1. You don't know. There have been plenty of Mustangs to come out since 1964 which are worth bragging about.
Well, I'm 16 so the chances of me having a Boss or a brand new Mustang are next to none.
If anyone reading this finds they have problems with hill starts here is my advice... Rev it to 2/3000rpm with the clutch on the bite and raise the clutch as soon as you take the handbrake off, keep the revs constant or higher but don't let them drop and lift the clutch and you should find you pull up instantly as long as you have got the bite successfully .... :)
Next Upload: Woody teaches Hope about sex and uploads it to his channel
Hope is so lucky having woody teach her for her first driving/manual transmission lesson. My dad taught me and the first time he made me go out on a main road. It wasn't pretty. I stalled the car about 7 times at an intersection and all the cars behind me had to wait until the next light. Not to mention it was at an incline and my dad was screaming at me. Oh it was awful.
Hope can drive my stick
*tips fedora*
I watched my dad do this from like age 5-7 and at 8 he told me to drive his truck around to the back of the house and I got it no problem. For some reason the logic behind a stick just clicked and then watching him for 3 years helped.
she did better than some guys on driving stick for the first time.
Your daughter is super patient for listening to your description of how the clutch works when I'm sure she just wanted to DRIVE! You have a nice family.
This sucks, I have to get a job, buy a car and pay for insurance so I can learn how to drive. But through programs I already know how to fly a glider. (Aircraft with no engine)
And I'm 16.
welcome to life. good luck.
So you took a little scouts program that your mommy signed you up for and you were trained to fly one thing, and now you think you do not need to get a car or a job? I am 16 and you made me sad...
Thanks for sharing, I came to this video to hear someone hear someone complain and tell me what he can fly
BaconMan Driving seems cooler than flying to me at this point.
Your daughter was actually a pretty good driver for her first attempt at driving a manual. Credit to her and you as an instructor.
MAKE THIS A SERIES! please 😃
Kudos to you Woody. You are more patient than I consider myself.
hand over hand is bad, because the first time she has a front collision, hope not. but when and if she does shes going to break her arms if she has them crossed.
no you wouldn't, because your hands wouldn't receive the full explosion of an airbag. think of when you cross your arms, both of them are ontop of each other over the airbag, as soon as that thing deploys theyre either gonna break or smack into your face.
well thats why your hands should be placed at 4-8 not at 10-2 like most people thing for that exact reason, and also for the fact that 4-8 gives you more range of motions.
LackingExperience
Did you just reply to your own comment twice?
your not underhanded, your just holding the wheel on the sides. but its whatever, i was merely stating what my state requires us to learn.
depends on the wheel and arches, but your hands would look like this ww1.hdnux.com/photos/12/44/00/2768940/8/628x471.jpg
I have a stick shift truck, at first I hated it. Not going to lie. But after I learned how to drive I loved it. I've been driving for over 6 months now and I haven't had any problems and I shift nearly perfectly. Best luck to Hope! It takes some time to get use to it but it gets easier as you go :D
This I a pretty good series idea.
I just completed my first driving lesson in the UK, and by no means am i any good ofcourse, but listening to what you've told hope compared to what I was just told, there are already some differences, such as coasting, You're not allowed to coast in the UK, nor are you allowed to go hand over hand when steering, you have to let one hand slide down and use the other to pull the wheel in the direction you wan't to go, It's quite interesting seeing the difference:) Good job hope!
I'll teach Hope to shift on my stick. I'm only a year older.
Eww
How do you feel about this comment 5 years later?
Considering this is her first time driving she didn't do bad at all. It's quite entertaining to watch someone learn to drive.
I took drivers Ed, on my final drive I just stepped on the gas so hard we went back on our seats lol. I got 90/100 for that
lmaoo
I think she did really well, and I think Woody did really well as an instructor. It suits him in his ways of explaining things in detail with demonstrations.
I reckon she wasn't listening when you went on a clutch rant.
Woody this was actually an amazing video! I'm 16 and I learned how to drive a manual a few months ago. My dad tried teaching me, but eventually I just took the car out to teach myself. If this came out a few months ago while I was learning, it would have for sure helped me. If you're learning or plan on learning of how to drive a stick shift, this is a great video to pay attention to.
