I think most do.

it should be pretty obvious, like people who struggle on something like this probably shouldnt be driving, but i guess that would be far too large a percentage of the population so it would never pass

Yeah mine didn't even teach me these things. I've driven cars all this while and not know why the heck the car is stalling. All I know is cause I'm not pressing the clutch. Then again, I was taught by listening to the sound, so that was shit.

it's not really an issue as 98 or 98% of cars sold are Automatics. there is a very good reason why stick shift/manual cars are regarded as millennial and theft proof.

@@KingPepeLePew That's rather left-pondcentric here in Britain lots of cars are 'stick-shift'. My own car is an Auto (it's a hybrid) but I can drive stick

Thank you.

I like your profile pic

Lol that’s hilarious

And its free

Mine screamed like crazy in first lessons. Still I dont like this old guy so I will not tell my friends for him his score for me is pretty bad

lol you described me so well, I’ve never understood but after you commentary I get it… I only do something after I understand hows and whys too!!

@leah keyworth the brake ruiner

@leah keyworth You weren't paying attention to the video now, were you mate?

@@Erik-cl5ff wdym

I know I’m late but how did it go lmao

Yep, once you're attuned to things, you notice that the engine braking effect is actually quite powerful. If you press the clutch down without braking you'll often coast for a considerable distance Conversely, if you let the car coast, but before if gets to it's base speed, it will slow down much quicker than on the clutch alone. Sometimes it even feels like the clutch speeds you up as the engine braking effect is lost.

I dont get the "stopping distance decreases" pls elaborate

@@IshtarNike i dont understand but i need to understand Could you elaborate in simple terms

@@greenblue980 Basically means that you don't have to start stopping from way far back from the vehicle infront :/

"Stopping distance decreases if you don't press the clutch". I disagree. Engine braking is useful in non-emergency situations, but in an emergency it won't stop your car faster than the brakes are already capable of doing. ABS manages traction and gets the most grip from the tires that you could possibly get. If you add engine braking to the mix, it will cause the ABS system to back off a bit, in its quest to retain traction. Think about what happens when you let off the throttle on an icy or gravel-strewn road...the car sometimes loses traction. That demonstrates that engine braking can reduce your traction. Why would you want to possibly reduce your traction, when your ABS system is fighting to get the most traction it can possibly squeeze out of your tires?

Mustang drivers a pros at this

Just add on gas

A quick way to stop, is just crash. That's 8

Did you mean wall riding?

I had similar thoughts when I was a small boy too. I was glad when I found out they were the same order. I think we owe the current layout to the Austin 7. Before that car, all cars were different.

@@SB-hr5yr - I lived in Australia for 5 years and drove buses for Greyhound. It's actually easier than you think to switch gears with your other hand. The shift patterns are the same too, like the pedals. All the best, Cheers Rick

Daisy Duke I could never drive on the right hand side and shift with the left... it’s just too backwards for me

@@SB-hr5yr same here

We used to have both right and left handed cars in my country. I found out that shifting with the right hand while steering with the left one is the most natural way to control a car (I am right-handed myself).

Agreed

Very easy, after you realize the RPM trick

And with all the possible scenarios. Great video.

So when do you learn it?

So when do we? SPILL THE BEAANS

Bro I’ve been waiting 2 months now, when do we learn?

So guys he did it

Come on you have to tell us, when do we learn?

If you like pedal cameras I highly recommend you check out some Walter Rörhl videos

Congratulations on passing!

exact same with my instructor now

nothing is too basic.

My driving instructor doesn't know what the odometer is for.

This stuff is not even close to "way too basic"

@Johnson Long What did you have?

@@vvoof2601 ears

Yep my 1986 Toyota pick up didn’t have a tachometer either. Really wish I didn’t abuse that thing. Live and learn eh? I remember when I sold it and took my friend for a drive in my new car that was also a manual. He was impressed by how smooth I shifted with a new car compared to that old truck.

braking, not breaking

rpm meter is for maintaining in the power band (because you can't feel it). Not for stopping. And that's why a lot of non performance car or bike don't have a rpm meter.

Nice! They don't teach that for sure.

J turn?

Falling in love with your online instructor again, are we? 😂

@preciousagulefo899 jealousy is an ugly thing precious. Haven't you got anything better to do with your spare hand, sweetie ?

@preciousagulefo899 i also don't know what you mean by again, you must be mistaken me with your mother.

@@phantomwolf3300 I was teasing you cos you said he’s easy on the eyes. I assumed the “again” and laugh emoji would make it obvious I was joking, since I obviously dunno you to know if you’ve fallen for an instructor before. Apparently you took me seriously, which was not the intent. Also, I’m not sure what I would be jealous of since I’m not an online instructor. Either way, I apologize as I can see my comment has clearly upset you. 🙏🏽

@preciousagulefo899 clearly you have a problem taking your own medicine / medications. No apology needed cause I'm not a snowflake who can see you have nothing better to do but read into silly childish ideas, and in the grown world it's called "f#ck around and find out" ,if you took offence to my comeback ,then that's on yours and your mother's face, bye 👋

I think instructors just teach you to pass your test and not prepare you for actual solo driving. Any useful tips they will just ignore as it’s irrelevant at this stage of learning to drive.

my dad always tells me to never go into first while the car is moving.

Hey Seb Lewis - you are correct my friend. 1st gear is just to get the vehicle moving. And the other mistake that novice drivers make is to stay in 1st gear way too long. One of the things that I ask new driver is: "what makes the car go faster?" They always say it's the throttle. As an example, I get them to put it in 1st gear and throttle up. They soon realize it's the transmission and not the engine. All the best, Cheers Rick

Not always true! If you have a gutless car going into first while moving isn’t a bad move if you need to keep the revs higher but need a crawling speed.

