@Mthtmty Us Cj7 owners don't know that word. I've got the hill start down now anyways. Just got my jeep running with the standard and stiff pedal when I posted that. Played with the linkage and fixed the pedal so It's easier. Piece of cake now. Not all older vehicles have handbrakes.
As they showed on the video, when you get the clutch "up to bite" the car dips slightly and this locks the car into place and stops it from moving. what i'm saying is that you don't need to do both clutch and gas before releasing the handbrake, just do clutch up to bite, mirror check etc and release handbrake before releasing the clutch PLUS gas.
I performed a hill start on my 4th driving lesson with my dad (It was a "dead" area with no other cars, the hill was about as steep as the one in the video. Worked perfectly every time, except when I used the hand break, it was not as pretty as with the foot break, but still worked. But maybe I will be under a lot more pressure and fail when I'm in traffic and have cars behind me and have to start uphill, hope not ^^
@WordOfTheDay69 Using the handbrake is actually the correct way to do a hill start. You can balance the car with the clutch and go up a hill without it but it will wear it out quicker.
Geoff Smith I have to disagree with you as that method is not doing it "properly". Read the Official DVSA Essential Driving Skills handbook, it states "press the accelerator slightly and hold it steady" and then "slowly and smoothly let the clutch pedal up". Think about what you are doing when using the footbrake and lifting the clutch past the biting point; you are using a very powerful brake on all four wheels whilst engaging the engine to the front wheels (on a FWD). So what's that telling the car to do?... Stop (footbrake) and Go(clutch engaged). Not so bad with a diesel car but a low powered petrol car on a steep hill and you will stall. Not to mention using the footbrake unnecessarily whilst stationary instead of the handbrake is very annoying to the drivers behind you, particularly at night when you're dazzling them with your brake lights.
***** "If you try pressing the accelerator while the clutch is still down, the car will inevitably roll back." That's why you have the parking brake (handbrake) on.......
@pokiebo doesn't matter whether you have a 4wd. They do it really slowly in this vid but once you've gotten to know your car you know exactly where to hold your clutch to accelerate quickly, and then you'll be doing this maneuver really quickly so doing damage to the transmission is highly unlikely.
This technique will fail if the car is front wheel drive. The correct procedure is 1. put the first gear. 2. Release the clutch slowly till it reach the start point. You can feel the RPM slow. 3.now give a little excelerator and release the Hand brake. 4.Thats all. A 20 years experience must learn the logic.
bsheehy94 If your car stalls before releasing the handbrake, you are too high up in clutch position. If your car stalls after releasing the handbrake, you need more power.
***** Sorry, another mistake, DVSA is not a book from the heaven, If you give the gas first, and start releasing the clutch, at what point will you know to release the hand brake?. It fails . Think cool apply the above logic ..... Success ...... Cheers.....
Then you need to practice your hill starts. Use the method in this video, safest way to get going. Set handbrake, select 1st gear, apply revs to 1500 rpm or a little higher depending on steepness, release clutch to the biting / engagement point, remove the handbrake, release the clutch a little bit farther to start moving, and you should know the rest after that lol. :)
I'm taking my drive license and that's the only thing that really scares me since there's a lot of hills here. And we can't use the handbreak most of the times. One problem it happens a lot is when you starting some people especially in the pratical exam don't hold their left foot still, it's enough for the car to shut down. Tho' after a year of driving it's already natural, you don't even have to think it through. :) thanks for this.
omg yesterday I was trying to get up a hill but kept stalling but I never pressed the gas is where I went wrong and then I just kept stalling then my car battery died and then i blocked a whole lane for like 2 long minutes
If we all can stop our vehicles at a safe distance behind the cars, we need not worry much about the uphill start. The good control of clutch comes automatically with experience.
When I was learning to drive starting off on hills was easy in a diesel ford focus 2015 as the clutch had a nice crisp biting point. Now I have a petrol fiesta 2009 as my first car and the biting point of the clutch is so weak and shitty. I stall unless I put a load of acceleration on and then drop the clutch. But I'm gonna fuck up my tires doing it this way....
This trick can become a bad habit for new drivers and when they have to face a car that can't rely solely on the handbrake to stay still they fail. As a new driver, you should practice, get to know your car and perform uphill starts without relying on the handbrake, letting the car roll a few inches backwards is not going to kill anyone, also, hills like the one in the video are a joke and the handbrake trick is just unnecessary, you should see some of the hills I have to take with traffic jams everyday on my way to school. Practice makes perfect and I would recommend avoiding this trick while you're learning unless you keep stalling everytime in which case you should go back to normal starts until you dominate them.
If you roll on your test you get a minor. If you're stationary on your test for more than 5 seconds and don't apply the handbrake you get a minor. Therefore, you use the handbrake on a hill start. If you car has a shitty handbrake, get it fixed. It's dangerous.
Right, my instructors car was a diesel turbo, and my little toyota aygo is a petrol and I find hill starts fairly difficult. I either under rev it and it'll stall, or i over rev it and the wheels will spin. I can't find that 'perfect' balance yet. In my car, it feels like when I get the clutch to bite that it's going to stall (my clutch and bite are quite high up) or it vibrates (even when I'm not on an upward hill) Rah it's so confusing. Any ideas?
Hill starts are easy, but then I have every category on my licence and I've been driving for nearly twenty years. It all comes down to experience which is why my insurance for my motorbike with two bikes is only £80 for the year and someone at 17 would pay a four figure sum.
Do you guys use a handbrake when starting on hills or just use the pedals? I'm just starting out driving my first manual I tried the handbrake method and had zero roll back and no issues then tried just the pedals and I'm having a tough time doing it fast enough I just roll back.
