How To Do Hill Starts Without Rolling Back or Stalling | Traffic Lights

Hill starts can be quite scary when first learning to drive a manual / stick shift car and with the added pressure of dealing with traffic lights too. Practicing hill starts in a manual / stick shift car during your driving lessons is definitely recommended. Stalling and rolling back on an uphill can happen unless you're confident with the controls of the car. You'll need good use of the accelerator and perfect at clutch control.

In this video we have a look at how to do hill starts easily on a quiet road and turning right at traffic lights on a busy crossroads.

Thank you very much for watching our video and we REALLY hope it helps with your driving.

hill starts at a traffic light . my worst nightmare.

[milos]

My heart pumps like crazy just from looking at you stopping on a hill.

The reason why I don't want to drive stick shift is because here in the USA drivers will honk in about 0.0001 seconds since they assume you have an automatic.

[sheldoncooper]

as a noob manual driver this intersection gives me anxiety.

Passed driving test 7 months ago but still watch these. You never stop learning 😀

[BOMBON]

NOW this is how an uphill video should be explained. Great job mate!

[daysago]

If I had a teacher like you I would have been a much better driver. In my country most of the drivers wouldn't have passed a driving test in the UK.

*Clutch Bitting Point* is all you need to remember. Thank you!

[BN]

This is a good technique for learning how to drive as well as making it less stressful when starting on a hill for daily driving, even more experienced drivers. However, if you are a beginner, at some point, you should put some time into learning how to get moving on a hill without using the ebrake. It really helps you master finding the bite point on your clutch quickly, which is a great skill to have. I don't ever need to use the ebrake when starting on a hill anymore, unless I have a lot of people in the car and there is a car very close behind me, in which I don't want my passengers to freak out. For most situations, you can keep your right foot on the brake pedal and release the clutch slowly until you feel/hear it on the biting point, then just move your right foot from the brake pedal over to the gas pedal and that works really well too.

This guy's a legend. I'm learning to become a driving instructor and he makes everything so easy to follow and apply to how I might teach a learner.

Hi Chris! Passed my driving on my second attempt on June 29th 2017. Really helped watching your videos and all the manoeuvres you covered for us learners. I'm still watching  your videos even though I passed. You never stop learning no matter what situation you're in. Keep it up, mate 👍

Passed the drive test 5 months ago but hillstart is my difficulty, with this viideo i've learn a lot. Thanks..

[coolio]

Living in North Lincoln, I had to learn hill starts very quickly when I learnt to drive as you descent from 75 metres to 20 metres above sea level in about 1 minute of driving. So glad though as stood me in good stead not to be afraid of going up and down hills.
