Also teach them what to look out for when they are driving. Then, let them drive around a bit. After that, teach them how to actually be smooth and more explanation of what to look out for

Don't worry. I drive for about 10 years and I still remember mt first lessons. I was so nervous that I couldn't hold the clutch because my let was shaking so much. But driving is those things like riding a bicycle, not about being easy, let me try to explain, you start first by putting everything on your active memory, all your decisions are consent "I have to press the clutch now", "I cannot cross my arms" so on and so forth. About 6 months to 1 year later all those movements go to your muscle memory, so your body knows what to do like when you ride a bicycle, at first you have to put all your concentration on balancing, but once you learn that you just do it naturally, its the same concept and then all your attention starts to be 100% at the road and being safe. Its not like in 1 year you're an expert driver, is that in 1 year all the controls of the car will be in your muscle memory (if you practice obviously). At the beginning driving is always overwhelming, but thats 100% normal, it gets way better.

@GackFinder 2 ай бұрын

@@arturpaivads Very good points. After I got my drivers licence (manual stick shifter), it took me some 2 years of driving semi-regularly (once a week to the store plus maybe some 4-5 longer roadtrips per year to see family etc) before I felt truly confident in most traffic situations. It takes time before you "become one with the car" in the same way as you become one with your bicycle. Reason why it's so easy to ride a bike is because you prbably did it as a 4 year old when you never worried about anything and your brain was in full development and was primed for learning. As an adult, it's more difficult because you worry way more about everything. And statistics show, the longer you wait, the harder it gets, so don't wait. One hour of training per year alive seems to be the rule of thumb. I was 38 when I got my licence, had some 32 hours of training with a proper teacher, and I aced the test apart from accidentally activating the high beams when signalling. :)

Little story for you; I’m 39 years old. I was encouraged to get in a car around 10 years ago to try driving, I have always been scared of it because 1 mistake by me, could end someone’s life, at the extreme end. In a carpark, I moved off ok and went round in a circle, I seen 30 on the dials and presumed I was travelling at 30, I wasn’t that was the rev counter. I was travelling at 7mph and when I was informed of that, I freaked out, I couldn’t see myself travelling faster and it scared me. I accepted I’d never drive. I’m finding it hard to get around now that my disabilities are worsening and I decided to try learning to drive. I started in a car park, had 3 lessons learning about steering, parking, moving and stopping. I was encouraged to continue onto the quiet road at night and I drove home. I was surprised at how at ease I felt. I have opted to learn in an automatic. I have created a TikTok account to track my progress as a learner, I haven’t had any official lessons yet, I haven’t really had that much time on the road and my theory is tomorrow. My advice to you, being so nervous, is, ask friends or family to take you into a car park. I was positively encouraged onto the main road so that helped me a lot, I hope you’ll experience the same. You’ll be ready when you feel ready and not everyone feels ready at a young age, I’m almost 40 and learning! Give yourself time.

Honestly, I found the explanation of the clutch confusing even though I know how it works. IMHO it was (a) too abstract for a student who has no idea how it works, (b) sort of unorganised, jumping from the engine to the wheels, to individual gears... Despite it being a pretty simple concept (in its basics). Mabye using an analogy with a bicycle would be helpful.

Great video Richard. My first lesson was the instructor putting me behind the wheel within 20 minutes and having me drive on my city's bypass road. I've started hating driving before I even got my license, but your videos make it seem relaxing.

This really brings me back to my first lesson, my old instructor took me to an empty Morrisons car park to practice learning the biting point. Plus learning how to change gears with the engine off.

Richard I really like that Teaching style, I wish I'd had it! I was stuck in the driving seat, the Instructor had Her brake and clutch told me to press the accelerator and released the handbrake, so I was wobbling all over the place! Well done Emily, that was an amazing start, you're going to be a good driver. We've got to have a full series now, so we can all see her safely through to driving test.

I realise that I passed my test back in 2008 but I wish I had this quality of instruction. Excellent job. I was never taught to pivot from brake to accelerator. I still passed first time though. 😊 And putting the pupil in the passenger seat to learn clutch and brake before the pressure pot of the drivers seat is genius. That drivers seat is a scary place to be as a first time learner.

