@@chandramohan3363 Of course - it's called the Highway Code. Search for it online :-)

My instructor says clutch then gas because the clutch gives enough power to pull off.. should I be using gas as well or not 😭

@@annabelleprince7527 Maybe it works in his car - but ask him what will happen in your first car if it has a small petrol engine?

@@annabelleprince7527 feel the engine noise and vibration using both techniques, accelerate first always. That way you will never stall.

My instructor didn't teach me this because he has a diesel car. They usually have enough torque to get you going from just bringing the clutch up slowly. I learned the hard way. Drove my sisters car after my BMW lessons without learning gas then bite and I stalled alot 😂😂

@@itzzayo5515 I'm having this exact problem. Learnt in a Diesel & bought a Petrol now that I've passed. Less than a week with my new car and I've stalled more times than I ever did whilst learning.

Passed my two weeks ago and got a car (2011 model) last week, I was never taught gas first and its resulted in about 5 stalls in not the best situations which has really knocked my confidence! I'm now putting off using my car 😪

I was taught (in a petrol car) to never give gas before you reach the bite point lol. No wonder I was stalling the car so often

The problem with that method is that it works best in modern cars. What if a learner passes in your car and then buys an older car with a small petrol engine? Stalling everywhere probably. Gas then bite works in every car so is how we always teach new drivers.

A little gas makes it so much easier!

Thanks for your comment - as it’s the perfect example of why everyone should learn the ‘gas then bite’ method! Especially now that diesel cars are in the decline again now, so most people will probably drive petrol, before switching to electric eventually.

@@AdvanceDrivingSchool what do u mean by “are in the decline” ? Sorry im not native 😆

@@MonkeyBadAssFist It means that there are fewer diesel cars than there once were, and the number of them is still going down.

My car is petrol, but it can take off by just bringing the clutch up. 🤷‍♂️

Well done! 🚙👍🏼

Gas before clutch definitely works better! Good luck 🚙👍🏼

We always use 'gas before clutch!' Hopefully that will be the end of your stalling 👍🏼

@@AdvanceDrivingSchool just want to make sure then the exact process when you move off - clutch all the way down, put it in first gear, then push on the gas just slightly? And then raise the clutch until the biting point, hold for two seconds or so, slowly release the clutch and then you're off....??

Pretty much. We filmed it in more detail in this video: How To Drive A Manual Car: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qLGhl6md36-wipc.html 👍🏼

We have made several videos about changing up and down gears - have a look on our channel 👍🏼

Noob

@@sixstonks9385 HAHAHAHA amazing comment

You're missing out on the true joy of driving that only comes with driving a manual car. It's so much more fun to drive manual trust me

It’s fun tho

Every manual driver can drive automatic but every automatic driver cannot drive manual car 👍

As we say in the video, you can get away with this method in newer cars. Try moving off in a fully loaded older petrol car and it would be a different story!

@@AdvanceDrivingSchool Well, I'm currently driving a 2002 VW Polo unleaded and I'm finding no trouble with the method I'm using now.

Heel & Toe Rev-Matching: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pNF7iZuLq6u6gps.html 👍🏼

We don’t need engine power as much when pulling away downhill so the ‘gas’ isn’t as important. We use the handbrake every time we park the car, and sometimes on uphill stops. It’s up to the driver 👍🏼

@@AdvanceDrivingSchool awesome thank you. When you say parked do you mean when parked and leaving the car. If at a junction then would you say you use the handbrake every time you are waiting at a junction regardless if up/down or flat? Thank you again 😊

This video might help: When to use the handbrake: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r8tifamI0t68kaM.html 👍🏼

At least your instructor could see why their old method was unsuitable for use in other cars. This is exactly why we prefer ‘Gas then clutch’ as it works everywhere 👍🏼

You should follow your instructors advice, as they know their car best. This car has a ‘hill assist’ function, but we find it unpredictable and have turned it off. Also, you don’t want to rely on a feature that your first car might not have.

No, it’s just for pulling away. Once rolling, it’s the other way round - like in this video: How To Drive A Manual Car: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qLGhl6md36-wipc.html 👍🏼

We definitely prefer the Gas, then bite method as shown in the video.

@@AdvanceDrivingSchool ok...I will use gas than bite method. Thank you for your answer. I wish you all the best.

This is exactly why we recommend the 'gas then bite' method, as it works in all cars!

@@AdvanceDrivingSchool Very true, I think instructors should teach it, especially as they have much newer cars, which are also more forgiving than an older car, which a student is more likely to have once they pass

Yeah mostly it works on fuel injection car. But it doesnt work when your car fully capacity passanger or you will start drive your car at hill road.

