How to do clutch control
Once it's safe all around, signal if needed and release the handbrake, but keep your feet still.
The car will now move. Raising the clutch slightly (about the thickness of a pound coin) will make the car move slightly quicker. Lowering the clutch down (again, about the thickness of a pound coin) will slow you down and that's clutch control.
Raising the clutch completely with a little gas will allow you to drive on and accelerate if required.
When you feel confident, practice clutch control on a hill and in traffic or creeping at a junction.

This is just a rough guide to clutch control, it's not a replacement for good quality driving lessons with an instructor. |
