    Class lesson, Richard! I wish we had such pleasant and meticulous tutors in Hungary – maybe my partner wouldn't be terrified of driving.
  • @Jackmawer
    It's so lovely to follow Emily's journey, I'm thankful to her for sharing her experience and it helps me a lot as a learner seeing a different perspective
  • @samurai1597
    Emily has gotten so much better with her clutch control, the progress is really good!
  • @Valmerix
    I struggled a lot with this when learning even though my learner car had hill assist, now I don't struggle at all without assist. Definitely one of the scarier parts of learning when you're on a hill and there's an expensive looking car a foot behind you on a steep incline.
  • Anyone else notice Emily doing the little salute with Richard at the end? 😂
  • @epana3412
    My (ex) instructor didn’t take me through hill starts the way you have beautifully done. She just threw me in the deep end and was shocked to see me roll back/stall so much out of panic. Not to mention she had terrible arthritis so every time I made the car jerk she would cry out in pain, making me feel terrible. Wish I had had an instructor like you to teach me manual!
  • 3 solid years of driving experience and I never knew or noticed that pushing the footbrake hard could help release the handbrake... Thanks for teaching even us experienced drivers how to drive better. Keep up the good work, Rich! :)

    I drive for the past 12 years... i don't know what i am doing in this channel but i love it.
  • @walkingpizza1796
    The synced chrio at the end is AMAZING! really proud of Emilys progression well done Richard!
  • @karzo222
    I passed my test today with 3 minors. I've been following your videos ever since I passed my theory test. Really appreciate the effort behind each of them. They were really helpful.
  • @yasminshaikh439
    I wish I was in Colchester and was able to take lesson from you Richard. Every time my call rolls back on a hill my instructor only yells “Don’t let the car roll back.. DO YOU GET THAT!” And it panics me even more 😢
  • If this instructor was in my local area I would be ringing up for a lesson his information and knowledge is spot on
  • @tekniro6204
    i love emilys confidence, really nice to see her back on the channel!
  • @azer9237
    10 mins in and can already tell this entire video can effectively teach the basics of clutch control on hills. Love your vids man, 100% helped me pass
  • @jinx20001
    ive been driving over 20 years myself and yet im drawn to this channel so much recently, its good to see somebody with your attitude and knowledge enjoying sharing that knowledge and the young lady is clearly progressing very well under your tuition. I find im watching the video's and im jumping ahead saying to myself why has he not told her this or that and 30 seconds later you say what i was thinking, gives me a smile and makes me feel like i could teach somebody just as well but then you will say something that makes perfect sense in the moment that i realize i wouldn't have said and thats why im not an instructor lol enjoy the content, good to see some pupils are happy to have their progress uploaded and i hope she see's that she is doing well and people enjoy seeing her grow in the car.

    I have passed on Thursday the 5th of October using hand controls as a disabled person. You got this Emily
  • @murats5863
    You got this, Emily, keep it up! Thx for the vid, Richard!
  • @samantaxhelo8485
    I wish had you as my instructor, my first lesson he brought me to a busy road, I had to go through 3 roundabouts and the only thing that he showed me was the accelarator, brake and clutch, that's it!!! He didn't explain to me that the brake and the accelerator were more "sensitive" than the clutch, he didnt explain to me that I had to release the clutch up to the biting point and then give a little bit of gas, and he didn't tell me how to brake...but thanks to your videos I knew what to do and I never stalled, my driving was smooth, but I was pissed at him.

    Thank you Richard, just passed today with 2 minors! Honestly don't think I would have passed without you and DGN driving. Thank you so much.