We don’t think so - as our tuition car’s clutch always lasts at least 100,000 miles!

I'm sure one grind is not going to be a problem. I bet you won't do that again!

@@danielleroux6490 as long as you don’t grind it for too long

No, this is only for pulling away. Gear changing once moving in slightly different - this video might help: How To Change Gear: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h9WoZ5Spus3WmYU.html

No, this car has a manual gearbox so we change gear ourselves. 👍🏼

If you are pressing the brake, you can’t push the accelerator! The trouble with that method is that it doesn’t work in all cars, and can lead to a lot of stalling. In contrast, ‘gas then bite’ works in all cars 👍🏼

You are probably lifting the clutch too early or too much. This video might help: Mastering Clutch Control: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/btWWiK5_tt-9cps.html 👍🏼

yes - this method works in any car

We think so, because it only works in new cars.

@@AdvanceDrivingSchool okay thanks for your help! Great video!

@@ja_2003 your method will only work in flat ground and some gentle slopes but if you are in a very steep uphill then there is a big chance that you will stall. I do agree with @Advance Driving School that you need to give gas first then clutch.

Keep practicing! Your right foot needs to be very gentle when ‘setting the gas’ 👍🏼

As long as the engine doesn't stall there isn't really a problem - but a little more gas to prevent the engine struggling is probably a good idea, if it gives a smoother pull away.

Better than stalling! 👍🏼

The placement of our small blind spot mirrors has varied, depending on the shape of the car’s door mirrors. Just have a good think before you stick them on 👍🏼

​@@AdvanceDrivingSchool Thanks Just ordered Baseus Blindspot for him. Maybe let him decide where and make him practice parking more and more. Your channel, imo, one of the best. Straight to the point, and same driving and road side. Have a suggestion for square mirror shape?

Clutch control on steep hills: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iM-DZ9qTzpulc2Q.html 👍🏼

Some cars have sensitive accelerator pedals, so it's tricky to get the engine speed just right. With practice you'll get it!

@@AdvanceDrivingSchool yeah! It doesn’t take much to make my car rev 😭😂

Not so - the Audi A4 we had would auto-release the electric handbrake when the clutch bit!

The Vw golf I have will release the electronic handbrake before biting point is reached. I’m a driving instructor btw.

How strange. Perhaps in your car you have no choice but to use the clutch first method!

We are lucky to be living in a time where we have the choice to drive a manual or automatic car. Manual is great for those who like the challenge of mastering a more difficult task, and the pleasure of driving a manual car afterwards. Automatic is perfect if you want to learn faster, or just want to get from A to B in the smoothest way possible. We drive both so understand both points of view 🚗🚙👍🏼

No sorry I completely disagree with your point of view. Automatic is so boring you'll be fighting the urge to not fall asleep. It makes driving feel like a chore. Whereas driving a manual car is fun and engaging - you truly feel more alert and focused on the act of driving, so I think it's safer too not just more enjoyable. Here in America people are lazy slobs that mostly never learned to drive a manual car and they are missing out. It's pathetic actually.

@Learn Linux No, it's not archaic, I truly disagree. Living in America a.k.a. the "land of automatics" sucks. Drivers don't really think about what they're doing when driving: they're in a sort of 'auto-pilot.' They tend to drive very aggressively by accelerating harshly from traffic lights only to have to hit the brakes to slow down. Or they maintain lots of speed when approaching a red light and then slam on the brakes. In other words, they drive like brain-dead jerks with their automatics. And driving an automatic is sooooo boring, I almost had a crash while rolling along in stop and go traffic because the person's car I was driving just keeps rolling if you take your foot off the brake. I think automatics are more dangerous! I love driving a manual transmission because it helps me feel more aware of what's going on around me. I'm alert and focused as a driver and can anticipate things ahead better. Plus it's so much more fun. And I actually saved $1,000 USD off the price of my car if I were like the typical American buying the automatic. That's how much the option would have cost. Plus it's a lot cheaper to replace a worn out clutch than it is to have an automatic transmission replaced! The sad thing is Americans don't really learn how to drive a manual car when they first learn how to drive unless someone in the family or a friend has one. Driving schools are mostly automatic only. Not having that skill right off that bat is a huge mistake as this limits their ability to drive manual cars forever, until they have the chance or desire to learn. It's best to learn with a manual car first thing. Then you at least can choose what you want when you can afford to buy your own car. Hope that makes sense.
