one good thing about driving a manual in america is, you never have to lock your car, nobody can steal it lmao

This whole "tiny, gentle movements" thing is the single hardest part of driving for me. Tell me I'm not alone with this!

Ever get the shaky leg while learning a clutch?

I just bought a manual car (wrx) and I do not regret it! My first week I was so close to giving up because of how hard it was to learn coming from a automatic hahah but after I got over my fear of stalling and hills, I’ve come to find out that driving is so much more enjoyable ! I don’t even listen to the radio because I’d rather listen to my car and that’s coming from someone who would always bump music. The only down side is that in America people have 0 patience. The light could turn green and I’m barely releasing my clutch and someone will already start honking at me or don’t even get me started with the tailgating 🥱 Southern California is the worst for manual drivers

Since I live in the US, When I started driving manual I made sure to have a "Learning Manual - Stay Back" and "Be Patient" magnets on my trunk. You won't believe how much more peace of mind it gave me looking at my rearview and seeing many drivers actually give me space. Even though I know how to drive manual pretty much perfectly now I still keep those magnets on since the US really doesn't understand the difficulty and challenging times a manual driver faces. Especially on hills.

Whether in a manual or auto, you make a great point: Don't just automatically mirror the person in the car in front of you everytime they move forward. Wait until you decide it's time to move up a bit.

come to india to learn how to drive ... if you survive ,you can drive anywhere in the world.

When you said about having patience and not to rush off as the other traffic moves - that's a big reason manuals are not driven in the USA. No one will give you an extra second to get moving. I can't even get my foot off the brake and onto the accelerator (automatic) fast enough here before people start beeping and losing their shit.

I remember watching this video a year ago not knowing how to drive manual, now ive got my own manual car and i drive it like its nothing. Hills, traffic, clutch control, downshift, rev match, etc are all a peice of cake Now. stick in there y'all! you'll learn in no time, stay consistent.

I also do that wiggly thing with my foot...wtf, I'm not alone

Wow. It helps me a lot while driving uphill. Putting the hand break on while revving up the engine just to pull away without thinking that you will roll back is one of the best method for me as a beginner. Thank you for making this video it sure helped me a lot.

4:32 I relate on an extreme level to that fast look up at the rear view after accidentally stalling

I PASSED!!

6000 revs and dump the clutch

Passed my driving test today and honestly all your tips were super beneficial. Thank you!

Your video made more sense than others, regarding mechanical wear and pointless cluch riding.

I'm always fearful of stalling on a hill and the driver behind me being way to close. I near floor the accelerator with the clutch at the biting point before I let the hand brake go. Rather look idiotic than look in the wallet for how you're gonna pay for rolling into someone else's car

I’m from South Africa 🇿🇦 and thank you for this video 👏🏾

This video is freaking awesome!!! why? because I dont have to sit and stir my eyes to a person talking when all that I want to see is a person driving and showing in two screens how to use the clutch, the shift and the driving at the same time during a traffic. The explanations are concise and precise. And I loved that! Thank you for this short tutorial.

I have practised for the last 2 weeks and i can boldly say i have mastered the art perfectly courtesy of mr paykos....your simply the best sir

You know i probably stall more than usual coz I think oh crap the traffic behind me are probably getting fraustrated

Love this camera set up, thank youuuuuu

In US, just a sticker of THIS IS MANUAL TRANSMISSION is enough security

Impeccable audio quality on this mate👍

Wayhay POV videos fiiinaaaalllyyyy ;) interesting video. Cheers paynoob. Also, loving the new outro song.

This has really helped, I've struggled with roundabouts and traffic so I was quite panicked and would stall but this has helped a lot thank you

I passed my test today first time, with the help of most of your videos. They were a great help thank you

I was driving up this hill yesterday with my instructor and it made me extremely nervous! I stalled the car, and when I felt/saw the car rolling back I started to panic. I have my driving test soon and this is one of the possible hills on the test. I even had people beeping me to move because I was taking a bit longer than they wanted me to. But thank you so much for this video!! Makes me less nervous now!

The best way to learn how to use a clutch is parking and relatively slow driving, it will help you find out where the biting point is.

Great video paynos, great explanation of clutch control and pulling away on hill in traffic.

