My driving instructor went nuts at me when I popped the car into neutral at the traffic lights due to the idea of the rear ending scenario. In contrast, we were told not to keep our foot on the brake if we’re stopped but instead put the handbrake on.
So I’m guessing hill starts aren’t a compulsory thing you have to learn as part of your test in the US?
You don’t even have to take the driving test in a manual. Most people take the test in an automatic. That’s why we call a manual transmission an “anti-theft device” here. 90% of people cannot drive one, period.
One problem is where I’m from I got docked points on my driving test and ended up failing due to putting it in neutral at red lights. Told the guy it’s bullshit it wears out my clutch fast but he didn’t care.
Very nice video, and useful content, even if it’s what you learn in a driving school in here :D
Try not to rest your hand in a really big traffic. :) impossible.
Still waiting for the first youtuber who raises 5 points in 8 minutes, to list the darn 5 points out so I don’t need to waste time and maybe I get something out of it rather than nothing when I stop watching it.
Jk, I watched it.
Right away, this I can see happening with directly linked transmissions, more so RWD cars where the shifter is a direct input into the transmission. I can see putting some sort of downward pressure onto the shifter has some sort of effect. In FWD and Some AWD cards (or all?) they almost always have a linkage that goes from the shifter, to the transmission. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I see little to no effects with the linkage since the shifter is sitting on a solid bracket.
anyone knows why no.4 (no full throttle at high gear+low revs) ?!
In Germany, we actually learn that wrong way of stopping at a hill in driving school, as it’s said to be much safer than the handbrake-version (or the automatic version on cars without a classic handbrake).
Clutch-holding on a hill has its place, but if you’re on a daily commute, you have to know it WILL wear your clutch out. It should be the exception rather than the norm.
the third reason, there’s a fourth thing you can do, just accelerate to like 6k revs and get out doing a burnout, because race car
