John passed his automatic driving test a year ago, now he wants to see if driving manual is easy or too much of a faff.

So true, I passed my driving test about a year ago, could not hear any difference in engine noise, and how I knew when to change gears is because my instructor had a Ford with digital speedometer so I was going up every 10mph, the revs diagram made no sense to me LOL . After I passed, I bought a Corsa and for the first couple of days I felt so clueless.

@Danielagostinho21 28 күн бұрын

@@grzybobranie7765 Honestly, I think saying the engine sound is changing when in the bite point is a bit misleading. Generally, the sound is equivalent to the load on the engine, there are situations where the engine is loaded but doesn't have enough power to go uphill, generally is more the vibrations that are transmitted to the whole car that might indicate that the engine is ready to go

@pixieviolet9135 28 күн бұрын

I remember I couldn't hear any change in the sound or vibrations of the car. So my instructor said to lift the clutch bit more and bit more untill the car was vibrating really hard. It was on the verge of stalling, but I could finally hear a difference :)

If you learn in a diesel it’s more noticeable, but when I went 20 in 2nd gear, it sounded like my first petrol car was at 5000 revs, which was annoying, plus when I tried to change to 3rd it wouldn’t go in as the speed was too slow.

"That's driving manual, forward planning!" And that right there is why I've always advocated that every new driver should learn to drive a manual as long as physically capable. You can't learn a manual without learning to read the road 30 seconds ahead of yourself, and that's a skill that stays with you even if you then buy an automatic and never go back.

@@Asto508 No, I'm not. I genuinely do watch the road that far ahead, and I know what every car in that space is likely to do, and plan accordingly. This is how you drive safely and smoothly. I'm not just reacting to the actions of the car immediately ahead - I'm taking action based on things happening ahead of them, on the motorway maybe even 20 cars ahead. The fact you seem to think you can't plan more than 50m ahead is terrifying - you must be an atrocious driver. Also, the your not understanding why this is relevant to driving a manual suggests you don't drive one. You are *exactly* the sort of driver that results from learning in an automatic.

@Asto508 10 күн бұрын

@@HaralHeisto It's one thing to watch the road far ahead, but another to think you could effectively plan ahead 30s in advance. You simply can't unless you are driving on a rural very straight long road with minimal traffic and everyone else is driving perfectly. Otherwise you will have situational changes every 5-10s at max that you need to react on, so your "plan" changes very quickly and very often and it stops being a plan long before you hit the 30s mark. I actually can give the compliment back to you that you must be an atrocious driver if you think you can actually drive that careless in reality. I'm a manual driver btw.

I really like John's attitude during this practice run, inserting tiny jokes here and there. Well done, I personally connect with him in a way that I've done my license for manual (14 year ago) and then drove only automatics ever since with the same reason "why do more than I need to, this is not fun for me, it's only a necessity which is stressful for me enough as it is". But I also feel like I should renew the skill of driving a manual itself as knowing the theory is not enough in the long run and I might come to some emergency situation where I will have to jump into a manual and drive somebody somewhere.

@@SteveComputerFix I find it fascinating that the UK and other European countries even have a separate automatic and manual license. I got my driver's license about 20 years ago. I learned how to drive a manual only fours years ago, when I decided to buy a second car and thought it'd be fun to get a manual. I taught myself by watching Richard's videos. I find that whether I drive my automatic car or my manual car, there's not much difference. The rules of the road are the same. You stop at red lights and stop signs, you follow the speed limits, you pay attention to traffic around you. A manual adds a couple extra steps when you drive, that's it. When you learn, you stall a lot. But even experienced manual drivers stall every now and then. If theoretically my state required a manual license, I don't see how getting one would have made me a safer driver.

I am 51 and started driving lessons back in 2021 but due to life circumstances, driving instructors that weren't good, a good driving instructor that suddenly moved and couldn't instruct me anymore, it has taken over 3 years to get to the point I felt confident to take my test. I have done my theory twice and passed both times. To get to the final hurdle and through no fault of my own to lose the opportunity has really made me angry and upset.

I've moved to the UK after over a decade of driving auto in the USA. My first lesson was alot like john's. There's so much more todo when moving off and slowing down in a manual compared to auto. Planning is really necessary till it can be done without much thought. When doing slow crawls, I find micro adjustments of the clutch bite point to be a lot less forgiving than automatic braking to do slow crawls. The range speed and precision needed for clutch movement is alot more to think about than auto gas and brake. It's what seems to take the most practice.

I drove my friends car once, and it just pulled you along in second gear at like 15km/h. I don't know why my car is different, but I have the feeling the ECU does not add any gas. Same with driving off. It needs 2k-3k rpm to comfortably get moving, which not a lot of cars have.