I took my test over twenty years ago and the thing that held me back the most at the time was, without a doubt, confidence. But nowadays, I love driving, I love the freedom of being able to go where I want, and when I want. And that came from having a good instructor to help prepare me for the test, and then doing a lot of long-distance driving over the years. (The only thing I don't like are the extortionate prices of fuel, and the sheer amount of traffic on the roads!) You're a great teacher - I've never known someone to start off in the passenger seat just getting a feel for braking, but that makes so much sense to do. Also, even someone who's been driving twenty plus years still gets a thrill when the car just glides to a stop!

I've just done my first driving lesson today and skipped all the way up to just setting off and stopping but this video gave me so much info to note down cause as I was driving I was so hyper focused i couldn't really take in and remember the info the instructor was giving me while focusing on what i was doing, I've now got the order of setting off and stopping noted down to revise enough to be a lot more comfortable with it for my next lesson, then I can focus more on the steering and checking mirrors and blind spots! also a very anxious first driver so this helps so much! Thank you

Finally got to watching this, great video and fantastic instruction. I'm a private pilot and can confirm "my airplane" is common, pretty much every instructor in the world uses some variation, but most common in the UK at least is "I have control" followed by a confirmation "you have control".

Thanks for this, very informative. Keeping with "tradition" having taught my wife to drive over 25 years ago I'll be teaching my son the basics over the next few months and your videos are fantastic. Well presented and explained. Once (he's passed his provisional test) and I feel he's competent to be on the road and able to safely manoeuvre, I'll then look at sending for finer details by a professional instructor.

I was supposed to go to sleep an hour and a half ago but I saw this video, only wanted to watch a little and finish it tomorrow but that didn't work out too well 😂 I think these videos can be really helpful to people learning, and I think more videos with Emily (As long as she's comfortable with it) as she learns new things and updates on her progress would be really helpful to see how people can progress. Well done Emily this was a great first lesson

@victoriab8186 5 ай бұрын

thanks so much for recording this lesson. I had a few lessons a couple of years back, and had got to a point where I was able to change gears relatively smoothly but was still terrified of them. The pandemic halted my learning and then I have had a couple of years where it's not been practical to get lessons. This is really helping me to get back into the mindset where I could imagine driving a car, and giving me new ways to think about things so that hopefully I won't be quite so discouraged when I get back in the driver's seat and have to start almost from scratch

My first driving lesson was in the 80's in Hungary and I learnt in a Trabant. I didn't really understood the gearshifting, it was so difficult, so I spent seconds to change every time. My first car was a Dacia with a normal gearshifting. So my first 15 minutes was nothing else, just learning to changing gears, forwards and backwards, from 2 to 4 and opposite, reverse, etc. I just thought, I don't have time to watch down all the times. I don't know it is a technic in these days, but I suggest to spend time with this also with your students. It was really nice to watch this first lesson 'playing' with the pedals, so you should do this with the gear changing as well. Yes, your lesson was really relaxed and understandable in every way. Clap-clap-clap!

@MatrixFuse 9 ай бұрын

Fantastic video. One of my favourite so far! Like others have said, I hope there is a follow up. You're correct, Richard 'my car' is an adaptation from aircraft training. More typically you'll here 'I have control' followed by (usually) the F.O confirming 'you have control' but many pilots also use 'My aircraft' / 'your aircraft'. It became more important with the introduction of fly-by-wire because pilots wouldn't know if their collegues were adding input because they couldnt feel it on the joystick on their side after many manufacturers of the large jets replaced a dual yoke with independent joysticks. I'd absolutely love it if you ever did track day training, Richard. Sign me straight up! Something I've always wanted to do! Good luck, Emily. You did really well! I'm sure you'll be passed in no time, you picked things up really quickly. Nothing beats learning to drive. I wish I could go back 13 years and have that experience again 😊

I like how you arranged the learning from safest to more risky to ease the learners into car controls. My driving instructor did things the opposite way(steering first, then pedals) and I picked it up reasonably well, but I think your approach is better as it takes a lot of initial stress out of the learning process. Also yes, explaining what clutch and gears do is very helpful. When I was learning, I found it much easier to deal with the clutch after I understood what it actually did and how it worked. If anything, I'd recommend explaining a even more about how clutch works, i.e. how it presses against the flywheel but slips a bit when you ride the clutch, this really helped me to understand what the bite point is and how I should control the clutch when getting off it(and why I was making it burn when I overrevving it while starting 😄).

@ConquerDriving 9 ай бұрын

Thank you. The more I feel my pupil understands it, the more I explain. I try to keep it to a minimum though to avoid confusion.
