How to Start Smoothly Without Stalling?

After starting the car in neutral, quickly press the clutch pedal. Shift into first gear, then gradually release the clutch. As the vehicle begins to move forward, hold the clutch steady for two to three seconds, gently press the accelerator while slowly releasing the clutch for a smooth start.

I remember when I first learned to drive, I always stalled when starting, which was particularly embarrassing, especially at traffic lights or on slopes. Later, I discovered the secret lies in smoothly controlling the clutch. After depressing the clutch and shifting into first gear, slowly release it until you feel the car slightly vibrate—that's the clutch point engaging. At this moment, quickly and gently press the accelerator to give it some gas, not too hard or too soft, just maintain the RPM around 1500. Once the car starts moving, steadily release the clutch. With more practice, you'll find that sweet spot. Stalling usually happens because the clutch is released too quickly or the throttle isn't matched in time. I recommend beginners practice more in open spaces, like parking lots, to get familiar with the car's response first. This way, you'll drive out with much more confidence, reducing the risk of blocking traffic and making your trips safer and smoother.
