I'm kinda impressed that I learned to do this EXACTLY the way he describes all on my own by having a standard for my first car and no one really to help me. I pretty much had figure it all out on my own.

If you were my math , science , physics, chemistry, history,geography teacher i swear i would have been the first in my class .

Omg nobody told me about these details of gas + clutch pedals, so I was always confused when my instructor told me to add gas every time when I needed to move just a little bit because I thought I'd go too fast by adding gas! It's so important to know details like that to understand how to really control the car. Richard, you are the best!!!

Saaaaaaame now I finally understand😭😭😭

The note about the gas not controlling the speed was REALLY helpful. As I'm learning I have been really reluctant to up the gas when doing manoeuvres in case I shoot forwards. This is soo good to know!

Watching this and just now learning about the ECU. My instructor teaches me in a Kia Picanto that has an ECU, but I just bought my first car which is an '03 KA that most likely doesn't. Really glad I clicked on this

I really like your teaching style! Your really informative, pick up on common errors and provide solutions and alternatives in a really simple way. I cant wait to watch the rest of your videos now. Cheers x

I'm 20 and I've just got my first manual too I got a 2004 jetta tdi and I love driving manual and ive only drove manual for like a week. And yeah people look at me like something is wrong with my car when I have a hard shift every now and then.

This is exactly what nobody ever explained to me ,I passed the test(!?) ,got my licence and didn't drive for 18 years because I knew that I coudn't control the car at all.People say that I lack practise and I do,but also I was not told any of these things .I was paying for my lessons but it's expected to understand this on instinct. Thanks for the information.😃

The point about the heel on the floor was SO helpful, my first instructor didn't explain it to me thoroughly soI always keep my heel on the floor trying to find the bite and the pedal position slips just as you explained - I only just realised from your explanation why this was happening!

You're absolutely amazing !!! I'm from India, and learning clutch control is so much essential here because of extreme traffic density. I watched your video at least 4-5 times and practiced clutch control which had immensely helped me gaining accuracy and command over it. Just like you said, lifting the clutch the same height as the thickness of a schilling gets the job done. I felt so related as I also used to make the same mistake of using it in reverse direction. Thanks a lot again for making this video.

Just got my first manual, C6 vette and this helped SOOO much with slow speeds. I feel like I subconsciously understood this concept but wasn’t really putting it into practice. Just spent an hour in the parking lot practicing crawling and got a lot better really quickly. Thanks man!

Mr Fanders I can't thank you enough. I've been struggling with moving slowly for quite some time (totally new driver) and your video really helped. I used the clutch like you said instead of pressing on the gas and it was like magic was happening. I couldn't believe it. Again thank you so much for this video🔥🔥🔥

I love this guy I just got a 5 speed manual 2014 Scooby WRX a few months ago and I already intuitively learned a lot of these things just from practice but he has a lot of little tips that I have absorbed into my memory banks. Super helpful dude. And my other car is an automatic with paddle shifters, so I am able to take my time to learn and also practicing when to shift with my paddle shifters so I don't waste too much gas in the high RPMs in the WRX, which is a bit of a gas guzzler especially with the mods on there.

this video was a GODSEND. thank you so much my guy 🙏🏾

New driver here, about 2 months in, learned Manual as a first time driver and I just want to say, learning Clutch control (Pretty much everything he mentioned here) is when I fully acknowledged the fact that I truly know how to drive manual. My car has an ECU, but I barely rely on it. Knowing how to do Clutch control to slow down and speed up is useful for almost anything. In any clutch scenario (Pun intended) like tight turns or going uphill and suddenly encountering something on your way up, using the clutch to control your speed is super helpful. Not to mention that in bumper-to-bumper traffic or stop lights this helps you get faster starts than doing Clutch-bite-point first, relying on the ECU to accelerate then adding gas later. This is 100% an essential skill for any manual driver, new or old, ECU or no ECU.

Awesome video, much better and clearer explanation than the one my instructor gave me!

This guy is the best teacher on KZread.

I love your videos mate they're vey detailed and helpful,thanks and keep up your great work.

👍👍 Thank you very much for this. Very helpful! I did all the common mistakes you've mentioned during my last lesson and want to improve. 1. Prevent the clutch moving to the middle arch of foot and keep it steady by positioning the left heel on the floor once at bite point. 2. Moving the clutch: Up=faster, Down=slower 3. You can control the speed with clutch instead of gas. Im taking down notes! 📝

This was hugely helpful. I was lifting the clutch all the way off because I didn't understand that at that low of a speed holding it at the bite point really won't damage the clutch

Best explanation ever for clutch control. Thank you

Conquer Driving is the best channel for beginners to understand how to handle the car. Well, cars are categorized as with manual or automatic transmission, but as I watch these series I came to conclusion that cars are with the clutch, and without a clutch, because this part of the car really plays the main role I guess. Thanks a lot for awesome videos Conquer Driving. This channel is the best!

Just had the most embarrassing driving lesson of my journey. I was practising manouevers and my car kept accelerating even though my foot was nice and steady on the clutch. This video is a lifesaver! I will try to implement the advice. My driving instructor did not tell me what to do to control the car better. All she said was “you are losing control a lot today” and i kept asking is it because I am doing xyz? And she never told me what exactly is the problem. First 1 minute of this video is exactly what was happening during my lesson. I am glad to know I am not alone!

Really great info as always. I learned this the hard way cause I have a very tight parking space. Also my Mustang gives me alotta help. It actually would scare me cause my Pony wants to run!!!! 🐎

I passed my test with a few minors on 3rd of March just before lock down. I didn't get a chance to drive or buy a car until recently. I have been feeling anxious about driving my car and no one understands, everyone keeps telling me to just drive my car and i couldn't explain why i feel anxious. I just know i cant control my car and you explained perfectly in the few minutes in the beginning of the video! Hopefully going to practice this now. Thank you.

I recommend refresher lessons. If you pass the test and don't use the skill it will fade quickly. It's OK to have a break from driving when you have already been driving for a number of years because the skill will stick. But if you just learnt it and never used it you will forget it.

Thanks keep it up bro

Just watching this having driven into a garage door on an uphill parking spot this evening - better late than never!

Very helpful vid. Exactly what I was looking for. Just started learning and having trouble at junctions as cars are parked so close that I've no view of any oncoming traffic. I need to know how to "creep" forward a little before driving off. Thanks. Ray.

Really good video Richard. This is something I have noticed since passing my test and trying a different car. In my examiner's car, I could do manouvres and go very slowly purely just by using the clutch and no gas from my input. I assumed this was in all cars but quickly found out this is not the case! 😂 I always use gas then clutch in every other aspect, I just thought when going very slowly you could just use the clutch but I now know this isn't a universal thing.

I really wanted to hear what you will tell us about keeping slow and I’m not disappointed. My instructor told me a bit different approach - I learn in a car which doesn’t required extra gas at the start, so I’ve been told to keep one foot and the clutch and second one on the brake. Fully lock the wheel, find the bite point and slowly release the brake, holding the clutch steady and moving the wheel - basic rule is “fast hands, slow feet”. Well, it works as recently I am getting better with angle start, but... I keep in my mind that very important point you remind us all the time - to use some gas before finding the bite point. However it is easy to forgot about it, especially that our car even release the hand brake for me 😳 I’ve got a feeling that after passing my test and having my own car I’ll have to learn some things all over again as I’ll have different habits... unless I’ll buy similar car 😂 but I really don’t want to be a lazy driver from the other side 😉
