It's OK to lack confidence. I still lack confidence every now and then. I stall at least once a week. You get to a point where it's no longer a fear and it's actually quite funny.

This is what I hate about over bearing teachers; be it a driving instructor, your actual parent, a relative or a friend that constantly berates and scolds you whenever you stall, got a gear wrong, slowing down on an inclined road or going too fast at a speed bump etc. I mean, you really cant do much about it because you have to settle with what you have at the same time you really are eager to learn. This can be self defeating and belittling initially to new learners but try to develop a thick skin to let those harsh words they say pass through the other end of your ear and focus on what essence they are trying to tell you over and over. It cant be learned overnight, a week or even months, there are no time frames to be able to drive perfectly because learning capacity of a person are different - you just have to persevere

@@rdu239 Thank you for your amazing words of comfort. Two years ago I had a terrifying experience with a very shouty aggressive driving instructor who after just one hour of showing me how to drive very slowly on a straight road, took me up a steep incline with three sharp bends in it. I crapped myself and he went nuts at me and snatched the wheel out of my hand three times while I was driving and I freaked out. He yelled at me every time I made a mistake and after 6, 1 hour lessons I gave up and haven’t driven since. I’m still terrified of having the same experience with another instructor and am only just approaching the idea of learning after 3 years. These videos are so amazingly helpful and the instructor here really puts me at ease. He seems to understand we all make mistakes and is calmly helping us all to avoid problems. I wish I lived in Colchester or somewhere with a kind and patient instructor. It doesn’t help that I’m dyslexic either. It affects how quickly I learn. I do have a lot of dyslexic friends who drive and they are fine on the road. They all learned quite a while back and in different places not near to me so I can’t learn with their instructors. I’m so grateful you mentioned about having a thick skin. Really going to need one if I ever want to be a driver. I’m so glad I found this KZread channel.

@@SunnyBeetle1922 Honestly, don't let that put you back. Remember that much like you and I, driving instructors are people too so they're all different-- the majority of instructors aren't like that thankfully If you're still a bit reluctant, try and drive a parent/friend/sibling's car on learner insurance (they'd have to sit with you, my dad brought me an old Polo and he sat next to me, kept the car after passing). I did this alongside lessons with an instructor, but you don't necessarily have to. One thing Dad told me was this-- Instructors are going to help you pass your test, the real learning comes when you're out on the road and you gain experience on your own. My dad taught me nifty tips and tricks, my instructor was proud of my progress, I passed easy :)

I had to rush here after stalling almost 5 times in a row at a junction.. 🤦🏽‍♀️ I panicked way too much that’s why. Due to this I then forgot the gas and kept on lifting only the clutch without gas. thanks for this

Keep at it. Work it into your life. Go for a trip. Drive.

It can actually really impact life in later years. What if their partner dies before them. They'll be lost in more ways than one.

I love the humour mate, it cheers me up!!

No one talks about the way anxiety can negatively impact your driving, thanks for the words of encouragement! :) so very useful all of your videos have been

I always tell my students, to let me deal with the drivers behind and its important they focus on what they need to do. "It takes twice as long to stall and restart than it does to pull away slowly the first time."

That anxious driver part is literally me since I got my first car three weeks ago!! My instructor taught me to first lift the clutch and then add gas (except when I need to move off quickly) and the clutch in that car (Ford Ecosport) was so “strong” I must’ve relied on it way too much. My new car (Ford Fiesta) is way easier to stall but I’m learning slowly and at least don’t stall on the flat ground anymore :D

Happened to all of us who got a petrol car after driving diesels in driving school. Especially with a lot od schools teaching students to move off with just a clutch, as diesel engine has more torque than petrol + they usually boost up idle revs a bit more so it’s easier to move off with just clutch. Stupid, if u ask me

I had to pause the video for a bit until I've finished laughing. That was exactly my train of thoughts!! Bought my first car yesterday - a manual - and yay for that. Only problem is I've been driving my husband's automatic since I got my license 3 years ago. Approaching every traffic light on my way home: "please don't switch to red, please please please" and "please don't stall, please". I live in a country where it's all hills and very few flat areas. "Was that the smell of burned clutch?" I found confidence in the road test that I passed with flying colours, so I told myself "technically, I should remember SOMETHING!" - and I did not stall on my way home :)

Exactly at the times I feel like you can't get more creative and effective, you do. Brilliant Job, thank you for fitting so much into your job.

