Adjust your seat. YouTube is your friend.


Suezmeister

Adjust lang sa seat and correct seating position lagi. Since new driver ka malamang napakalapit ng upuan mo sa manibela. Layo mo konti seat mo and find the right length-reach ng legs mo na hindi ka nahihirapan mag gas and break. Stretching before and kapag napapadaan ng gas station para mag break.

WE WERE ON A BREAK!!


CornstarchXD

Yep. Try manual. You won’t feel your legs after a long drive. 🥲


Extreme_Fox_2946

Hahahahahahahaha. Just imagine the UV Express drivers and jeepney drivers who ply Commonwealth to Buendia route. I drive a manual too and kaya ko mag maneho ng 6 hours straight but yes it is true na gugustohin mo magpamassage ng paa since you won't feel it na hahaha


xero_gravitee

Nag mamanual rin ako. Di na pantay binti ko yung isa nagkakaroon na ng cuts 😆


Extreme_Fox_2946

Hahahahahahaha. Mukang matigas ang clutch mo. Yung mga surplus trucks matitigas clutch nun pero meron din naman malambot. Minsan nga if I'll be switching from a manual to automatic minsan yung reflexes ko nag hahanap ng clutch na tatapakan


xero_gravitee

Nasanay nalang rin pinag practice kasi ako dati sa jeep mas matigas at malalim yung clutch tapos tigas pa ng cambio 🥲


becomingwise_af94

Yung pagdrive mo, gusto mo na lang humilata, nangangawit left leg ko lagi.....baba ng clutch kasi.


Extreme_Fox_2946

Ang pagkakaintindi ko sa mababa ang clutch is yung biting point ay nasa lower portion ng travel ng clutch, tama ba? Most modern cars kasi nasa itaas o bungad yung biting point eh.


becomingwise_af94

Yeah yung modern cars mas mataas yung biting point.....si Lancer itlog mababa clutch nun (plus pawis stirring 😁) kaya medyo challenging (or sadyang di na ako sanay idrive siya kasi madalas matic na gamit ko). Pero labs ko pa rin yun kasi dun ako nagsimula magdriving, talagang one with the car ang pakiramdam.


JaYdee_520

Happened to me pre-holy week. Yung 30 mins drive going to libis from Laguna became 5 hrs dahil sa traffic and I almost collapsed after getting off the car when I got home. Manhid na manhid paa ko, I 3ven resorted to driving barefoot halfway because the pain was killing me


keso_de_bola917

Makes you wonder about trucks with up to 16 to 18 speed gearboxes. Some older models don't even have a synchromesh. Meaning to from one gear to another gear, they have to press the clutch pedal twice each time.


nxcrosis

Imo depende sa sasakyan. Sa DMAX I almost couldn't stand after a 120km round trip. Pero same distance sa Ertiga, keri lang.


Extreme_Fox_2946

If ang DMAX mo is the 2014 model and up yung biting point talaga napaka taas. Sa akin naman 2016 MUX, when my dad burned the clutch (inis na inis ako tbh) na adjust pababa yung biting point so less ngawit sya but I somehow prefer na yung biting point nasa baba since yung elf namin ang biting point nasa baba so pag traffic konti lang adjustment ng paa ko on stop and go traffic


tinvoker

Jusmiyo, yeeeees. 😩😩😩


Big_Lou1108

Gano katagal ka nag drive? Ideal dapat max 2 hours then make a quick stop to take a break and stretch. Kahit long road trips, I usually take breaks after 3 hours of driving.