I'm driving a manual for over a year now, one thing that I notice and find really weird is how much some of these "rules" that we first learn don't apply in many situations. For instance, my teacher was so strict about totally leaving the gas pedal before clutch and gear change, while I understand the problem in changing gear with 2000 or more RPMs, sometimes I actually NEED to keep a bit of gas while changing gear. The more you learn, the more smooth it goes, more of these "rules" you understand you will need to break sometimes.

You can only do that with a diesel. A petrol needs some extra gas when doing uphill due to its lower torque. Holding at the bite point is in general a bad idea if you want to wear out your clutch. Just give it more gas and have a quicker gear change.

If any young person is watching. Just learn manual first time, even if it intimidates you, because you’ll end up being like this guy having to do the entire learning process all over again. It’s the same with my mate. Unless you’ve got money and you’ll always have an auto then go ahead lol. The way these instructors teach though isn’t good, they make it seem so complicated. Watching this video I can see it’d be way too confusing for a beginner. For starting from stop: lift clutch slowly and give 1.5k-2k revs, once the car reaches above 5 mph you can release the clutch (slowly) while still pressing gas and shift into second, you don’t need the clutch now other than for shifting gears! From motion to stop: start braking first, once you slow down to under 10mph press the clutch while still braking and move into first. For downshifting to lower gears to turn into a side road: repeat the same steps as the first one. Press clutch to go to 2nd, once you’ve began to enter the side road lift slowly with the same 1.5-2k revs and go to 3rd if it’s appropriate. That is it!

I passed in an auto when I was 17, so almost 20 years ago now 😮 lately I’ve been thinking of learning a manual but it’s a rather daunting prospect if I’m honest… any advice? 😅

@hamsterama 29 күн бұрын

My advice is, just do it! You won't regret it! Just like you, I got my driver's license almost 20 years ago. Four years ago, I bought a brand new manual car, just for fun. I taught myself how to drive a manual by watching Richard's videos, and then going out and practicing. It would have been nice if I had an instructor. But there are no driving schools that teach manual in my part of Ohio, so I had to teach myself. If I can do it, you can do it, too. With KZfaq, it's easier than ever to learn. I advise you to keep your automatic car. It will take the stress off of learning to drive a manual, because you won't feel pressure to learn fast.

I ve been learning to drive in a manual car it's taking me a long time to get my licence I don't know if it's a good idea to change to a automatic people say I will pass sooner and its easier I am taking lessons in a manual at the moment I tried to postpone my driving test I couldn't find a ideal date and my theory is due to expire in October

Will a petrol car pull you like in the video? When I learn how to drive I learn in a diesel car and never drove a petrol car and someone told my that if you lift your foot of the gass and you let the car run, a petrol car will stole.

I have to change betweeen manual and Auto cars about 5 times a day and sometimes I have to say to myself this is a manual or this is an auto. the first auto I drove after taking my test in a manual I tucked my left foot undewr the seat out of the way, just forget you have a left leg in an auto.

Are different bite points of different manual cars pronounced enough to be noticed? Do you ever stall when moving off in a new manual car whilst getting used to a previous one's bite point?

Nervous?

At most you’re going to stop suddenly some times (the brake pedal is huge in automatic cars and the “clutch down” reflex when emergency braking is there) at least this is what happens to me.

I passed my test in the early 70's in a manual and all but 4 of my cars have been manual. What we take for granted driving manuals for years is i guess daunting for drivers new to a clutch/gear lever. I personally like the involvement and connection of a manual but i have to admit an auto is a heck of a lot "easier" in nose to tail city driving. Most auto boxes were horrible way back then with no engine breaking to speak of but nowadays with modern automatics, especially those with paddle shift are way better. Maybe when i get old i,ll consider one 😇 but for now, long live the gear lever. Great tutorials Richard.

@christopherclark4774 29 күн бұрын

At least here in the USA, most cars are auto and torque converter style. Many new cars with this kind have the paddle shifters or a way for you to select gear. It is not supposed to harm the transmission, but constantly putting the car in a lower gear for braking increases fluid temps and heat kills the transmission the most. Yeah it wears your brakes more, but you get the most out of your auto. The issue is though that the less common DCT kind are more like a manual so the engine braking use of paddles might be better and not risk harm.... but dcts are not as reliable as normal autos. Overall, if you buy an auto just use your brakes.

Interesting to watch, I passed in automatic and have a semi auto car. The good thing about it is you can actually go fully auto mode but use a lever to go up and down gear without the clutch if you want to. And you can also force the gears to go up and down regardless of if you are in auto mode. I can’t see a reason why I would ever do a manual license, i think it’s mainly a thing of the past really.