Somehow this was very entertaining
She surprisingly did quite well for her first time! Only 1 stall, but shifting is a bit rough. Doesn't matter since shes still learning
I love how first time stick drivers always slam the stickshift around haha makes me cringe.
I know right it looks like its gonna break any moment.
Unbelievable that you can drive a manual car in America without getting a manual licence. Your driving standards are ridiculous.
Well if you think about it, how are you gonna drive a manual car unless you know how to drive a manual car
+DS Graphics What's that got to do with it? If you haven't passed a test to PROVE you know how to drive a manual car properly, you should not be able to own one. This is the law in every European country.
+ojideagu what I'm saying is that how could you literally drive a car if you don't know how already know or are in the process of learning how to drive a car. But I get what you're saying, someone can know the basics, but not how to do more complicated things. Well yeah, but I feel they would only make it a law if people were being injured/dying because of it otherwise no one would care
+alex ojideagu This America we YOLO here
+Potted OSRS That is insanity
ya, i had to learn to drive stick shift, at least she doesn't have to learn in San Fran.
OMG! Every one gets it wrong you should never apply clutch before the break when coming to a stop. Because as you no there is no longer any friction ( engine
braking) there for the car will just free role which is incredibly dangerous. I understand this was just to make it easier for her, but you should never tell her
wrong for it can become hard to change habits.
My test is on October 27th....The UK test is a lot harder than most.... wish me luck?
How did you do?
I passed :) 9 minors
Joel Fernandez
Well done mate!
clutch simple concept:
boys- when moving off the clutch to the accelerate be gentle like your first time with a girl you LOVE
girls - when moving off the clutch be gentle like you want/ed your man to be gentle with you when you tell him "it's your first time"
folkes' who don't like boys/girls never been there have no idea how yall get your first time done but i assume concept is similar
its called a manual
Yea and you're adopted.
IFHY_ALL orphanages are not funny
nickdijcj1 So the building in which they reside is offensive, but the making fun of the orphans themselves is fine, Btw stick shift is a nickname, like tranny is for transmission. you wouldnt know useing this kind of terminology because your 5,
MrBillisk >your 5
>oxymoronic af
I've been learning to drive manual since around July, so it is interesting seeing how Woody teaches the basics as opposed to how my dad is taught me.
15.. is there a country I wouldn't get arrested? mmh.
Bruh.... That's gross
Congo
Ask Kyle
Idc
You are one filthy little fucker, you need help mate
If hope doesnt have her liscense yet i vote for a new series - Learning To Drive With The Gamertags
Not true. Shift between 2-3k for best fuel economy,
lol economy while u driving a car. if u care about it that much - dont drive
You don't understand fuel economy at all. Don't comment things like this.
depens what type of car you using. my friend has a car in which its better to shift at 3500 - 3700 rpm.
Matt is right. In Europe we teach that in schools. Go ahead and shift at 3K+ if u don't care about gas. Just shift at 2300-2700. Ofc in First gear you might shift a little bit later for the acceleration but overall thats the norm.
xStiiGz if you care about gas and you dont have that powerfull of an engine you may aswell drive away in 2nd gear you can accelerate quik and you skip the 1st gear which uses the most gas.
no matter what, video recording the lessons either for youtube or personal use, is always a great idea, to see how the communication works out between the 2 and how to adjust for the next lessons
So are woody and Jackie still together?
Yes, and we always will be.
Thanks Woody! I'm so happy you replied :) I love your videos !! Teach me how to drive please lol.
That's good that you guys are together :) I hardly see Jackie anymore.
Thanks for the video Woody. I'm 20 and Australian and have had my automatic license for 2 years and have recently bought a manual truck so I have to resit my test for my manual license. I know how to drive stick, but it's always good seeing somebody else's lesson as you had a few words of insight I haven't heard before.
Never thought I'd see the day where a Woodysgamertag video only got 77,000 views lol. Wow, how the mighty have fallen.
Something very helpful and important to teach people new to standards is the contact point. If anyone is planning on teaching someone how to drive, one of the first things to be taught is that point where the clutch starts to engage. This is very important.
