@@ZONDOdriving New to standard, so I'm still feeling it out. Shortly after watching your video, I found out my car has hill assist. That may be the way to go, but I still want to learn each method. My parking brake is set up slightly different (not a hand brake) but I think that could work as well.

Thanks for the video. I've got a Nissan van with a pull and twist sort of hand brake. I also live in a country with a lot of hills and mountains. I have had some difficulty and doing hill starts on some of the steep hills. My vehicle also does not have an anti-roll back feature. Up til now, I've been doing the balance method, but the vehicle rolls back very quickly and I occasionally stall or squeal the wheels. I've been learning to quickly press the gas, but slowly release the clutch. This has been the best for me so far... only problem is I might roll back a foot or foot and a half. I think I'm going to try the footbrake method by getting the clutch to the bite point (or close to it) before moving my foot from brake to gas... hopefully I'll get this. Thanks for the video as it has been very informative.

The heel and toe method?

@Benj654 Ай бұрын

So with the footbrake one, can you hold the car stationary with just the clutch without it rolling back, or do you need a little bit of gas too? (Obvs more gas to get it moving)

@ZONDOdriving Ай бұрын

It's not so much about adding gas to get it moving, you bring the clutch a little higher to get it moving. A common mistake from learners is thinking that adding more gas will get it moving forward but if your clutch is not at the biting point, the car wont move no matter how much gas you put on. Hope that helps. 👍🏾

@ZONDOdriving 11 ай бұрын

Hello and glad to see this is reaching as far as Zim. Theoretically it's possible to do it without the gas, but you're more likely to stall that way. Especially if you have a heavy load in your car or a weak clutch. Are you learning to drive at the moment?

So if I'm using Hill assist, can I bring clutch to bite point before letting go of the footbrake and then go for gas? Also, would this technique burn the clutch?

@ZONDOdriving 10 ай бұрын

Yes you can do that. It only burns the clutch if you hold high above the biting point while you're braking or have the gas on for too long. For a short time it's fine and it's how most people drive.