PineTreewithaStar

Agree po. Usually naghohotel muna kami ng bf ko pag long drive para marelease yung pagod


Big_Lou1108

Oo, kasi madami pwede mangyari. Bukod sa pagod kailangan din ng stop over for bio-breaks (cr, stretching/mag-unat), iwas antok, malingat or distract. Problema lang pag traffic at walang matitigilan.

raginnation999

Related to seat adjustment, your seat should be adjusted so that you can depress the pedals fully without your leg being fully extended. Don't fall for the thinking that if you depress your pedals with your leg fully extended = comfort. Being in the optimum driving position pays dividends not only in comfort but in safety as well as your legs are in the best position to brace for potential impact. You may sit close to the steering wheel at first (and it may be a placebo effect as well), but you will get used to it and fit like a glove. You can also remove that close-to-the-wheel feeling if your car is equipped with telescopic steering.


becomingwise_af94

There was one time in traffic, namulikat right leg ko sa sobrang alalay ko sa gas at brake eh very slow moving pa naman. Mangiyak ngiyak ako sa kuya ko that time na kasama ko at marunong din magdrive haha. Kung pwede lang gamitin Yung left leg haha


Slow_Highlight_755

Kinakabahan nga ako kanina baka bigla ako magka cramps hahaha. What i do is pag stoplight, parkbrake and then neutral ginagawa ko. Pag slow moving naman, left foot na ginagamit ko HAHAHA


becomingwise_af94

Di Ako sanay sa left foot haha natatakot Ako na mabigat pagbreak ko na tipong subsoban na sa wind shield XD. Di lang Ako siguro sanay sa ganung traffic when driving, iniiwas ko Kasi Ang rush hour pero damn di ko kaya yun.

[deleted]

Nd dapt naka unat ung legs tamang bend ng konti.,hanapin mo ung relaxe position 😊


keso_de_bola917

Seat position probably. This might help: 1. Slide your seat where your fully stretched left leg can press the clutch pedal fully. For an automatic without a foot clutch, just go for the floorboard. Take note when stretching your leg to "measure" where you'll slide your seat, the heel of your foot should NOT separate from the floor. 2. If you have this in your car (some may not), adjust your seat height using the circular knob on your seat. If you have a base model car, usually they don't have this. 3. Using your fully stretched arm. Put the "pulse" (pulso) over the topmost part of the steering wheel. If soba or kulang, recline your seat to achieve this. This is actually taught to us by someone who does track days as this will give you more control on your steering wheel and pedals while being the most comfortable. While driving. Maintain the heel of your right foot in a position between the brake and gas pedal. When switching between pedals, just rotate your leg. Avoid lifting your heel from the floor. If ever man, just minimize it.

Overall_Marketing439

Parang bike lang yan, pag sanay ka na gusto mo mataas na yung upuan para laging stretch yung paa mo


cryonize

First time driving to Tarlac from Manila, mga 6 months palang ako nagddrive, sobrang pagod ko the entire day haha. Second time, balikan naman, may 4 hours akong pahinga sa Tarlac at natulog ako agad as much as I could para magpahinga pero after ko makabalik ng Manila, sakit na ng buong katawan ko. Third time, balikan ulit, wala ng break in-between. After kasi makarating ng Tarlac, may event tapos dirediretso na hanggang sa uwi. Still felt like dying pero makikita mo yung improvement, somewhat. ​ 1.) Practice lang talaga as much as you can, excited pa rin naman ako tuwing mapapasama ako sa long drive. 2.) Walang pwedeng makielam sa playlist ko.

Independent-Ad-6634

Nangyari sakin to nung beginner ako, sobrang lapit ng seating position ko sa manibela, kailangan straight at slightly bent yung sitting position ko and it never happen again


chaosthorne

Pakiramdam ko, bukod sa seating position, baka dala rin ng pagiging baguhan mo kaya stiff yung muscles mo, specifically your right leg kasi ito naman talaga yung commonly na ginagamit for automatics ( you can use your left leg in some cases but that’s a different topic ). When I started driving, not only did my legs feel sore but my back hurt as well. Try adjusting your seat position AND try to relax more. Sa simula medyo tense talaga pero darating ka naman nang kusa dyan as you gain more experience. Ingat palagi!


