Thank you very much, I learned a lot from this lesson but it will be more helpful if show us how your legs are working during clutch control. Thank you very much 😊
In my early lessons, I hoped that my driving instructor would suggest learning clutch control in an empty space, because you get to soley focus on understanding the feel and function of it without the stress of moving vehicles. I wish I suggested it then. On the flip side I'm much better at it now and less stressed about the chance of stalling in flowing traffic, because I've experienced the panic and am partially immune to the embarrassment/hostility now I know how to handle it 😅
Really well explained. The thing is once you've mastered them skills you will be able to pull out of tricky junction have good car control when parking. My mum showed me some of these exercises when I was 13 on a farm road. The thing is once you've passed your test you may find yourself in that rarther tight space to get out of , because people have parked too close and you need perfect clutch control to get out. Or a junction right at the top of a steep hill onto a fast road which is closed and need to be able to get away quickly but safely
I have no issue doing close angle starts in modern cars that instructors usually have because the onboard computer adds gas on the bite point so I have my right foot covering the brake if needed. My issue is my own old crapbox car, if you don't add gas it will stall as you probably know, so I'll be constantly seesawing my feet and my right foot doesn't have that safety net covering the brake because its busy on the gas. Apart from that I feel more comfortable in my own car, strange really.
Do I have to hold the gas at 1.5 RPM as well as holding the bite point or do I just give the accelerator this "injection" to 1.5 and focus on the biting point? My old instructor told me to just focus on the clutch and not worry about the accelerator (I think his car was a diesel)
@@Omer698 yea I drove a diesel for years as an instructor as they are very hard to stall - I thought I was doing my students a favour having one.. but no - diesels are normally more expensive and students weren’t buying them after they passed their test normally so in the end I bought a petrol because of this! My students in the diesel learnt that they didn’t need to ‘set the gas’ so when they bought a petrol car they couldn’t drive them - they were stalling all the time in their car, crying and being extremely sad, they reported they ‘hated’ their car - which I found really sad. They were so excited to buy a car and then they couldn’t drive it. - I felt so sorry for them that I changed the cars I bought for this reason! I made the change years ago. In a petrol you need to set the gas to team it up with the biting point in a petrol car otherwise the chance of stalling is very high indeed (unless you are facing down hill or you are extremely slow pulling off…)
