Clutch up or down at junctions?

At junctions it's best to keep the clutch up when possible but sometimes you may need to keep it down. In this video I explain and demonstrate the advantages of keeping the clutch up and why you need to hold the clutch down on some junctions.

Once you become experienced, you’ll be able to relegate shifting to mostly instinct. Meaning that you will basically automatically shift down as you slow down without having to think about it. Only in situations where something either captures your full attention or requires your shifting hand to do something very quickly, will this ‘automatic’ shifting fail. For example, if you are doing an emergency stop, your full attention is on stopping and you very likely won’t be able to shift down as you come to a stop. Or if at the moment of shifting something appears in front of your car and you have to swerve suddenly, that very likely will lead you to miss shifting down.

Hi , been following you for almost 2 years now and by far you are the best driving instructor on KZfaq and much better than the driving schools I had to learn from . I can drive and do most parking and reversing well but I live on a street that is downhill and our driveway is downhill. It's quite scary reversing the car as I must hold the biting point and give quite a lot of gas , about almost 3000rpm . I have no problems with hill starts , my only problem is hill reversing . For some reason it's scary for me to reverse up our driveway , my dad does it quite easily though in manual and automatic cars . Do you have any tips for me or maybe you could make a video . Also in all of your videos for parking where reversing is involved you never show a camera view of your leg movements on the paddles . Is this because reversing is just like first gear so it's obvious?

@DarkHoodness 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah I have a similar problem - Reversing uphill needs high RPM for the car to not stall, but isn't good for the clutch if you like to do it slowly. Perhaps you're supposed to go as fast as the car will allow with the clutch up, keeping your RPM high enough for the car to not stall, and use your momentum to make it easier for the car instead of varying the clutch at a lower speed and having it constantly half-pressed with the biting point, but reversing at anything above 3 MPH isn't something I'm comfortable with doing yet... It may be a confidence and experience thing.

@ConquerDriving 3 жыл бұрын

You need to be slower when reversing so it's much harder on the clutch. Best to reverse downhill and drive forwards up hill on your driveway.

@DarkHoodness 3 жыл бұрын

@@ConquerDriving A scenario which worries me is what to do if I'm facing downhill on a single track country road, and I meet an oncoming car, or lorry, or vehicle which cannot reverse as easily as I can - If I need to reverse back uphill to get to the nearest passing place, I wouldn't know how to do that without overworking the clutch.

This channel is truly an invaluable resource! I'm so grateful! Such a great teacher, and it's really helpful to have the consistency with teaching style when I come back here with another question. I second this question about reversing uphill!!! I found myself in a tough position just yesterday, parked on a downhill and when I came back to my car someone had parked very close in front of me. I was really nervous about rolling forward into them when reversing. Luckily they drove off while I was psyching myself up haha I did the maneuver anyway to practice as if the car was still there, and it went fine. But, it's really helpful to have your instructions in mind when I'm in a situation where I have to think harder than usual due to pressure/nerves.

@gabrieleriva_bboykappside Жыл бұрын

I'm currently learning, there is this bridge that ends up with a light signal. Thing is, it is straight at the end of it, meaning you have to keep your speed controlled when you come to it. So I would brake slightly to balance the increase given by the slope then only use the clutch to shift down, then I gradually brake until I'm at the signals. Otherwise I'd be too fast at the junction and it'd be dangerous. And I usually get my foot off the clutch when I have to turn, in fact you shift down before that. But I still find myself comfortable going clutch down when I get to roundabouts because I feel more control over the braking/shifting/lifting up the foot again. It was also suggested by my instructor

Personally, it is completely fun to drive manual, and it looks really fun aswell, but i have to admit that i am more of an electric type of driver, aka automatic. I still enjoy watching your videoes and find your videoes really interesting, but this is genuinly too hard for me. I can achieve alot of things if i just work for it, but there is this one little thing that wont get to my legs as i am driving. I am still proud for trying and all the times i have failed etc. Good driving and peace!

Turning Left into a side road or Turning Left into another main road Any turning left would only have to let you wait in queue waiting for a clear path safely to turn left But you may have to wait for Traffic light signal Or may be wait at STOP SIGNAL OR WAIT at single horizontal line on the road surface Waist till find safe opportunity to make action Or wait at double horizontal light on the road surface before turning left . These are essential driving discipline every drivers learn to drive safely at all lessons . Turning right is a very different story ; Only at. Road where divider as lines or traffic signal with square box in road surface with cross inside box , that box may be in the cross road middle part Or square box may be found exactly on road surface at the or before turning right Before divider It means if you are on the right fast lane you can enter the cross❌box and enter a free space there keeping front of car slightly turn on right It means you can turn right once opposite side vehicles are stopped at traffic light red, Wait for a safe opportunity. If the road has divider and follow the same warning before safe opportunity to turn right into right side road but keeping to your left lane . Even in case where U TURN is allowed. Then follow the same warning before turning u-turn

Thanks for yet another great video! I've been wondering, though, my dad tells me to put the car on neutral before reaching the junction, and then choose the appropriate gear based upon estimation whether I need a second or a first gear. Thing is, it makes me kinda confused because it adds up to the amount of steps and decisions I should make, so I find it better to keep the clutch up, but also keeping it up sometimes makes me go through junctions way too quickly, and the car feels like it's about to flip on its side because I'm taking a turn while it's not that slow. This thing still confuses me, I think I'd need more videos on it. Would you please upload a video of you driving on a casual road, for like 15 minutes, with a POV of the puddles and all? It's be like a conclusion of all of your videos being applied.

