A $60 lesson can save you lots on your first standard car.
Never coast in neutral or clutch in until your near stopped.
Coasting around turn is dangerous cause you don't have throttle control and also being in gear helps with traction.
Shifting during turns as a newby can end up in an accidental clutch kick drift.
For me, if I know I'm slowing down to a complete stop I'll just stay in gear till I stop but If I know I'm only slowing down but still rolling I'll heeltoe my way down gears.
If your still new and stalling I recommend learning how to rolling jump start your car cause your battery is gonna be dead. If you're on a hill and no one is behind you, turn your key on position put it reverse, clutch in, let it roll to a moderate speed then drop that clutch. Same applies to forward with 1st gear.
Driving a standard car is an art form, everyone has their on ways.
If you're learning to drive stick in Richmond don't even worry, people will just think you're a typical Asian driver.