It's alot easier to do a hill start in a diesel because the clutch alone will move the car up without even touching the accelerator. Petrol is hard, u either have to use the handbrake, clutch control with some acceleration or clutch control and use the brake and when ready quickly apply the accelerator! Also Toyotas have easy ass clutches.
Does everyone from the UK use the handbrake for every hill start? I'm from the US and pretty much everyone I know doesn't use the handbrake for hill starts and just quickly engages the clutch.
You're better off learning clutch control then it won't matter that you're uphill... My instructor did hillstarts with me on my 3rd lesson. Once you learn clutch control you're able to not let your car roll back, EVEN on a hill.
@@jeremy90999 they have more torque than petrol cars, so there's usually already enough power at idle to maintain rpm and drive the vehicle. kinda like when you cold start your car and you can just let the clutch off to move.
when you see him change gear at 1:17 he uses his palm sideways on is that how it should be done officially or is it the easiest way for a smooth change instead of putting the palm of your hand on top covering the top of the gear stick ?
William Kerry He's put his palm sideways on the gear lever because 1st gear is to the left. 1st and 2nd you usually have your hand sideways because you push it to the left. 3rd and 4th you put your hand on top of the gear lever as they are in the middle. And for 5th you would put your hand to the other side and push it to the right. There isn't an "official" way to do it; providing you engage the gear that you intended to select then that's all that matters.
on a hill if i bring the clutch to the bit point does it roll bk? i mean average gradient hill? coz its kinda piss taking keeping on using the handbrake on like roundabout which is on like a hill or a traffic light
Can you please explain this to me? You are saying that I can hold the car on a hill only bt clutch? Therefore releasing the clutch would advance with no gas even o a hill? Am I wrong?
I used to be terrified at a light if a car came behind me. A good trick is to roll back like 5 feet if u see a car coming behind you. Most will give you some distance
or you could just bring the clutch up to bite and hold it there, the car won't move even after you release the handbrake, then you can press gas rather than trying to balance both which is nerve-wracking enough
But yea, when you set the clutch to the engagement point on an uphill, the car should NOT move forward when you release the handbrake. The car should SIT STILL once the handbrake is released. Once you master finding the engagement point, you'll feel A LOT better about hills. If you release the handbrake and the car immediately starts going forwards, that means you released the clutch too far, and is incorrect.
they make it look hard in this video just drive as you would but instead push down on your brake foot on the brake pedal, release clutch until you see the hood of the car lift a bit and then just release the clutch and give a little gas or with the handbrake: handbrake up, release the clutch until you see the hood lift up a bit, hold your pedals, release handbrake and give a little gas
Great but what if you are parked between two cars on a uphill road?? I tried moving away but car kept rolling backwards. Now I’m very close to the car behind me; I’m afraid if I try again I will crash. I dont understand this video why would I worry if there is no car in front or behind me ??
Gregory Ridley It doesn't do your car any harm, but long-term use of the handbrake without pressing in the button will, as Bass pointed out, wear down the ratchet and hence reduce the effectiveness of the handbrake in the long-term.
My car is 25 years old, the previous owner, (My Uncle) practiced the same technique, no button pressed down, and it still operates flawlessly. Perhaps the cars in your area are lower quality?
Gregory Ridley No....the cars in my area will be exactly the same quality as the cars in your area. It's a well known fact that long-term use of that technique wears down the ratchet. Much more likely, maybe your uncle didn't do it the same way as yourself. Or maybe you don't park on steep hills to notice that your handbrake is worn..
if i drive a four wheel drive vehicle wouldn't this damage the transmission because the hand brake block the rear wheels and the transmission wants to give power to them
How can you press the clutch, accelerator AND brakes with only 2 feet? If you release the brake first, then press the accelerator and release the clutch, you're going to roll backwards a bit before pulling away. That's bad car control.
try to start without handbrake, hold clutch and brake put it in frist gear, relese clucth(somwhere in the middle, not all) remove foot from brake and he won't move just add a gas and thats it try its easy..
Yes I agree. I never prefer the handbrake because handbrake should be used only while parking in any condition or when in a steady state in traffic. Now the correct procedure should be hold clutch and brake, put it in first gear, release the clutch slowly upto the point where the car tries to move forward ( you will feel the slight vibration when its trying to move forward). Exactly at this point just move your foot from brake to accelerator and push the accelerator releasing the remaining part of the clutch simultaneously. Thats it. Keep doing this as beginners. After some days it will become your habit and you do not need to necessarily concentrate on the entire procedure. It will just work out easily. Remember guys driving is a habit and nobody can teach you unless it becomes your habit.
I did a hill start today and, my god, I panicked so much. I was told to give more gas so not to roll back and I did .... I caused the car to wheel spin XD Most scariest part of driving I've experienced =| as soon as I took the handbrake off and I felt the car starting to roll back is when I gave it more gas =P
Put your foot on the accelerator and then find biting point? You should know bite, and once you have it then push on gas, any decent driver can keep the car stable using clutch. Idiots who over use handbrakes really piss me off.
Already Passed My Test 1 Week ago, but i keep watching these videos LOL waiting for my car to come within this week
Just floor the gas and quickly release on the clutch. Perfect hill start.
If you enjoy ruining the drive train, absolutely; if you don't - do it properly.
@Mthtmty Us Cj7 owners don't know that word. I've got the hill start down now anyways. Just got my jeep running with the standard and stiff pedal when I posted that. Played with the linkage and fixed the pedal so It's easier. Piece of cake now. Not all older vehicles have handbrakes.
passed on my second try hehe. Had a super instructor so that helped.
you are absolutely right because when he puts the gear in the reverse he actually put it into the second gear.

