A) Night time driving, for the first time.
B) Started getting more and more tired as the lesson went on.
How many lessons have you had so far?
I think that was around 7 or 8. I believe I've had around 10-11 hours now though.Quote:

It's correct to get it into 5th as soon as you can, right? :whistle:
My Grandad also ALWAYS puts the handbrake on when he stops. Even if it's just for a few seconds. Not sure if it's because of his knees (they're fucked basically) or whether it's better to do that? I find holding the clutch and brake down so tedious. I'd rather just put the handbrake on. :-/

Not always, like on a slight hill at 50 mph alot of cars will struggle you want to try and keep the revs between 2500 to 3000rpm when going along normaly. higher revs around 3500rpm are good for steeper hills. laboring a car is not good and sound like crap toQuote:

Hello avariwan.
Not necessarily.Quote:

Yeah, using the handbrake is good for hill starts........you use neutral and the main brakes while waiting for lights (this is in case somebody hits you.....the car won't move as far using the main brakes, plus: brake lights).
You shouldn't always use the handbrake though......it's generally not as strong as the main brakes.
Whatever you do don't ride the clutch, women do that all the time and it wears it out more quickly :ugh:
The only bad points I got when getting my licence was for over-use of gears.......changing down through all of them (using the engine as a brake as well as the actual brakes) :lol
I don't ride the clutch, I used to when I was first driving, but I just put my foot back to the deadpanel or whatever it's called automatically now. It's cool.
When my Grandad stops, if it's longer than say 5 seconds, handbrake goes on. I imagine it's because of his worn out knees though.
No nothing else. ^_^Quote:

Only time he ever uses it is when he stops the car and leaves it running :wacko:
A book how out dated :spam1:Quote:
