Hello and welcome to this video where I'm going to show you how to do clutch control.
Using the pedal camera we'll be looking at the clutch going uphill,
downhill in traffic and all sorts of situations. I'll also show you a video
clip of what happens when clutch control goes wrong and people crash. So for more
videos like this subscribe to my channel now but let's get straight into it. So
the technique I'll be using is I'll be creeping like this and i'm going to be coming up to
traffic and different situations clutch down roll and I'll be doing gas clutch creep
and I'll be make the car moves very slowly and then to clutch control without
breaking and stopping dead. That's really one of the main things that people do
wrong when they do clutch control is you should not be stopping totally dead now
here I'll be going downhill when I turn left so I don't need to do clutch
control so much here this is the same kind of thing it's a different technique
and he brake could steer then gear roll look go that's how it should be if you
are stopping all the time you do any wrong I'm going to get a left here and
I'll show you another one at the end of this road but quite simply if you're
stopping then trying to the Eclipse control
you're missing the points of clutch control you either stop then go or you
do closed control you don't stop then do your quits control it's one or the other
so I'm gonna cook forwards now when I'm at the end of this road and I'll show
you some clutch control there okay so we coming to the end of the road now and
there's some traffic which is great so I can show you the critter-control in
traffic so the aim is not to stop dead it doesn't mean you can't stop sometimes
you have to stop but I should go clutch brake I'm keeping well back from the car
ahead I'm going to first skier brake off that's how it should be done gas clutch
up creep that occurred she's just about halfway up and what I'm gonna try and do
on this section is not stop at all it's not possible to always carry on but the
point is you should not just be stopping so idea could stain brake a little brake
off no now here I'm really can go so I just like stopped dead nothing wrong
with our luck we just said sometimes you have to stock but the
point of course control is normally you should not be stopping are this the only
reason I am is looking ahead I can't get anywhere and if you overdo it if you
strain and strain the clutch you will start to damage it so I'll still haven't
moved it's been about 10 seconds at least since I stopped it was well worth
stopping I'm now gonna start creeping again so I'll creep forwards and I'll
try not to stop this time I'll go push down brake softly but not enough to
right to stop dead sorry you break but not enough to stop early still so how do
you clutch down brake a little break off roll you don't want to push down too
long that can damage it but you want to keep rolling breaking softly but notice
I'll still haven't stopped so doing gas cloture push down rolling kind of cross
the box know sort of like softly again in this situation I am going to stop
hand icon and I can almost get over the box but not quite so I'm going to way
back here neutral clutch up that saves damaging the croats if you hold you down
a long time can't damage him so I'm gonna right side and creep again now I'm
gonna go so that is one normally what you don't do but in very very heavy
traffic you just can't avoid it it's better to stop I didn't go then just
creep and creep for the sake of it like now we're going to one I'll creep a
little but there's no point in just creepin creepin creepin creepin creepin
just for the sake of creeping so yet again I can't go well I probably can
just now so creeps slowly but I'll do you could jump cuts down roll look can
go so I creep Gasca loads creep very slow
creep creep call I can probably go before this white van let's see so
clutch up down up down up down very soft and slow long after the van well before
and they'll forget you wave me out of that one so I'll go coach up coach down
coach up to the point now if you don't know about the budget point I've done
other videos on this where I'll go through it in much more detail there
will be a link to those the description below somewhat crude she's fully up at
the moment I'm not pressing it but I'm keeping my foot over it in case I need
to press it you normally have you thought there when you're not on the
clutch but in this stitch race you don't want to do that now I need it crits down
but notice I'm not breaking gasps clutch up creep a little bit so I'll creep and
creep and crawl very slowly clutch down back up to the lower end of the biting
point again I've done many videos on this before glitch down good job coach
down creature up now I'm a for he's barely moving up and down it's about a
millimeter up and down the time so I'm creeping crawling I could just stop but
I don't I lose momentum so quit chips smoothly although I might let you know
off a little big ass I'm losing my footing so I'm not on the clutch the car