BIG Gary Lamb lad
@anlyska You don't break anything if you stall. It's best to practice with the no gas method for beginners.
Very helpful in me learn the proper and safe way. Thank you.
Glad you found it useful! : )
Double take at 2:05 for the Nissan Bluebird, nice.
This technique will fail if the car is front wheel drive. The correct procedure is
1. put the first gear.
2. Release the clutch slowly till it reach the start point. You can feel the RPM slow.
3.now give a little excelerator and release the Hand brake.
4.Thats all. A 20 years experience must learn the logic.
My car always stalls, any idea why?
bsheehy94 If your car stalls before releasing the handbrake, you are too high up in clutch position. If your car stalls after releasing the handbrake, you need more power.
Nanorisk All the responses have been very helpful. Thanks everyone.
***** Sorry, another mistake, DVSA is not a book from the heaven, If you give the gas first, and start releasing the clutch, at what point will you know to release the hand brake?. It fails .

AyyGin Yes exactly we should wait for it roll a bit in the friction zone before completely letting of the clutch.
Then you need to practice your hill starts. Use the method in this video, safest way to get going.

+Collins LFC still passed first time in February mate
Did you use the parking brake?
Frank Russell Faker than a porn star tits
I done the same I stall the car 5 times and then my husband told me off so I just cry and go out from the car
But I keep on learning am getting better
this is very informative.. thanks a lot..
If we all can stop our vehicles at a safe distance behind the cars, we need not worry much about the uphill start. The good control of clutch comes automatically with experience.
that was so easy. i made a perfect uphill and downhill start and i'm not even in the car! :D
Going up hill is so hard for me!! And my father makes it so much tougher on me! Every thing else is easy for me except up hills!! Damn hills... :[

Put it in neutral and start again when stalling?
OR OR OR, just keep your clutch dipped and restart your car.
Ahahahahahahahahhaauauua
@aordonez76 yeah, but don't use it if you know that it'll go green in a few moments. You can either keep the clutch down or keep it in neutral.
wow your videos are really really helpful thanks a lot

@MrKMR88 With an automatic It will hold the car for you So you can just put it to drive and carry on
taking reverse on downward slope also takes hell of acceleration!

please i have been driving for 5 days now i need similar videos to this one.. send me one if you ahve one please
Thank u..it help me :)
cross foot for the foot brake and accelerator is the correct way. hand brake only for beginners.

