NOT using a clutch when shifting gears on a manual trans?

I'm pretty sure we had to double clutch in CA for the test. I don't see what the big deal is about it. You just double clutch for the test and do what you want afterwards.

I already have a steel plate and 6 screws in my left hip from when it was shattered and am told I will most likely need my first hip replacement at 35-40 years old so I float. It's the last place I need extra wear on my body.

 

dangggggggg Bob...what happened.... Thats alot of metal in ya

 

Yeah, my left leg is done up like Frankenstein lol. No fibula in right or left leg as my right fibula plus a couple hip bones are now my left tibia. The shattered hip was the smallest injury of that whole ordeal.

 

Holy ####...... dang bro wth happened

 

Motorcycle accident. Was driving down a frontage road and a lady in an Avalanche heading in the opposite direction turned left right through me. Wasn't even one of those typical turning left in front of a motorcycle, she went straight through me on the side. My leg took all of the force, the bike was barely damaged. She was only doing about 10 mph and I was doing about 25 mph and even at that speed it took 2 1/2 years of walking away from me. Took 8 or 9 surgeries in total to fix everything.

 

When I road tested (Arizona) I asked the tester if I had to use the clutch or if I could float, his answer was "yes" I had to double clutch once or twice so he could see that I could do it and avoid failure of the test. Beyond that he did not care how I shifted.

Daily driving... I float all the time unless dead stopped.

 

Dangggg....your Lucky she wasnt going faster bro...

 

haha

yeah... my trainer was like "when you start learning how to "slip shift" as he called it, you'll be alright"

I was a bit rusty, not having that many hours behind the wheel, and the ones I did, were always with a different truck, so I made a couple of mistakes and doubled through every gear lol.