might be PF there you go just on key now that's just to me LC miss reads the
speed sign he thinks of speeds five because he saw that sign say five on the
left but it's not five it's 20 so I'm not speeding so I'm didn't clutch down
breaking a little but don't stop with the brake brake off roll gas clutch up
creep never really can go if it's heavy traffic or would stop and hand brake but
we're moving very slowly so clicks creeping up these lights could change so
push down good jump can I get through no scooch down I'm
good at right now and stop because I might as well he just stopped hand icon
no point in creeping with people walking in front of you and I could just
overhear your clich and damage it like the car next to me you can't see that's
a shame this car next to me is creeping a creep and in damaging the clutch so
they're going to change the green again soon so clutch into one there are other
things I'm not mentioning like checking the mirrors and such but you know
obviously I'm checking the mirrors before slow down and like I just cut
back in front so I'm rolling up to the junction I can't go so clutch one so
that car right away that's got it wrong I didn't look there's no evident to go
again I'm stopping because I can't go anywhere and this is the main point of
this video you don't have to always see clutch control
because sometimes people get into the head but they've got to the Eclipse
control and if you don't you're gonna fail the test that's not correct at all
you do when necessary you should do it the majority of the time but nine
situations are those we just had for example named clutch brake one brake off
roll cuz I allows me to go the lights have just changed I'll crawl through the
box I'm not stopping it so I'm fine that's lady Eclipse control again there
are other videos I've done where they explains you much more clearly in terms
of exactly what I'm doing this one is more just showing you some
practical applications of it so here I've got a crossing coming up they're
breaking your head so I'm going to cover my brake
I can't see to the right so I'm ready to stop no but okay these taxis kind of in
the way but it'll be out of the way and I can excel I know up to 30 and then
I'll be more places down this road well do clutch control so I'm going to cut
the video forwards now to similar situations and I'll show you some more
clutch control in traffic and uphill
you
now another good example of when you need clutch control is when you go to
fill up refuel you see on the right there there's a garage if you're going
into a garage you need to be able to creep up to the pump position your car
correctly now those cars are doing there next to the pump to be able to fill up
your fuel if you get control wrong you could go flying into the pump and blow
the whole garage into the sky so I don't have any crypts that are happening
unfortunately but here's some more situations for clutch control clutch
brake into first gas clutch up because I'll go in a little bit quick for once
why did gassing clutch that's what I call rev-matching
I believe in more videos on in the future but simply if you're going a
little bit quick for one here every gas then difficult slowly and it helps take
away every jumping now jumping is not a problem when you're driving test if it's
a little bit jumpy a lumpy we're not really bothered about that because
that's something here you get with time there's an examiner close to where I
work and he also talks about the word finesse he always says the finesse will
come with time we're not really bothered about that so yeah now I'm breaking the
clutches up I'm leaving aperture because this is
also a form of clutch control it's what you call engine braking notice
I'm braking with a clutch up you get stronger biking with a good job because
you clutch pedal there he's holding the car back if I go push down it rolls away
freely it's a bit not being on the bike with skateboard you just freewheel down
the hill so now our D brake on neither quotes because I'm going to go in the
back of the white car otherwise I'm going to first gear brake off
don't stop Gasca let's creep I forego that would have been correct they if I'd
stopped because you thought like no clutch roll Gasca let's go if you just
stopped dead you making it very hard for yourself to get moving again and you
notice again I'm keeping my foot over the clutch pedal but I'm not actually
pressing it so I'm hovering you over the pedal it's changed up to three now I've
done I can take it away there's nothing wrong with having you foot around the
clutch pedal if you watch my videos I've done with people's like Claudia no Lucy
you notice I tend to drive with a feet over the clutch nothing wrong with that
you might think it's uncool to what you might get cramping your foot
but if it's a cow for you it's okay for you whatever works best for you as long
as it's illegal it's good so there'll be more cuts control in a moment probably
why car swerving all over the place look I hate drunk cause I mean the guy
weaving where you've never had another drunk that is why I drink driver look
