Do You Still Stall Your Car Sometimes When You Drive?

[poake]

do you still feel embarassed by that?

What kind of car do you have?

[baza]

yes, cos it's a bl99dy diesel, never had a problem with petrol engines

[gness]

Poake...I don't mean to be rude but are you having trouble driving without stalling?
You seem a little over concerned with stalling a car.....x

[ELVIS68]

No I've never stalled it yet, it's a Nissan Navara D22 pick up, had it 10 months and I'm still deciding if I like it or not

Mines an automatic and hasnt stalled yet ……

[FredPuli43]

Yes I do, and no I don't. I have stalled my automatic Skoda diesel twice and I'm very proud of achieving what should be impossible !

Though I was embarrassed on a hillside once; having only driven automatics for decades and in a hired manual , I couldn't remember how to do a hill start.
Not too good when you are rolling backwards towards an Alpine cliff edge !

[tamborine]

'impossible for a Skoda on a hill' ? No, its a miracle …

[WELSHYORKIE]

Yes I have but as it's a Golf Bluemotion with stop/start it automatically restarts itself - air still turns blue inside the car though.....

Yes I do, and no I don't. My driving instructor many years ago told me it's nothing to feel bad about, we all do it at some point - it's knowing what to do quickly to get out of the stall which is important.
