Hi,
I've been driving intermittently for a year in a petrol car, and I've become anxious about hill driving primarily for the reasons that I think I will a) stall or b) roll backwards as my clutch control in general is edgy (think this was down to when I took lessons and endless stalling in a petrol car)
For example, today I was approaching a traffic light at the top of a hill. I slowed down > brake > clutch down > into first gear and waited (I should have put my handbrake up but my machismo made me not and thought it will probably change to green real soon)
When it went to green, as I'd had my right foot on the brake, I tried to find my biting point and released my brake to move onto the accelerator but the car rolled back slightly, and then revved as I made my way forward.
A brief Google showed I should have had my handbrake up as I could have got my speed right then eased up to my biting point but I see so many people get by without using their handbrake and expertly handling their clutch, I feel I should be able to do the same.
Anyways, I'd like advice on how to manage my clutch when I'm stationery driving upward on a hill and secondly, during moving traffic up a hill. One of the roads I travel back from work is a hill that at peak times gets busy so moving traffic is a regular occurrence.
I hope with regular practice it will click and I will have references to avoid the issues I fear but any help (links to videos etc) would be appreciated.
Ta.