It's 2014. Driving stick is not a valuable skill anymore.
it is for people who have a manual lmao. also for people like myself who only buy stick shifts. (way more enjoyable)
it is if you actually like driving and give a shit about cars lol.
LOl are you kidding me how do you think your shit gets to stores a truck and guess what THEIR STICK SHIFT....
Well to someone who owns a stick shift, I can tell you that driving it is way more fun for 1, and for 2 you get a better feel for your car when your driving stick, Automatics the car does all the work, stick shifts you have to "help" the car move.
***** You know whats up i enjoy driving my truck if it was not stick, i probably would not wanna drive it.
you're a great dad woody.
15 almost legal
Great job Hope. I wish I had Woody teaching me when I learned how to drive, my driving lessons had quite a bit more screaming.
What a kick ass dad
Hope has grown up a lot since you started Woody. Pretty cool to see that
Wow the initial take off and steering was extremely well done for her first time!
OMG props to Hope! First time I drove my stick I stalled 😂 good teaching Woody 👍
Learned to drive stick in a 427 HP mustang, oh the joys of that. Once getting the hang of it, it was super fun.
That's great woody. It's a lot of fun to watch Hope and Collin grow up
i jumped into a stick shift at 3am trying to move it so i could get my own car out of the drive way. i stalled the car 6 times cuz i had no idea how to get it moving after ignition. On my 7th try, i finally got the concept of needing higher rpm to be able to release the clutch all the way... all in all... took me 10 minutes to get the car out of the way. I never imagined it would take 10 minutes for me to move a car a total distance of 3 feet. I was so embarrassed that i sucked so much.
it is illegal to drive manual in Europe without a manual licence
in Europe we learn from the beginning driving manual
automatic cars aren't that usual here
When I learned to drive, my instructor always lectured me about not doing that hand-over hand thing. He told me it was risky because if something bad happened which required both hands to do some rapid steering away, one of the hands would be obstructing the other. The technique he taught me was having your hands at the standard 3 and 9 positions (if you imaging the steering wheel like a clock) and having your hands meet at 12 (one pushing the wheel up, one sliding up without applying any force) and then putting the hands back into the 3 and 9 positions (or further if the turn required more turns). Other than that, I could have learned a lot from this video had I not already passed. I think a warning to move the clutch slower and find the biting point might have been well heeded though.
I'm a learner driver in Australia so don't take this too seriously but when starting to move from a stop don't you have to have your heel on the ground and lift your toes until you get to friction point (clutch plate starting to touch engine plate), hold it for 3 seconds and then slowly remove your clutch completely out. Also isn't coasting (riding the clutch to a stop) a bad practice because you have very little control of the car (as your in neutral you can brake, takes longer cause you don't have the friction from the gear, but you can't accelerate without first getting in the right gear and pulling out the clutch slowly). Instead shouldn't slow down and as you reach a slow speed below 10 MP/H then put your clutch in.
She's official a better driver than half of the population...
Congratulations
I remember him talking about this years ago...kinda surreal to see this actually happen
It was nice to see Hope not bringing the clutch up too fast. Most starter learners bring their clutch up too fast which means they stall. For the future, its best to remember that slower the mph the lower the gear. For example, if your doing 30mph and are in 3rd/4th gear, it's easy to forget that you need to change the gear down.
I know how to drive stick shift. I've been doing it ever since I had my learners permit but I still like watching videos of people doing tutorials on driving it. I don't need tips or advice because I've been doing it for so long, I like the different ways people explain it. Woody I think you did a good explaining what a clutch is and how it works. I really think it helps people get the concept alot easier. Good job
I just started driving a couple of months ago as well and I've had a lot of fun driving my dad's 3 speed 1966 F100!
Wow she is learning incredibly fast! Good job Hope!
she didnt stall out on her first roll off ! And she kept calm! So proud
She learned it really quick. Great teaching methods
also manual (stick shift) is the default here in the uk, you have to specifically ask if you want to learn to drive automatic and most people dont drive autos. also if you learned on an automatic, your license will only let you drive automatic, but a manual license you can drive both.
Getting my permit tomorrow to learn to drive my car (which is also a stick) and Woody posts this the day before. This was actually really helpful to me.
