im in love with the socks😂❤

I know how to drive a manual transmission car but i still need a refresher and reminder every now and then since the car we have is an automatic and i rarely get the chance to drive a manual. Thank you very muchh, been binge watching your videos

Great video very helpful !!!keep up the good work

you are so much more informative than my instructor! Thank you so much, this video was exactly what I needed to boost my confidence and understanding about those pedals.

Cheers, my friend who learnt to drive in the 90s is trying to get me to go into neutral with the hand break and this is causing all kinds of mayhem 🤣

Thank so much, I have learn a lot.

I have been taught when u stopped completely,I need to put hand brake on and neutral.😮

When I was learning to drive, I really forced myself to do things the correct way in order to get my habits right, because bad habits are hard to correct. These are really really important things for when you buy your first manual car, not so much for when you're in a driving school car, and it won't help you pass the driving test, but I would still recommend you to avoid these things: 1. don't rest your foot on a clutch pedal. The only times when they should touch is when you're using it to shift gears or stopping/going. It's a clutch pedal, and not a footrest (footrest is on the left). Your clutch is going to last longer. 2. when stopping at traffic lights, see whether the lights for pedestrians crossing your street are green (it is often visible). If they have green, you have some time before you get the green light to move off (for you to get the green light, pedestrians have to have red). You should NOT be in the first gear with your foot on the clutch the whole time waiting for the green light. Instead, you should put it in neutral and release the cluch. When you see the pedestrian green light starting to blink and go to red, that means you should now get ready to go and switch to first gear. Again this saves your clutch (clutch release bearing). Please do not try to practice this when your driving test is soon. Then you should do thing the way you learned so you pass the test. But when you get your car, please have this on your mind. Sorry for long comment, I tried to make everything as clear as possible. Also, I love this channel, Mark. Keep up the great work.

Hi new driver here. Your videos are really informative. Can I ask do you drive a diesel or a petrol car? I learnt in a diesel but struggling at times getting used to my 1 litre Petrol car, with stalling and feel like I over rev sometimes.

kinda hard with dbw with no mode (I'm looking at you, 2nd gen picanto). the throttle kinda has its own mind, so rev matching is constantly amiss

Great videos, thank you! I would like to ask about diesel cars. So, if it's 1500 RPM in a petrol car, how many should there be in a diesel when moving off? Thank you!

Also if the learners wears a flexible bottom shoe it reduces the control learning time. Plimsoll or Converse type shoe helps

its not good for your clutch to sit in gear with the clutch in waiting for a light... Also not good to rest the foot on the clutch pedal when you're not using it either... Better to learn the whole proper sequence from the start your transmission will thank you

Once you get the gas to 1.5k RPM, do you keep your foot at that level on the gas or release it then rise clutch?

Your TOB is gonna go out by waiting at traffic lights with the clutch depressed. That’s SO bad for your clutch, it’s not designed for that

I really don’t understand that fuss about going neutral on stop; actually, the best practice is to go neutral and stay on a foot break; why? Because then you avoid bumping on someone in front queuing in a traffic up the hill; yes! That’s what happened to me! I was lucky to be driving a big car because the one that bumped into me was a van. Stay focused folks and choose logic

Handbrake neutral! Stops you blinding people behind.

I'm learning to drive I keep forgetting you can go into 1st before you stop
