I’m practicing for my driving licence and I’m going to driving school, just out of curiosity though I’ve looking on YouTube how to start and run a car and I’ve seen at least 3 different methods, I dunno which one is the correct. Things like the order when you release a pedal or when you need to press the clutch keep switching…

    That’s fine. I rode a Vespa for two years with a manual transmission before I did my car license, so I had the basics of throttle, clutch and shifting figured out way before my first lesson. Although I consider myself a pretty skilled driver, my first hour with a pretty easy to drive manual car included lots of stalling the engine. I learned how to get moving on an incline and also reverse parallel parking that same day, which was a little strange.
