Just relax and listen carefully, don't concentrate too much on your handlings just do them, its quite normal the 1st lesson that you look at the gearknob when you change gear but you'll loose that the 1st lesson among other things :wink:

Good luck

I've got my first lesson next monday, worried about stalling at lights or something lol.

[RC45]

First driving lessons?

I thought you were a drift king? ;) :P

[gucom]

alan: you'll probably be driving a diesel which are hard to stall... just let the clutch come up slowly, and if you wanna be kind to the car, give it some throttle too :D
(in the car i had lessons in, i could drive away on an incline just by letting the clutch come up, no throttle at all :shock: ( its hell for the clutch though) downside was, it took 17secs to reach 100 km/h lol... )

alan: you'll probably be driving a diesel which are hard to stall...
Well, it isn't such a big deal for beginners, they can stall everything on earth :D (no offense Pagani, I've also been one of them :wink: )

Good luck :)

I've been out in my dads car with him to an industrial estate to practice, and im not too bad, but ill probably panic the first time i come to a roundabout with traffic and itll be dark so will be different.

[pagani]

Rc 45 you are the drift king not me.
My driving lesson want better than i expected.
Clutch and brake combo could went pretty good but the clutch and gas pedal is pretty hard do for a first timer like me.
I have a long road to go.
And i did the lesson in the dark.
My parents don't have a car.
Yes i did drive a diesel car and just the clutch most of the time no trottle most of the time.
:D :o

[RC45]

Well, its good you are starting out on the right foot.. :)

Have funa dn good luck.

Remain calm, themore nervous you are, the more mistakes you'll make. Keep a cool head and you'll do fine.

Also, crank the steering as for as it'll go, put it in reverse, rev the crap out of it and let the clutch go.

Nice work. When you're driving in traffic, be assertive when changing lanes, or people will get pissed.

It's so odd reading about people learning how to drive in manual's. I wish it was like that in the states.

Anyways, best of luck, I'm sure you will do well!

Manual or as the Americans say Stickshift all the way :D

Can you not take lessons in the states with a manual or do they really all have automatic gearboxes?

[Mattk]

Not sure about the States, but in Australia, most people learn to drive autos first, then manuals. Easier that way.

My sister said their was better driving school for me.
And she said also the my current drivingschool is not that good.
Maby i first try the other driving school if it's not any better than i stick with my current driving school.

[Mattk]

I'd just stick with the current one, if it's not abominably bad. Driving is not remarkably difficult...
