Change use of American terms
Many paragraphs use the term "gas pedal", which should be replaced with more de-localised terms such as "accelerator" or "throttle". I assume there may be more terms throughout the module. What is the stance on local (American) phrasing in WikiBooks?

Pulling away
-Excuse the fact i don't have a WikiBooks account, my Wikipedia account name is Benbread if you're interested- Anyway, looking at the pulling away part, my driving instructor told me it was always best practice to keep the handbrake engaged, bring the clutch to biting point then disengage the handbrake and pull away, particually useful if starting on a hill! Can someone possibly make this a little clearer in the article? I wont do it as i find it best to not go destroying other people's work before getting a feel for the article first. on the other hand, do others think that this pulling away method is not the most appropriate?

It'll cause additional clutch wear if you do it with the handbrake. Using the the service brake system to hold it at a stop and get yourself going is safer, you can let it out gradually -- hand brake releases are typically spring-loaded ratchets, so it's a very sudden release and hard to time correctly.

As for starting on a hill, it's very common to have to hold the service brake and slowly engage the clutch to get going without sliding back. This is an especially important skill with heavier trucks and delivery vehicles, where people so commonly fail to maintain a safe following distance and there is a lack of rear visibility. 184.153.196.39 (talk) 17:32, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
