This is the way I only can do it, my car also have electric hand break. I did my test 18 years ago, I wouldn’t be able to do it with handled hand break 😞I just applied to be a driving instructor 😂

[T.K.]

on my Diesel, with an odd bite point to where its very high.

You can test it by stepping on the brake and finding that bite point by lifting the clutch there is a sweet spot where its in bite point, no gas no brake pedal or park brake and the car don't roll back and don't stall either (has something to do with Diesel engine having more lower end torque, if you do this on petrol it will most likely stall unless you are quickly adding gas). I guess you can say you are riding the clutch briefly. As doing it for too long will make your clutch life go low. And once you add gas then you can slowly release the clutch further until you can safely go without stalling.

Nice video 😊
I'm not a learner but I would like to come along and do a commentary drive if I could make it lol.

But when I lower the clutch to slow down the gas pedal do I have to press it?
