How To Start And Stop A Car 

stop and starting is harder than actually driving a car lol

I find moving off the most difficult thing especially at traffic lights or on hills because I'm sooo slow at finding the bite and getting enough gas

One of the greatest RU-vid vids ever created 10/10

I have my second attempt at a driving test on the 12th of December I have been having lessons for over 18 months! I can not believe it! I better pass this time or I am going to be bankrupt! This helps me to stick it in my mind. Thank you x x x

done my first driving lesson yesterday.! loved it cant wait to do it again.! ( i did this in the vid )

He looks bewildered when he's doing his checks :') Really helpful video, very clear - although showing the gear stick upside down had me completely thrown

Good video, tks for the upload, this will be useful for many of us.

Best video ever for beginners.... It was absolutely to the point ...

Valuable information

Haha, i like the part at @ 0:26 where the guy is like "Yeah thats right, i'm a car instructer"

So find the biting point, then look in all mirrors? So burning the clutch is a thing they teach.

The best thing to do is first you release the clutch till you feel a movement thing press the gas slightly and release the less than a centimeter so that the friction plate will create a better friction and release the pedal when you feel both the friction plate are rotating at the same speed. It feels complecated but practice can make you perfect. BEST OF LUCK.

I don't have the luxury of driving a little Volkswagen like this gentleman. My dad is teaching me to drive in a 1999 GMC Suburban with a 350 V8 in it. The car is huge and on top of that the engine lurches like it wants to eat the curb. If I pushed the pedals as hard as this guy I'd start off the line like a drag car and stop with my head beeping the horn. Be grateful you guys get to learn in your mom's Volvo or Kia lol.

In my first lesson I scraped the curb quite a bit, it's hard to get used to the dimensions of the car.

Very useful Explained very smoothly 👍😉😉

I've been driving a stick for all of 3 months now. It's pretty simple. Revving and "setting the gas" are the same thing. Higher RPM during clutch and into gear will inevitable wear your clutch and bit the teeth of your gear very harshly.

sounds like the mymaths voice over lol

240p, we meet again!

Nearly a million viewers. Congratulations!

@LastXdeth The clutch isn't just used in European cars its the pedal that is used when changing gears in a manual (stick) car. Pushing it down means that two plates are disconnected and therefore you can change gear without stalling the car or crunching the gears. Its the mean part of a real car.

I'm not sure of the location of the majority of the users responding to this clip, but i can say that America surely could use this kind of information. Most people here in Texas are extremely over-zealous about their driving. Most are probably unaware of this simple technique. Great video.

@ikilleduku in driving school i learned it that way: brake (no clutch pedal yet) and only if the car is going on low rpm (so that the car wont stall) then u press clutch but it wont make a difference actually, just the way you like it more.

My first time in a car i stalled it 7 times in a row... i SUCK at driving.

video is informative. But it will be very good and it will helpful when, u show the gear, clutch and accelerator functionality.

im really struggling at the mo with my driving. i can do the whole slow down thing, but wen i get ready to go again i always stall. this is reason why i hate stopping and starting at traffic lights. i end up with a big line of traffic behind me. man my driving sucks :(

best way ive found is to get the passengers out and push - smoothest start ever

Where's step 5 where the police pull him over for driving while black?

My Toyota Matrix has an "drive-by-wire" gas pedal. So there's a small delay before gas is applied or let off. It's the hardest to get used to with the clutch.

@Stealthmuiz actually driving on left was the original way of driving, even the U.S used to drive on the left.

Brilliant

@ikilleduku If you know you need to stop. Judge the distance, put it neutral and simply brake w/o using the clutch. If its a redlight (and traffic permits) go to neutral and slowly come up to the redlight. It could turn green. When it does, match RPMs and shift into the necessary gear. Saves gas bc you keep momentum and dont fully stop

@se11001 If you're parking on a flat surface, it is not necessary to put in the gears. It is always a good habbit to use the handbrakes everytime you park. However, when parking on an inclined, it is always safe to park in a gear. When parking uphill, park in 1st gear. When parking downhill, use park in reverse gear.

Maybe you were kiddin but how is this common sense? If you are someone who has never driven a car before and is thinking of learning, this is a pretty good instructional video. Why is everyone bad-mouthing it!?

The way he looks round the car like he heard gun shots lool

GOOD SERVICE

Happy to get this video, thank you

@kaabidabar Not really, that's the best way to change gear.To shift into 3rd and 4th your hand should be on the top of the gear stick and to shift into 5th, it should be on the left side of the stick. It means that you're less likely to select the wrong gear.

amazing it was very carefully drive and very smooth I liked thanks.

