Had my first lesson today (2 hours), great lesson and looking forward to more.

We kept going round the same loop which included a couple of junctions.
First few times round I had no issues, the last 2-3 I kept suddenly stalling at the same junction which was on a very slight hill

Instructor was fairly clear as to why it happened, it didn’t happen any time I used the handbrake but I wanted to try and do it successfully without that and he only got me to try it with the handbrake to see if that went smoother (which it did)

My question is on how I was doing it, the guidance was to stay on the brake > clutch to biting point > off the break and then release the clutch fully. No accelerator until I was essentially turned into the road and moving off.

Whenever I see guidance videos online they start accelerating at the biting point?

I’ll obviously listen to my instructor but wondered which is correct or does accelerating whilst on the bite just come later when you’re more comfortable?

I’m turning 34, always been active and looked after myself but now I’m noticing bits of ageing like the skin above my eyelids getting a bit loose, as well as some of the skin on my neck

It’s infuriating and I’m hearing more and more from my missus that nearly all the girls at her work have had different minor surgeries done and for most of them you’d never know

Any Men in here been through something similar and had any work done? At 34 I still feel like I’m in my prime and not quite ready to just let my face drastically age 😂 though I’d want to keep it to a minimum so it’s nothing blatant