When i get to a decently open junction, i can't do it in gear 1 as it would be too slow, and can't do it in gear 2 as it goes a bit too fast for my liking and if I slow it down without clutch it will get jerky. The best way is to keep in second gear and press the clutch a bit, not fully down, once the car is straight i can easily gain control back, will i be marked down for doing that ?

I've just watched one of your other videos and gave it total praise as it made perfect sense. I get some of what your saying here, but when you have to go very slow with the real chance of braking at any time, I don't really understand why you're so against being on the clutch with your foot over the break. In my mind that is safer than foot on accelerater hovering over the clutch, as there will be a slight delay in moving your feet to brake. Can you explain please?

@ConquerDriving 3 жыл бұрын

You need the clutch up to so have power to continue, you don't want the car to slow down or even roll back as you turn across the path of traffic. It's also smoother to lift the clutch as you're slowing down on approach to the junction instead of when you need to accelerate.

My second gear is around 8-15. I've always had a fear that my instructor would think I am coasting when infact I'm just avoiding the car to shake due to low speeds at Gear 2. What I do is when turning only in tight bends I put my clutch down and keep going then rev match to keep it in gear 2 (all this in gear 2). My car wont allow me to shift to gear 1 unless under 3 mph so thats what I gotta do.

@ConquerDriving 3 жыл бұрын

You need to clutch down when you are too slow for 2nd, this is not coasting. Some cars do have a particularly high minimum speed in second gear but only usually on cold start. I guess yours is normally 9-10mph.

It depends how slow you need to go, if you can stay fast enough to stay in 2nd gear then you can use 2nd gear, if you need to go slower then you will need 1st gear. Make sure you lift the clutch to the bite point after changing gear so that you have power and come fully off there clutch as soon as you can whilst staying smooth.

Would holding the clutch at biting point and feathering up and down as required to adjust the speed (with the right foot ready to brake) be better than leaving the clutch all the way up for such situations? Kindly reply. Thanks!

I've not driven on Indian roads but keeping the clutch at the bite point will wear it more quickly. It's better to practise and with some time you will be quicker at using the gas and finding the bite point.

Into neutral if you need to stop for very long. Handbrake on if necessary. Unless you like spending money on a new clutch.

That's why liked driving diesels in driving lessons. I would basically slow down by being off of the gas or brake and there was a distint point where the engine starts to push and I know right there is where I must decide to clutch down or not. Much more subtle on petrols after I passed.

I've trained on diesel and successfully finished my driving test on the first time, but going from a 2L diesel engine to my 1.2L petrol car was a pain in the butt - especially for hill starts or quicker starts in traffic, as the engine tends to stall easily with much less "resistance" or vibrations than a diesel.

@Danielagostinho21 3 жыл бұрын

@@MrRobbi373 That's what I found too. I figured out the weight of the engine changes a lot from diesel to petrol. Found this when previously had to hold on the bite point 7s to shift from 3rd to 2nd, while the petrol barely 2s.

Thanks mate ,been learning car for a week and your videos help a lot By the way i am from a hilly state of india so had to drive in hills for the most part so should i prefer the clutch brake combination method or handbrake method to get the car rolling from rest ? I personally felt clutch +brake combination method easier but according to dad it can cause wear and tear to clutch

@ConquerDriving 3 жыл бұрын

The trouble with the clutch and foot brake method is that it doesn't work in all cars. The handbrake method is more reliable.

Try to keep the clutch down or fully up as much as possible. Being on the bite point for extended periods of time is bad for it. If you wait for a bigger gap in front before you move it can make it easier.

When taking a corner, should the braking be completed before changing gear before taking the corner? Many thanks.

@ConquerDriving 2 жыл бұрын

It is usually better to finish braking and gear change before the junction to ensure you're fully prepared before your decision.

Hello, I’m hoping you can help me please. I’m not the best at roundabouts at the moment. I struggle with them the most out of everything. I have seen your video to do with round abouts. When I see a round about coming up, should I be slowing down, then when I get to the round about line I should be at 10mph? (I have an instructor and he’s meant to be really good with all his reviews, but he’s not told me anything you took about really, I was struggling with the biting point at one point, I was coming up to quick all the time, until I saw you say the 4 second rule on the biting point. Please give me your key tips!🌻

10mph and second gear is a good start as you approach a roundabout. This video may help: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i8qEhrVzr9jbZ40.html

Hello, another great video! I just have a question about the clutch when turning. When I take turns, I tend to follow your mirrors, signal, speed, gear, decide routine, but my clutch tends to be partially down when turning still, would this count as a minor or driving fault if the clutch is down even just a bit? It's a bit of a bad habit of mine! Thanks.

@kathrynbarker4000 2 жыл бұрын

It's often still a bit down from doing the gear part because you can't come off the clutch suddenly because it jerks.

@ConquerDriving 2 жыл бұрын

It's generally not a problem as long as you have full control of the car. Sounds like you need to get ready a bit sooner so the clutch can be finished before the junction for 10mph 2nd gear junctions. Clutch tends to stay down until you can go on first gear junctions as you will be to slow to bring it up.

Hello, I live in Norway, and I tend to struggle with very steep hills, nearly 30% elevation hills. When accelerating in the hill, ive got to change gear, and im not that fast with the gearchanges yet, and by the time ive changed gear, the hill has slowed me down so much to the point where I stall. So to avoid that, i tend to change gear at around 4-5000 rpm. Got any advice?

@ConquerDriving 3 жыл бұрын

That's a very steep hill, I don't see a problem with high rpm on hills that steep, 3-4000rpm sounds about right to me. Keep a lower gear down the hill too to save the brakes. I often have 4000+rpm down such steep hills. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gq50faqrt7izhZs.html
