If I Just Started Driving a Manual Car, I’d Do This (POV + Foot Cam)

Are you nervous about driving a manual transmission car? You're not alone. In this video, I break down practical tips to help you overcome your fear of driving stick—whether you're learning for the first time or just trying to get smoother.

We’ll go over everything from proper driving position and clutch control to hill starts and rev-matching. I’ll also show you how to build confidence, avoid common mistakes, and enjoy the experience of driving manual—even if you’ve stalled a few times.

If you're just getting started with manual cars or feel anxious every time you get behind the wheel, this video is for you.
