Riding the clutch:
Some people will keep their car stopped on a hill with the clutch partly engaged while stepping on the gas... I don't think that's good for the clutch
wait what? why would you not be in gear already while waiting to move? shouldn't you have it in 1st already, brake and clutch depressed?

when I was first learning, whenever i did the hastings/boundary hill, i would let go of the clutch just to get a feel of where the engagement point was for a second or two, then depress it again, so when i actually have to start moving, I have a fresh idea where the engagement point was.
