Driving a Manual Car
Driving a manual car is not as difficult as we thought. It is all about grip and practice, we just need to stay calm while driving so that we can drive safely and securely.

How to start a manual car
To start a manual car you first need to check that the handbrake is on. If the car is in a parked position or stopped, the handbrake can be on already. Now you just need to put the key on or if it contains a button just press the button of the car, the car will not start until you press the button it will totally depend on the type of car you have.
Now you are ready to start driving, put the clutch fully down and put the first gear on. Don’t remove your foot from the clutch. While moving on just look around, is there any person or car around you? Now just remove the handbrake and on the indicator in the direction you want to go it will help other people to see in which direction you want to go.
Now gradually remove your foot from the clutch, find the bite point and press the accelerator. Don’t worry, our driving instructor in accrington will be there to tell you where the bite point is. You can also do it because you can feel a huge difference in the engine voice. You just need to focus on it, don’t worry if you don’t find it, the instructor will help you to go through it.
As you just pick up your foot from the clutch, you need to put your feet on the accelerator. Just remind them that if you pick your feet up from the clutch and don’t put them back to the accelerator directly, the car will automatically turn off. So you just need to balance both pedals until you want to move the car
Shifting Up a Gear in a Manual Car
1. As your car starts working just look at the tachometer of the car. As the engine of the car reaches 2,500 and 3,000 RPM it’s time to change gears to the next one gradually
2. Now press the clutch of your car fully to the floor with your left foot. This removes your engine from diffusion and now your car is ready to change the gear.
3. By pressing the clutch fully with the foot move the gear lever from lower to higher smoothly just like moving the 2 gear to the 3 one.
4. Now just slowly remove the clutch pedal and gently press the accelerator with your right foot. It will help you in smooth balance so that the car will not start shivering and stalling.
5. As you just release your clutch fully just press the accelerator to maintain or increase your speed.
6. Just continue doing this process again and again when it is required, shifting up the gear as you want to increase your speed.
How to pass a driving test
Passing and learning the driving test can be a little difficult and time-consuming. You just don’t need to worry our Student driving school will help you to learn how to drive. The only thing you need to pass the test is a lot of practice and concentration while learning and driving. With full concentration and a lot of practice, you are able to get your license in the first attempt. Before you apply for the test you need to apply for a temporary license. Now it’s all up to you, you need to find a good instructor and tell him/her what you want to learn manual or automatic
Applying for a temporary license
A temporary license is also known as a provisional license. It is compulsory because whenever you want to learn how to drive, a license is very important. Without this, you are not even supposed to drive. So a Temporary license is very important if you want to learn to drive.
The perfect age to learn how to drive is once you are 15 years and nine months but the license can only be valid when you are 16. With this temporary license you are able to ride a bike and at the age of 17 you begin to learn to drive. And in the case you don’t have an instructor or someone who is legally approved you are not allowed to drive.
How to drive a manual car on a hill
To drive a manual car you just need to remain in lower gear otherwise you will lose power and are not able to drive more. Stay calm, remain between 1 and 2 gears and drive normally. But while you are going uphill put your foot down on the accelerator and press it a little bit to achieve the normal speed you need. Remember one thing when you are coming down, ease your foot from the accelerator and change to the higher gear.
By following these steps you can ride easily and safely but try to use a handbrake on hills rather than a foot brake, this is because it will help you to remain focused so that you can put one foot on the clutch and the other on the accelerator so that you have complete control on it and your car will not slip.
How to avoid damaging the clutch
Try not to ride the clutch, which means putting your foot on the clutch while you are driving. Try to use the clutch only when you need to change gear. Putting your feet on the clutch without the use of changing gear can cause unnecessary wear. The use of the clutch is mainly to change gear, don’t hold it on an incline plane to stop the car you need to apply the brake instead of holding the clutch. If you hold the clutch for a long time it might heat up and wear out faster. While shifting gear always depresses the clutch fully and releases it fully after changing the gear, Partial engagement can also cause wear in the clutch so just try to avoid all these things