On some cars it isn’t possible to stay in second for speeds below 8mph for example without using clutch control, I would personally stay in second but that’s besides the point. Annoyingly, likely as it is a diesel there was a fine line at these slow speeds, I would stay in second to avoid the sudden jolt of putting it in first. At 9mpg or so the car wanted to struggle to maintain second so I would have to use clutch control, accelerate etc to keep it from stalling. I wouldn’t personally use 1st unless I was much slower. On a petrol car though it’s not an issue to use it. Every car is different is what the point is here

@@huonsmith Because your dad learned to drive with old cars that had no synchro in the first gear. But that hasn't been a thing in the past few decades. You can use first any time you'd like.

😂

I'm happy to hear the video was helpful.

I'm happy you found one

I hope you have enjoy driving manual. It may be hard at first but it's nice when you get good.

Nice car.

man same, my first car was a used 2018 Honda Civic Type R, and it's fun as hell to drive

this is me rn i bought a 2019 type r without any experience driving manual 😂

@@whathehellbruh9151 good luck on not breaking the car. Jk. 🤣

​@@whathehellbruh9151where are y'all getting the money for these first cars? goddamn

Replying because this is a relatively new comment... I learned basically on my own to drive my little mini cooper in Canada. Let me say that it's really hard when people give you bad advice or you just can't understand how your car is meant to work. It's scary stallin, especially in an intersection. But when you finally get it, and you get good advice, it'll be worth it! You will learn a lot from just experience, but these kind of videos also help a bunch for questions that usually don't have easy answers. I've had to ask so many questions to so many different people and EVERYONE seems to have different answers to each question... My mechanic tells me one thing, people online tell me another, friends and family tell me something completely different, then videos online say something else too. It's all confusing information... I would listen to who you trust to not blow out your clutch or damage your engine. Instructors and mechanics are great people to talk to and will have the most reliable information :) Every car is different, but rule of thumb when starting out (from what I've learned so far) is if the engine quivers, it means you don't have enough clutch for the RPMs or speed you are going... If you feel your engine quiver, or hear it (because you will), it wouldn't be a bad idea to press your clutch down all the way to get everything stable again. Popping the clutch will result in a stall, but pressing it down when your RPMs are too high will hurt the clutch. It will take time, but learning when to slowly release the clutch will come with practice Hope your learning goes well :3

So do I here in Taiwan ^_^

I'm glad my instructor (I'm Dutch) did teach me this fully and also let me experience the differences in coasting, engine braking, deliberately letting the car slow down too much in the wrong gear to feel what it starts doing (kinda hard in the average diesel with more torque on just the clutch compared to the average-petrolslurper), just starting to roll with the clutch only, trying to roll from second gear with the clutch only, everything was squeezed into my mind. She basically learned me that above 50 km/h you start braking first and than clutch, just so you feel the car is still doing something, where coasting by pushing the clutch down at high speeds feels liks the car or you isn't in control anymore, where below 50 km/h it isn't such a big deal which order you stick to. Big difference for me is probably that I was already interested in the whole sequence when I was young: as my parents got rid of the car shortly after me and my sister were born (public transport where I live is very good), we only had rentals about 3 times a year or so, thus a trip on a car was always something special. And thus I was quickly iintrigued by the rising hum the car produced, which would then drop again and than started rising again, while my dad (or mom) would shift the stick in another position just as that happened. So thus I asked and they explained on a quiet road (and also how it works that when you're in neutral, you can rev the engine all you want, but nothing will happen). I didn't understand the idea about the ideal range of power of course, but at least it got my curious mind satisfied ;) When I started taking lessons, I basically started shifting like I had done that before: timing ofcourse was off, and I found the hand of my instructor on the stick first and she said we would start learning shifting gears on a quiet road, and I had to forget about clutching and the stick itself for now (and this felt totally unnatural to me)

Google or KZfaq search spider found your searching words that is why they are recommending, that might correct as you are searching in second step...

brake

It's kinda fun to only engine break though. Makes you feel like driving a racing car but slower (=. The car in the video seems to rev very low, on my accent, I keep it between 2k and 3k rpm when slowing down with engine break only. Be careful if there is a car behind though, might want to press the brake a little to light up the rear lights.

@@foufoufun yep always popping red sign

@@foufoufun Uhm, you don't use your engine to brake in a race. No racing driver does that. The only expeption would be if his brakes were at risk of overheating and thereby failing. If that was the case then he needs better brakes. You brakes will slow you down much more quickly than your engine can. It's sort of what they were designed to do.

Ned Murray. When you press the clutch pedal you are DISengaging the clutch. When you release the pedal you engage the clutch.

@@foufoufun I usually just press the brake, there is no point to downshift since it just puts excess wear on the clutch that I would rather have on my brakes

I've noticed you've watched a lot, thank you.

If you're at 1000 rpm and don't press the clutch first you will stall, that's gonna give you a driving fault.

Same in sweden

Thank you! I hope it helps you.

Good luck 🤞 and thank you ☺

Conquer Driving You're welcome 😇 thanks for replying

I like ur video

You're welcome ☺

at 2nd gear you can still capable of building up speed that you will need brakes however if the road has too many slowdown from hazards then its speed can be controlled to the point a 2nd gear running between low to mid speed can be slowed down by clutching in

You're welcome ☺

I hope my videos help 😊
