Just tried driving for the first time yesterday and stalled several times - it knocked my confidence but this helped me to figure out what I was doing wrong! Thank you!

[DanLewis]

Spend a decade putting off learning to drive because I have zero clue about clutch control.. then this video makes it look so easy

[sunnytember]

Clutch biting 12:08 demonstration that's what i was looking for, not too much or less speed but just enough control that you need when approaching junctions. Thanks.

Useful driving video for Slow moving, Stop and start techniques. Best explained.Thanks

[lindamtare]

Well explained. Wish all instructors could teach like this. Instead of rushing a learner to drive, they need to learn to master clutch control

The bonus video was very cool. No need to use the break or the gas pedal. The clutch does everything :)
Thanks guys for sharing . I enjoy all the videos

I do LOVE clutch control, I explain it as the car “sits up” when it’s waiting to go 😂 🤷🏼‍♀️

Very helpful thank you. I watched the video all the way through to the end. Looking forward to watching your other videos now.

My advice is take it easy dont be in a rush to lift the clutch up and dont be afraid to use it, it basically helps slows the car with the brake and with accelerator helps speed the car up and changes gear. I have had 3 lessons and stalled once (I thought Id be rubbish) but learnt quickly not to lift it fully quickly. You hear a change and the front of car rises at biting point try to make sure your heel is on floor as more control, I guess its just practice the more you use the pedals the more you get used to them so practice as much as possible and dont be afraid to make mistakes on quiet roads.
