Totally agree with Emma, i learnt in a 1993 Peugeot 106 no tachometer, i had to
feel the engine (Avatar
), its a skill you can pass on to every car you will every drive, you can feel the biting point, and when you've given too much gas that it will jolt. Tachometer in cars are different not every car has the same rev's were you've reached biting point so theirs no use in staring, feel the engine and listen out.
If your in a car park or in a safe place with enough space where you can just let the car roll forward or backward when your in first gear clutch in and then slowly press the gas and let the clutch out really slowly and you can feel the biting point, do that a few times, just let it roll and find the biting point. Then you'l find the right spot.
You could always keep the clutch slightly in and then you'l find the biting point and move of then slowly let go of the clutch.
I only stalled when i first learnt and now rarely only time i stall is when im moving of from being parked at a angle, because i shift gears relatively fast i sometimes neglect the fact that the revs are getting me up from the angled position and not powering on. But i haven't done that in 6months and i passed over a year ago.
If you stall don't panic even if theirs a retard honking their horn, when i passed and i stalled a few times the honking just made it worst, worst was 4 consecutive stalls because i was so panicky, but it all comes down to experience.
P.S dont look at the revs look at the road ahead of you.