This was surprisingly really informative. And watching you drive made me stay right though the end of the video. It was great help, thank you.

thanks very much for helping me pass my driving test first time with only 2 hours of lessons :)

Thanks for the tips. These type of videos helped me quite a bit before I bought my first manual a few days ago. I had about 4 hours of seat time and then today(Monday) decided to make the 15 mile commute to work in heavy rush hour traffic. I stalled like once on the way to work and twice on the way home.only took maybe an extra 7 or 8 seconds to get the car moving each time I just road the clutch a little more till I felt a soft bite point had been made. I heard a lot of things about not riding the clutch and I know that's certainly true but I was letting the clutch out much too fast toward the beginning. I think the clutch can probably take a fair amount of low RPM clutch slipping in its lifetime as that's what its made to do in first gear. Learning on a lowered sports car probably isn't exactly the easiest.. I have to move pretty slowly over speed bumps or else I get a nice little crunch from the bottom of the car, or just a scrape which isn't as bad. My plan is to just keep being gentle on the clutch and letting it ride especially in 1st an 2nd gear which I'm having the hardest time with. I think over time ill be getting the car moving from a stop much quicker. As far as ripping through 3rd 4th 5th 6th gear its really easy and satisfying.

Your video really helped me to be confident on the road, especially on the hills. Thank you!

Not sure if you read these comments but thank you for mentioning the heel advice I recently test drove a new manual car and not only was my leg hurting but the amount of control that I lost by floating my legs was immense

You can do this in Europe because you won't be executed for driving too slow. I am trying to learn in Houston...

Very encouraging- I just got my first standard shift civic and I love it!!!

This actually helped me, didn’t stall at all today. Thank you very much.

This video has actually taught me so much. Thank you!

Its a shame the 96% of people here in the US drive automatic.

Remember watching this 2 years ago when I was learning to drive. Great video man

This video is brilliant! Helped me a lot as I'm still learning! Also go karting videos sound like they would be fun to watch! :D

After these videos man I learned a lot from this guy. Great channel man!

Can you do more of these videos? They are really helpful thanks

Great video, I think more videos like this which help care for the clutch and reduce wear would be awesome

Dude your video was so freaking helpful. Cheers mate !

Thank you for posting such a relaxed and informative video on how to deal with traffic and starting on a hill :)

I've seen a lot of tutorials suggesting to keep your heel to the ground, but with the rubber mats in my Fiesta, my foot wouldn't drag and get stuck. I typically for starting off anyway, lift my whole leg to the bite point, and pivot on my ankle, bringing the front of my foot up to complete the engagement. With that, my leg is floating but my calf muscle is controlling muscle.

Came to watch this for fun and realized your actually the reason I can drive my manual, watched a lot of your videos about 7 months ago and now I’m heel toe downshifting thanks for getting me going man!!!

this is one of the best videos about this subject thanks for this man, saludos desde Perú

Great video man!

Great voice, it feels like I'm listening to a radio show while stuck in traffic

Driving on a hill with traffic make good drivers sweat

I’m learning quickly as I live in Medway valley with lots of hills and over run with traffic

Ohh glad to know im not the only foot wobbler haha and nice rev matching too :) I also got taught to leave a gap from car infront and enough to see about a foot of road between bottom of windscreen and the car infront. Great vid btw.

I'm from India and I believe Manual Car owners enjoys driving much more than Automatic car owners. Because There's is nothing to do in the automatic model. You just need steering balance. Once you get familiar with Manual car. You'll enjoy car driving very well. Driving is also an Art. Said from experience 😇

I know how to drive but im still watching hahaha

“22 k subs is mad” - then I looked down to see you have 81k now ! Somehow it’s so rewarding to see haha

That was the best tutorial I've ever seen. Thank you

Your videos help so much

I'm a bit of a late learner, got my licence about 5 months ago at 31. Having driven around privately those past months have shaped me as a driver far more so than my lessons, though they were good. Learned in a 2014 BMW c-class amg. Too nice probably for driving lessons, as it'll get moving by just letting off the clutch. The instructor barely ever said 'give it a little gas when you let off the clutch'. Something I had to learn myself in a Seat Ibiza Eco from 2008. It's absolutely essential for good clutch control/hill starts/traffic etc. Roads like the one in the video would probably be nicer in an automatic though. That in my opinion is the biggest advantage automatics have, and there's a lot of people who have to drive in shitty traffic every day.

Glad you got a stall on camera. Thanks mate!

I haven’t driven a manual in 8 years since the last one I owned. Hills was the only thing I ever struggled at and I never got it down where it was second nature even after years so I’m watching videos now cuz I’m buying one soon.

i burnt my clutch in my driving test and still passed lol

ello' lads lool fkn love that intro man

Very helpful video man. Cheers!

Cheers for the video, my drivers teacher never told me about using the hand brake on hills he always taught me to find the biting point and just go which was hard to tell if it was on the biting point or not gonna try it out tomorrow!