@JDMxTurbo all depends how powerful your engine is, you may be able to do it in second or you may need to go back into first gear, but if you're still moving when you wanna start going again just hit the gas pedal lol if the car starts jumping/shuddering - clutch in - select lower gear - clutch to biting point - plenty of gas. Kind of lol

I failed my license test today because I forgot to turn off the car lmao 😪

Nice information

@DanishHll they forgot to say about it, but it was on :) any way, a bit creapy way to start, couse you dont have to rev up, to feel when the clutch bites, it starts even when you push the acspedal after the clutch is "on"... even when the road is slighty up, when you stop, you push the brakes, when you have to start put in 1st, let clutch bite, brakes off, the car stays in place and then you can rev up, clutch off, and bye bye... on a diesel car its much easyer, ive done it with getz 1.3 :)

useful for smooth starting and driving but it will wear out the clutch. this is called granny shifting

Good demo Thanks a lot

Gary Lamb is a fucking boss

0:26 dat pose lmao

I only meant for people who have never learned to drive a manual. I have a manual and 2 automatics and believe me my automatic supercharged Toyota is a blast to drive. :)

I remember watching these months ago, stressing about my test! I passed in may, feels strange that I'll never need to learn this shit again.. xD

Very helpful .Thanks for the add.

@MusiDGenius easiest way to brake is firstly change the gear to neutral and then brake like normal, like you would with an automatic transmission.

helpful, thanks

@elasolezito yup. 1st gear if on a hill with the nose pointing up, reverse if on a hill with the nose pointing down.

good tutorial....helpful

Nice car, what brand is it? Couldnt see clearly.

you saved our lives man

turn on the engine,press clutch put it in first,rev it up to 5000 rpm and let the clutch and you will get a nice smooth start

The KEY process

Lol i find it hard to park near the curb i always get too close or too far :(

@TheHenryTown Or don't apply enough gas, especially with petrol cars and also on hill starts.

@Curtis Lake the bbc are making new episodes there going to be called hooligans island. basicly richie and eddy stuck on a dessert island

Nice referance!, Haha, what a great programme, such a shame that is no new episodes! :)

good tips

@jakeus123 in the US, u can decide to learn manual or automatic.

i find newer cars to be alot more difficult because the clutch seems a lot stiffer. My dad teches me in his Fiesta ST which is kinda too fast for a learning car, and i find it very difficult. When teaches me in my mums Fiat Punto which is 8 years older, the clutch is smoother and softer so it is easier to set off smoothly rather than "kangarooing".

Basically you use your feet to control the steering wheel and indicators and you use a brick for the accelarator Meanwhile you can get changed in the car or brush your teeth too as Mr.Bean did when he was running late for his dentist appointment. I have my first driving lesson tomorrow, can't wait to show off my skill! *thumbs up!*

Like driving an automatic needs an video like this, its easy mode, manual is for men

2:54 leave it in the 1st gear, works as a second brake am i right ?

caur and raud hahah cracked me up!

Simple and smart video

i love how they talk to you as if your a 5 year old kid with learning difficulties

This was really helpful thank you

If you like to have good control over the torque of the car you do not drive automatic ones

3:45 - Gonna get some good ol' fashion cola!

The engine needs not, and should not be reving until the clutch comes up to the friction point. Ideally, it shouldn't rev up until the clutch pedal is completely out. Don't take my word for it, go search some truck driving videos on youtube and see how it's done professionally. Also, notice the dude lurched backward as the car comes to a stop. A smooth driver eases off of the brake as the car comes to a stop.

Is it not common practice in UK to leave the car in first gear when parking? Just asking?

helpful video , thanks

0:29 hardest mixtape cover

hehe call that small? in france we have roads way worse than that! but you get used to it in fact i can go flat out round really windy roads but i cant really hold a straight line on a motorway lol

This might sound dumb but only had a couple of lessons - when leaving at traffic lights and general pulling into roads after stopping, do you put the clutch in, accelerate and find bite the same way as this?

I've had 3 Subaru Impreza STI's and 1 legacy, amazing cars.

thanks man that i mean this video was awesome realy it ws awsome it teached me the basics

They do be overcomplicating everything 😂😂 just check and pull out bro 😂😂

@tweedieHD No, it's British English. Scots share the same dialect. Anyways, it's an etymologically correct spelling, as it comes form the French "manœuvre".

key to the smooth start and stop is to buy an automatic transmission :D

i went for a joyride and i got scared because the radio wouldn’t turn off, just realized i needed to open and close the door lmfao

@elasolezito You can test it with the engine off. Shift into 1st on a small hill and lift the clutch up. Release the handbrake and it shouldn't move. It's pretty awesome LOL.

Surely you should always indicate... why would you not?

Biting point is crucial!

@DynastyPercussion The car in the vid is a Vauxhall (Opel) Corsa.

Come and drive in Cordillera, Philippines. YOu will become expert.

@joelparker13 Yeah, I asked my dad yesterday and he said it puts the car into neutral so you can change gears. Thanks for informing me!

@AssKicker2k9 No it is not bad, but every car is different so that technique might not work for other cars and work for some. What you described I think might work for small cars, heavier cars will need some modifying. Just keep practicing and have fun.

I didn't mind that commercial in the beging it was kinda coll :D

Helpful thank you.

Thats a great way to burn the clutch and burn gas at the same time. I pop the clutch in every gear, and i get over 200,000 miles on my clutch.

This thumbnail looks really good

Heplful,thank you

keep your heels on the floor, kind of obvious but still, i think its a lot easier to estimate the biting point when working with your feets angles instead of hovering your feet in the air, in case somebody does that (im not a professional, only had license for 2 years, just a tip)

@JDMxTurbo Lower gear. If you've completely stopped then first.

You drive on the wrong side! And in UK, Do you yield to the left or still right??
