Love this, definitely need to stop over revving everytime i pause briefly on a hill. People must think i’m trying to wheelspin because i’m adding too much gas in fear of stalling

If driving a normal hand brake car the the revs and clutch balance depends on the incline (steepness) of the hill. things have changed since i learnt to drive .... i'm now teaching my son and we repeat hill starts over and over again as well as reversing up hills, when you master the control of clutch and accelerator driving is so much easier. Nice vid

I’m learning in a manual handbrake but never used it on hills, I’ve naturally just done it the way Francis does.

[itslukechen]

does the second method work on petrol cars? I feel like i will stall easily

[lauriepalmer]

I'm learning in a fiesta '10 I don't know how to use a electronic handbrake, my hubby's car has one and I stall it all the time!

[angelngk]

I dont understand, so do i use the 2nd method if I have an auto handbrake?? I passed my test 6 months ago and I am still really scared of starting uphill. sometime I move off smoothy but most of the time I stall and stucked in the mid of the road. I don't know what did I do right or wrong

[colettemikaelson]

Thank you guys for this video, its really helpful. Ive learned in and only ever driven with a manual handbrake but might be looking at a newer car with electronic handbrake and the one thing that makes me nervous about it is the hill starts lol I live in a pretty hilly area and a manual handbrake is so handy for the steep hill starts. I didn't want to change cars and then stall on a hill haha embarrassing.

My 1st instructor had switch hand break… she kept telling me to use it so I won’t roll back, but in my car it’s a manual hand break (it’s 2022 car too haha).
But in my current instructors car, he has a manual so I know feel more confident on hills, thankfully😂
Hope that all makes sense!!

[s.beezyprince]

You don’t need the handbrake. Just hold the brake find the biting point then after come off the brake and the car will won’t roll back as long as you hold the bite from there use gas

[sharonginger]

My husband is an Arsenal supporter says my chinchilla Jasmine is an Arsenal supporter. Yeah I totally agree with what you said of driving

[Cezzagirl]

This was me when I passed! My instructor had an electronic and my car now has a manual one. It made me so anxious when I did drive and made me not want to drive tbh :(

[marineaadams]

Hill assist is a nightmare when I am teaching

[lindsey]

Older video but this has helped me not feel so bad😅 My instructors car is automatic handbrake and she doesn’t teach using the clutch to hold the car, so now practicing in my partners car with a manual handbrake plus high biting point I’m really struggling which is putting me off going out because I’m terrified I’ll roll back into a car behind or over rev and fly out of a junction because I struggle getting his bite quickly which makes me feel more rushed that I end up coming off too early/quickly.
With instructor I’m doing dual carriageways, country roads, complicated roundabouts etc fairly confidently contrast to being a nervous wreck in an industrial estate struggling with basics in my partners car😫🥲

[Guvness]

It's not occurred to me that instructor car has auto handbrake button and my car probably won't. Darn posh bsm cars! More lessons for me then 💸

The 2nd method taught by francis isn't something you'll to be to do in every car.

Personally, I'd recommend Francis keeping his hands on the steering wheel rather than talking with your hands. Be cautious if a kid runs out whilst filming because your attention certainly isn't on the road. It's been proven filming yourself like this, and talking to the camera is not good. Shannon unfortunately also talked with her hands and kept looking away from the road. Great video otherwise. The positivity of explanation was very good.