Thank for the useful info. Just one advice - you've mentioned not getting to close to the car at the front in city driving but you were still doing it. The rule is tyre and tarmac so when stopping you can see the tyres of the car in front of you as well as a bit of tarmac.

This is why I love diesels. It's so easy to drive! Hill starts you can just have your foot on the brake and clutch then just move up to the bite, let go of the brake. The car will just hold still then accelerate and release clutch. So much easier than working with revs, handbrake and everything else. Also normally diesel clutches can take more than petrol. So it's much more difficult to kill them. My last car I purposely tried to kill my clutch as it needed a new one anyway and it took me about 4 months with me driving with the clutch half down

Your videos have helped me so much especially this one so thanks

Many thanks! Your videos are very helpful and I passed my driving test on Monday 26th March 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Ello boooooys. Hope everyone's had a great week, OG video out today and plenty to follow

Just saying, intro of hello lads. So legendary

heel on the floor is a huge tip, worked wonders for me

I'll learn to drive soon and this is one of the most parts of manual driving that's been confusing me so thank you :)

I am doing the same wiggly thing with my left foot. I think it is caused by the fact that when you are releasing the clutch, but have to engage it again quickly (in traffic), your foot is misaligning on the clutch pedal (pushing pedal with center of the foot not with toes) which is uncomfortable and you are trying to move it to correct this, but have to still hold the pedal down. And the propable misalignment in my case happens, because of my way of releasing the clutch (just like yours) first - heel in the air and when I release a bit, I rest it on the floor and release more. In this second phase pedal is sliding on your foot so it can end up in the center, not on toes. I am sorry for bad english, I hope you understand what I wanted to say :P

This just looks like so much work. A second before i’m about to move off i just catch the biting point with my foot on the break, blip the throttle to 2000-2500 rpms (depends on how steep the hill is), hold it there and start moving off. I tried the hand break technique when i first started driving manual and it was just too much work. Made me almost give up driving manuals in general

hi great videos, im a new driver and stalling alot so going to use your tips and tricks tomorow. i already hate hill starts and im really worried about damaging my car

Thank for this video it has really helped me I passed my test last week and bought my first car yesterday the bite is very different to the learner car I was in

For hill starts, I usually dont use the handbrake. I simply put my foot on the brake and balance the clutch till I feel the biting point and slowly release the brakes since the car will slowly creep forwards and then step on the gas a bit and off you go.

I failed my first driving test which was devastating. Going for the second one tmrw. Wish me luck 😩

thank god , the video i've been looking for !!!!

I love the idea of this video. Really helpful. Please make more great videos like this. 😀

Many see forex as a get rich scheme but forex is not like that, it's a gradual process with the right tools and application you can make a living from forex trading..

You should not worry about hills. If you know how to drive a manual car then hills and straight roads are the same. You just need to control clutch much more while you drive on hills. Straight roads are easy to go if it is straight you can go easily but when you drive at hills then you need to use clutch very closely if you use it low then you can't move maybe you can slide a little bit back, but if you use it enough then you can easily climb hills, mountains or something bigger. So just don't worry about clutch and do not use your handbrake because it is now made for it. It is made for using to parking. You should just understand the importance and system of clutch. Then its all going to be okay. Have fun while driving.

Now thats some fancy foot work and I also like the shoes👍

hey your videos are very helpful thank you!!

"Even on hills you can get away with low RPMs. Think 2500 and under." Holy crap I use 2500 when I'm launching the car. 1500 on hills, 1200 on flat ground. 1.6 NA petrol. Don't launch a diesel without throttle. You will get used to it on flat ground and stall it on a hill.

Release the clutch and put it in neutral when you're not moving gosh

That double roundabout and holywell hill, nightmare memories of my test at St. Albans DTC

Very helpful,,I realized how keen u were.

Lol it’s so much easier without handbrake imo :D Just stay on your brake and get to the biting point, then release the brake and give gas as well. While at the biting point you can’t roll backwards bc the gearbox will lock your wheels to only drive forward (except if you’re in reverse). Giving some gas while on the biting point will then get you going without stalling or any other problems :D no handbrake needed. I see why it’s often said that in Great Britain lots of things are learned by using the handbrake 😅

I always put it on “N” when I stop then back to “1sr gear” when I go 🤪

I came here to help relieve the pulled calve muscle I incurred while trying to back-up into an slightly inclined spot. Now I know the secret on how to relieve that pain. I'll practice again tomorrow!

I am a learner and I have learnt a lot from you. Thank you.

Hi, could you do a video on roundabouts

right turns next boyo?

So British and relaxing, nice vid

Excellent explanation brother and please make some more important videos like this
