Into woulda been funnier.
beware of chavvy little 16 year olds on their mopeds, could have hit one today, he was parked on the grass near the road looked behind him gave a signal to the left and pulled out infront of me (already in the left lane), causing me to brake hard.
Yeah saw two morons riding their bikes and was like oshi- then I realised if I hit them that's two less twats on the roads
Well did you?
nah not worth the dent in my fiesta
Red means go, green means stop good luck.

Take this Californian driving tips, they help:
1. When in doubt, ACCELERATE!
2. No cop, no stop.
3. While driving and you see someone wanting to race, YOU RACE.
4. Always run away from the police.

Havent read ya thread mate so sorry if anythings repeated previously. Try not to worry about us lot who have already passed, we also went through the same system as you. So if anyone beeps at you, don't worry as 5 seconds later they will think 'Oh shit, that used to be me'. We can all see that big ol plastic toblerone ontop of the car (if applicable) telling us you are learning, so we keep away or even out of the way.Kez wrote:
So my first lesson is on Saturday, any tips?
That aern't don't crash or something silly that I won't do!!!!!
Relax and enjoy it, after all it costs a small fortune so you might as well get ya monies worth.
Park like this, or you won't even begin to impress your instructor.
When you are as awesome a diver as Kez will be, he won't need to park.

Most modern cars, even my 1.0 litre petrol car can get rolling without throttle, if you handle the clutch correctly. Virtually all learning cars over here are diesels, which are much harder to stall then petrol cars. Even a 1.4 litre diesel is almost impossible to stall.

Remember, if you are about to stall the natural instincts of an inexperienced driver are to drop the clutch, resulting in your call....stalling. Try to remember engaging it if anything is happening, don't be shy to use that clutch .
i'm learning atm, got my test soon, but i still occasionly stall the instructors diesel car, but rarely stall my dads 1.6 litre petrol car. am i just a poor driver?
naw, diesels are like that.
What, more torquey so less likely to stall them leading to a guy stalling them more often than a petrol?burnzz wrote:

Just give a tiny bit of gas whenever you are operating the clutch, just enough to not hear it, and just enough to keep it from stalling.
Er, no. Diesels have more torque and are harder to stall, which is the reason that most instructor cars are diesels.burnzz wrote:

True, but engaging the clutch means letting it transmit power (letting it out).Sydney wrote:

If it is about to stall DISENGAGE the clutch by depressing the pedal (semantics, but it annoys me )

Don't ever drink alcohol and drive. I'm up for 800+ fines from one big night out.