The confidence section is EXACTLY what I do! lmao! thx for the tips!

I was struggling so bad with stalling the car. Got super frustrated and googled “I keep stalling my manual” this video came up and that little exercise helped me so much to get going without stalling. Thank you so so much

This was the pep talk I needed! Now I know how to reduce the likelihood of stalling.

I've watched about 3 videos of yours and it has helped me so much as I am a new driver on the road. Your explains and real life scenarios really helped to related 😅

This is really helpful, thank you, and all your other videos. I am taking driving lessons in my early fifties and struggle with fear and lack of confidence. Your videos are really helping me. One thing I will say though - multi-tasking when you are a lot older is much more difficult!

I've gotten my license recently and I still have a bit of anxiety at busy roundabouts like you showed, you explained perfectly what new learners feel in their first drives. Thankfully my low power car forces me to push the gas pretty hard to start moving and I don't have this issue most of the time

Love this whole vid! That last one though. Stalling really never goes away no matte how good of a driver we are.

Thanks, this video is helping me. Just the little practice tips are so good, and knowing the anxiety we feel. You do amazing work and wish more instructors had your passion, understanding & empathy for teaching. I'm all the way in Ireland, but you've helped me greatly. Watching Emily's videos was so good. Like her, I lost confidence when messed up & didn't drive for a few weeks, but just knowing someone else is going through and we all make similar mistakes is helping. I can't thank you enough ❤

I just bought my first manual car (my first car ever really) and I have been binge watching all of these driver tip videos every night. They have helped me so much! THANK YOU!

You make an amazing instructor because you understand anxiety and how it cripples someone making them forget that they're capable of doing the thing. You don't mock or demean someone for something that is incredibly hard to control. Thank you Richard for being such an incredibly lovely human being. I wish we had instructors like you. I switched to a new car after getting my license in Germany and it was a painful process. Now I'm stalling in this sometimes because I don't realise that it needs more gas than the first one did.

thank you so much for this video. it's a really big help to new drivers like me. your videos are life-savers and i'm beyond grateful i found your account. again, thank you, i hope your vids will help more drivers, and i wish life is kind to you.

How good is this man? Your approach to teaching is on point. I think whatever you might teach, you would would be an excellent teacher. Thank you.

Thank you so much my guy,you are making driving easier,some driving instructors never tell us about that

I learn more from you than from my actual instructor. I literally just use his car not learning anything.

Everyone knows the trick is to watch all of your videos. Haven't stalled in months👌🏾 Love from the USA!

So relatable, you are reading my mind.. like you literally are a very great driving instructor coz you know what problem new drivers could face.

This video had me laughing so hard LOL! I am learning to drive my manual Subaru and it's been so challenging! The information presented was immensely helpful and humorous (which helps us newbies, with MASSIVE anxiety.) I'll probably re-watch a few times so I can go practice. Thanks for the comprehensive advice! :)

So so so sooooo helpful! Thank you! I’ve been practicing the skills, but I’m lacking the confidence to go into traffic or main roads. I literally sit there and think “I can’t go there, the street is on a hill” or something like that. Your portion about anxiety helped me so much! The times I have taken it out and haven’t stalled have all been times when I’ve been slow and mindful and purposeful. Whenever I rush, I stall!

First driving lesson in over a year tomorrow due to COVID, yours vids have really helped filling in the lost time, thank you! :)

Thank you so much for these videos! I watched and practiced last night and I did not stall once going to work this morning! Thank you! -from a desert state in the US.

I'm 16 and I drive since i was 14..always with my father near me..I was ignoring my mistakes and you have taught me a lot man..you the best💯

This is so useful, in my lessons when approaching a roundabout or a junction I always try to go as slow as possible without completing stopping because I find moving off and the clutch so difficult. I normally always jolt forward fast so it’s harder to control or I stall from a stop position. But all this time I was just not putting gas on 🤦🏻‍♂️😂 Edit. Had a lesson today and still messed it up because my instructor had a new car and then clutch/brake was so delicate compared to the other car

Your videos are SO great and definitely helped me pass my test. Watching this one now as I keep stalling my new Aygo as the biting point is ridiculously high. But yes, I’m the one with that little voice worrying about everything!

i love how confident he is talking while driving whenever i drive i always never talk unless the car is at a stop

I always used to stall on hill starts years ago because my instructor taught me to bring the clutch up to the biting point before applying gas. He was mostly very good but your approach of gas first, then clutch up is far more reliable. Thanks for your videos, they're making me a much better driver.