How to make a perfect hill start? Answer : Get a diesel.
U jus use the clutch and hand break
That’s makes no sense.
It's easier to move off in diesels like how you don't even have to rev first

agree having lessons and dont see the point of using the hand break i dont use it on my bike and mnage just fine
This will just wear out your transmission, especially the friction plate that is between the clutch disc and the flywheel...
Wear out your transmission 🤦🏼♂️... Not at all. Not one bit. Clutch maybe take some wear, but not a standard transmission.

Don't need the handbrake, use the bumper of the vehicle behind ;)
Don't you release the handbrake last, not first after the revs are up and the "dip" occurs?
Try learning it with a Mercedes footbrake , that sucks . The regular handbrake method is really easy , especially in a diesel .
But yea, when you set the clutch to the engagement point on an uphill, the car should NOT move forward when you release the handbrake. The car should SIT STILL once the handbrake is released. Once you master finding the engagement point, you'll feel A LOT better about hills.

Nice to see someone applying the handbrake properly, not wrenching it up and wearing out the ratchet like so many do.
BassGoodForTheSoul Never did my car any harm
Gregory Ridley Doesn't make it good practice, though.

Always remember to Observe... and manoeuvre
if i drive a four wheel drive vehicle wouldn't this damage the transmission because the hand brake block the rear wheels and the transmission wants to give power to them
There are plenty of times when you have to stop at a red light or stop sign on an incline.
simply use the foot brakes and the clutch.
@dhayes737 I meant to say 'Of course not' *
wow 2:09 the best part of this video is when that sexy lady passed mmmm hahaha
At the end she says you did the perfect uphill and down hill. The guy looks like wtf did I do?
what if u use the brakes instead of the of the handbrake. is it still okay???
How can you press the clutch, accelerator AND brakes with only 2 feet? If you release the brake first, then press the accelerator and release the clutch, you're going to roll backwards a bit before pulling away. That's bad car control.
my car doesnt have a clutch pedal, so what is the best way for me to do the hill start?
got my test tomorrow 8:10 AM first attempt!!!
How did it go? :D
Passed first time with 6 minors

Well done! Mine in two weeks.. Observations on manoeuvres is my biggest issue (not too bad)

@Silvester94T3
That isn't a fake accent. Thats west country.
I didnt know america had hills like here!
Jokes-from Scottish Highlands x
What a raving nause all this hill starting is with a manual gear box! stuff that! the only cars I'd ever buy will be automatic!
@justyesful Yeah im planning on using an AUTO
Well, what about an automatic transmission, not a standard?
sometimes the slope is so stiff tht even clutch pressed cant hold the car, tht time v have to use the brake too!
how does clutch work?
wats wrong with using the handbreak?
A bit hard to not panic when you're in heavy traffic and having 20 drivers cursing at you...
If your on a hill whats the point of going back into neutral when you stall....
The only thing that we need to take care is brake for downhill. Uphill is pain in the arse...
is it automatic???
I did a hill start today and, my god, I panicked so much. I was told to give more gas so not to roll back and I did .... I caused the car to wheel spin XD Most scariest part of driving I've experienced =| as soon as I took the handbrake off and I felt the car starting to roll back is when I gave it more gas =P
I don't the moment he moves his foot from the brake to the accelerator pedal!
Put your foot on the accelerator and then find biting point? You should know bite, and once you have it then push on gas, any decent driver can keep the car stable using clutch. Idiots who over use handbrakes really piss me off.
using the handbrake method is really irritating on uphill stop and go traffic
i think a heel-toe start will be a bettr one....(completely my view....
higher revs???
I've been driving stick for almost a year now and hill starts still scare me.
Yes, it is the correct spelling. It's the British form. "Manoeuvre" is British and "maneuver" is American.
Did you pass?
Clearly he is sitting on the correct side of the car as he has to be in the driving seat to perform the hill start.
My foot shakes when doing hill start it comes out with bad results..
Haha, it's probably not used to sunshine in the UK