started wavin left now when they were we've involved are doing minor that I
doing at attorney while they doing are they on the phone or singing I don't
know what to do in there but they're all over the road anyway I'm going to keep
well back from them so they're breaking so I'm going to cook my bike I didn't
even get to cover the bike I came off the gas that was sufficient to hold me
back so I'm gonna carry on but I'm being very careful he's white car ahead your
car thought they were going to turn then did you see them returning I thought
they were going to turn so I did break a little I don't need to come down from
third third still fine now this is different depending on your car because
all cars have different gears what you called the tolerance of a gear the
tolerance is how much you can tolerate if I'd like now you can tolerate quite a
low speed before I need the clutch smoke hood she's open up and up helping the
car bike I might just get a nice tangy 30 er yeah so break off and I'll forego
your car might do that better or worse you may be able to go slower you may not
be able to go slow it's all down to your car that's one place where petrol cars
they're actually easier you can brake for longer and go slower in the petrol
than a diesel generally we saw you know generally so I'm covering the breaking
case I need him I'm coming into a very heavy traffic area this is Sally Okun
Birmingham this is very very bad for traffic especially at the moment with
the road what's going on so traffic lights are the mirror brake clutch to
change into Green sod don't stop my goings first gear brake off don't stop
molé molé a few seconds is fine Gasca let's go and
I'll forego getting covering the clutch so I can pretty dandy - still craving
the clips don't get to three and then my pedal
fulcrums away from the pedal he's tachy on the winemakers he phoned the white
cars going to change again that's a sign what car and it's driving erratically
before and his taxi maker mark over so I know these lights won't change days
they've been fixed on Greenleaf recently because the place on the right that was
there is shut so there's lots of permanent on green heavy traffic that's
great for this video so did braking coach now I probably
can't avoid stopping here but I'll give it a go I know I could overtake but
that's not the point in this video we're not talking about making progress I'll
still haven't stopped so I'm rolling creeping clips slowly but all I'm doing
here is on lifting the clutch very slow with a bit of gas if you haven't seen my
other videos about gas Dinklage it's nearly always gusting clutch in a diesel
car like this you don't have to do a gas grudge but you should Saudi a gas clutch
up well I'll make a point about its now I've mentioned this before but it's
worth saying again some people said in your videos they said oh you're wrong
because you don't have to live to do the gas first I don't know if you'll be able
to hear this now be fine if the clutch listen see the engine revving I'm not
doing the gas my car revs for you none of your car does are mostly but some
don't so when people decide you don't need the gas in the clutch you actually
do issues that their cars doing it for them and they don't realize so it's
always gas clutch it's just if you don't do the gas yourself the car will do it
for you this is really about traffic Li you can see actually made a video about
this of the week well got stuck in this Jam for about 20 minutes but anyway
there you go that's the idea critter-control
so the idea is the things to take away from this video it's first of all try
not to stop but it's not wrong if you do don't go thinking you've got to carry on
you don't have to it's just better if you don't and the reason it's better it
shows better planning if you're looking ahead enough you don't
have to stop if you plan ahead that drivers do what you call reactive
driving so they react now these lights may chainsaw cover the brake I'm ready
to slow down but now it can go on through a bad driver wouldn't do that
they just come up they'd react by braking then stopping then moving off
from a standing start advanced driver switch myself don't do that she planned
more ahead and talking about planning ahead I had a crush on this roundabout a
few weeks ago now I'll be coming in a video soon but anyway I hope that's
helped you with with your clutch control I noted our full detailed description
but I thought you might help you if you'd like to see more videos like this
please let me know leave your comments below you asked me questions about
control let me know what you'd like to see would you like to see more like this
is there anything any particular point you'd like to see made clearer let me
know your thoughts and your comments and you see here where it says you can't go
mindless you in an ambulance buses and emergency vehicles everyone just goes
right there anyway thanks for watching check out my other videos on the screen
now and lots of them eclipse control and as always I'll see you again soon for
more videos
you
