As someone who didn’t grow up in a household with a car, I really appreciate how you clearly explain everything, without in any way insulting people who don’t know the basics.

Had my first driving lesson yesterday and my instructor couldn't believe it he thought I'd been driving for a while but I've been watching all your videos between two or three hours each day over the past month and took it all in so when I got in the car I knew exactly what to do and how to drive properly, he said I probably won't need any more than ten lessons to book in for my test, honestly guys if you know you're going to start learning to drive soon then spend a good amount of time each day watching these videos so you'll be prepared to when you have your first lesson, can't thank you enough Chris these videos have really helped me and will save me a lot of money on lessons

Took me long to get the hang of driving a manual. Almost gave up and changed to automatic, but stuck it out.
If you're learning to drive a stick and it's not coming easy, don't give up!! You'll get there. :)

Mate your gear shifting tutorial is one of the best ever on YouTube. Cheers 👍🏼

I used to watch your videos back in 2016 up to when I passed my test in January 2017. Your videos were a massive help and made everything a lot easier to understand! I’ve since also acquired my Class 2 HGV license and I now drive a lorry for a living! Keep up the great work!

[elisabetharnold]

Went from total panic at the thought of manual to feeling so confident because of this video! Thank you for making this content

[ricomerrell]

This is so awesome. I love how you keep repeating the process to ensure that the information is embedded firmly. Your calm delivery is the best!

[adityavijaybarari]

Didn't have a dad to teach me all these. Thanks man. gave me a good insight before my lessons

[melanieshaw]

Only started learning to drive last year. I'm finding these to be very useful and informative tutorials. I like how everything is explained in an 'easy to understand' way. I also like the fact that we can actually see the POV from the car, and what you are doing with the pedals and gear lever. I'm a visual learner and would say that I've learnt more from watching these videos than learning from books! Thank you for taking the time to make and share these videos on your channel!

[woolenhat]

After two months off from driving i feel like i needed to watch it. :-D

[avasluxurysforlessmore]

Best instructor ever! I’m learning so much more than I haven’t learned in my five lessons already.

[TayanaMcguinnez]

My first lesson went terrible but after watching this I understand were i went wrong..this is so helpful, i will keep watching for practice. Thanks

[silkcatgirl]

Thank you 🙏🙏 I just had my first ever driving lesson yesterday and it went horribly, it's very overwhelming and there's so much to remember. This video is helping me to get the hang of the order of things.

[rosemarieelizan]

You are a professional driver, you're commendable. I learned a lot from your videos. You're teaching safe driving. Keep up the good work and God will bless you more

[CouchOfPotatoes]

I was looking forward to learning the skill of driving a car (manual firstly) for beginners, and your content was very informative. I liked how you went on each point with examples and a good, stable camera feed. This helped make is so much clearer for me. I can't wait to enrol for my driver license once I master everything in the book and your videos!

[zachrennaker]

It’s been almost 4 years since I’ve drove a manual, great refresher.

[paulqadi]

Excellent video as always thank you Chris. As a fellow driving instructor with more than 38 years teaching experience I can highly recommend these videos, I share them to all my new pupils and it makes the learning experience so much easier for them.
Great to watch before a first lesson or as a recap after a lesson.
Thanks again

This guy is the best...I am 15 and I am learning car driving...Chris' videos helped me gain some important tips that my driving instructor is not so patient and willing to explain.

[MyKyle]

I have some many years ago, give up trying to learn to drive... because instructor by me kept repeating lessons on purpose to get more money out of me, so a was not progressing. But am now seeing these lessons put on YouTube, that if a start watching them... it will help me learn plenty to feel I can give it another shot at learning to drive, before spending actual cash out.... that this time round, I will know more than a did before, a lot more. These videos are brilliant, just brilliant !!.
