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

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

First driving lessons?

I thought you were a drift king?

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

(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... )

Well, it isn't such a big deal for beginners, they can stall everything on earth

(no offense Pagani, I've also been one of them

)

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.

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.