KZread now has a $thanks button that allows you to make a donation. I will need to donate too. These videos have helped me so much. I am in the US, and manual transmission lessons are very hard to find. My late husband's friend taught me in car for about 5 hours over 4 lessons, and I have just been practicing by myself everyday and watching these videos.

I'm learning to drive in a manual diesel. I've been taught to just use the clutch to set off. Works fine, but is a little slow sometimes. That round about clip in the lack of confidence part was spot on. I worry that I can't set off with a decent speed to make it safely into the bigger roundabouts, although I'm getting better with this.

You have to take large opportunities at junctions and gradually take smaller ones as your skill improves. If you try to take small opportunities before you have the skill you will knock your confidence.

Damn I remember watching bruhs videos obsessively before I got my ride last year...I had my driver's license but just need confidence and after watching a lot of your videos and practicing, I honestly got smooth after 2 weeks of buying my car. I owe a lot of that to this great fella! 👍 💯

These videos are so helpful I watch them several times a week. I really want to pass my test 🤞

9:39 caught me off guard 🐔. Great vid! 😁

New learner driver here with zero driving experience. Had started few hours of lessons already but the previous was really nerve-wrecking! Anxiety is real. This video is really helpful. Confidence and anxiety issues suck! Thank you for sharing this video! 🙌🏻

It'll get easier, don't worry! It's insane the amount of growth in confidence you will see as you progress through your lessons. However, I only think one can become fully confident about 6-12 months after you pass.

I have bad anxiety as well you just have to keep on practicing if you haven’t gotten it yet. I had make reservations for my test and the closest I could get it was 2 months away and those two months were the longest of my life but the time came and I took the test and passed it first try

I always struggled with the clutch and im now 36 doing manual lessons. so old dog new tricks come to mind. But your explanation on holding the clutch i beleive will help me massively thank you! Mainly my confidence and anxiety wreck me when driving my instructors car. But iv got my own and im learning with another insured drived and im fine on the roads, its an automatic tho lol so no clutch anxiety. Fingers crossed next lesson this video will help me get over it, thank you once again

Driving instructor who with his experience became Driving psychologist, excellent video, God bless, keep up the good work. Amazing stuff.

Hey man make a video about driving in Reverse, how to look the mirrors and when to steer the steering wheel.

These lessons have to be the best on KZread !!

9:39 I LOVE IT! You're so funny!

"How to never stall a manual car again" Me, an intellectual: Floor the throttle

I'm so glad I found this channel

Today my car stalled 😅😅at steep uphill..I stranded for few minutes and one kind gentleman bro came to help me to move my car from that point. 😅 There are sweet ppl also out there..keep practicing..Cheers🎉

I just got my first car (Peugeot 107) after getting my license 3 years ago. I remember being super confident in the car I learnt in, with my instructor telling me to just use the clutch to move from a standstill instead of adding gas, but with my car I have to add gas and it keeps catching me out because I rev too hard. And it's hard for me to find the bite point in the car. I tried driving my car today for the first time since I bought it and I couldn't even pull out of the drive! Then when I reversed, I couldn't go as far back as I wanted. Luckily my dad gave me a little lesson and I was better, but I'm still having trouble moving from a standstill. This gets particularly bad in hill starts, because when I think I've hit the bite point and take the handbrake off, I start rolling back and that scares the crap out of me. When I'm already in motion, I'm pretty good. Ultimately, starting from a standstill is my main issue right now. Parking would be second. Your videos are helping me a bunch though my friend! Thank you Richard! PS. You look a lot like another KZreadr I like, called Graenolf. Look him up!

I just got a car after 3 years too, I've got a bit of anxiety driving an older petrol car after learning in a diesel. It's an adjustment to say the least. It's hard not to try and keep up with the other drivers on the road because of the pressure but I have to keep reminding myself to take it easy. I stalled today at traffic lights and had to put the hazards on😩the driver behind me honked and sped past. I just want to be more confident on the road already.

@@wtf12640 I definitely understand how you feel, I think I learned in a diesel, where I could use the clutch alone to move off. It's so annoying when you stall, it keeps happening to me because I'm not used to having to apply gas 😭 I feel you about wanting to become confident quickly 😭
