That's not the clutch. 38 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:09,880 Yes, it's that one. 39 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,400 You were telling me the wrong... That's the brake. 40 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,520 No, sorry, that's the clutch. The brake's on the other side. 41 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,280 -So that is the brake. -Yeah. 42 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,280 You don't know which is the brake and which is the clutch. 43 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,880 Well, I know when I'm sitting there what's what. 44 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:25,560 You're the worst instructor ever. 45 00:02:25,640 --> 00:02:26,960 -No, I'm not. -Okay, so... 46 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,600 And then you gently put your foot on the accelerator. 47 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,640 There we are.