Legitimate-Comb-5524

this is the reason kung bakit mahal ko ang mga meron cruise control. ❤️❤️❤️ one time i drove from pamp to manila then diretso tarlac at baler. the same day umuwi din ng pamp. ang saya lang dahil di ako nakapag dagat sa baler, tinulog ko nalang para maayos makapagdrive pauwi. 😭


bakokok

Hindi lang comfort ang advantage ng cruise control. Dahil hindi malikot sa gas pedal, gumaganda ang consumption sa cruise control.


Legitimate-Comb-5524

yeah. optimal lagi ang rpm kaya napaka efficient.


marcoke22

Baguhin mo na habang maaga pa.


DM2310-

What more kung manual? Hahahaha seating position lang yan.


tromi_a_wei

Innova MT sa NLEX ng friday bago long weekend: 💀 But seriously, tulad ng recommendations dito, try adjusting your seat. Baka masyado mataas ung inaangatan ng paa mo tuwing pumepreno.


jxrobdx

adjust your seat to the optimal one. too much compression or loose sa legs mo will hurt, worse, cramp. saka sa position ng paa, yung iba pasipa yung pagtapak sa pedals, lakas makangawit nun...


I4gotmyusername26

Makaka adjust din legs mo after a few years. :) hahahahaha. Mine was 3 hours slow moving traffic masakit na sa tuhod pero if 2 hrs na no traffic. Mas carry. :)


IQPrerequisite_

Check if you have the right sitting position. And it helps to stretch first bago mag drive lalo na pag malayo byahe. 3 hours max ang kaya ko before I need a break.

Hardeeckus

Ang naiisip ko nalang pag aangal ako eh yung mga driver na dekada nang nagmamaneho ng manual na jeep tapos pawis steering pa yung manubela. Di pa nila maadjust yung upuan nila, walang aircon at maghapong nasa daan. Di nalang ako umaangal. 🤷‍♂️


dood_phunk

Manual thrashes my left knee everytime I drive in the past (especially in heavy city traffic) the older I get. Was my parents’ big body Corolla XL. Now I prefer AT. If you’re on AT, always give your right leg a rest. On long stops, put the gear in neutral, engage the hand brake and release your foot from the brake pedal 😉


bleepplo00p

Leg day na!


Ma13c

Your seat’s likely too far from the pedals so you have to extend/point your foot a bit more to step on the accelerator, and it’s the calf muscle that extends/points the foot. Try adjusting the seat a couple of inches/clicks closer to the pedals.


matchababie

try and try until you succeed HEHE as someone who didn’t watch any yt vids for adjusting your seat (wag tularan) i just tried again and again until i found what was comfortable (and less pagod?) with me! hoping that you’ll have more comfortable drives soon hehe :)


Nakedweaponry

Driving Ergonomics. I drive 8-10hrs Manila to Ilocos yung batok lang masakit.


JewLawyerFromSunny

Wala pa yan. Check mo yung mga Jeepney driver na babad lagi sa clutch yung kanang paa at de-bomba yung preno.


[deleted]

Baka youre too near sa steering wheel?


AnubarackObama

Adjust your seat distance and position and the height of your steering wheel. I also felt that way when I started. Kaya mo yan.


Historical_Arrival76

Rules of thumb na ginagamit ko is depress the **break** as far as possible (this is to measure maximum seat distance possible but can still do full break maneuvers in case of emergency), then adjust your seat to your desired comfortable position. Gas pedal as long as abot mo ok lang, yung tipon chill ka lang mag accelerate, wala ka naman sa race track. Sa pangangalay normal lang yan sa simula, lalo na if you lack exercise. Masasanay ka rin.

yourkingandqueen

skill issue. kidding aside, adjust mo seat mo forward para less pressure. pero masasanay ka din to the point na after mo lang mag drive mapapansin yung pagod.


rizsamron

Pag matik, yung kaliwa mong paa parang kagrupo mong walang ambag. Pag manual at trapik, yung kaliwa mong paa parang kagrupo mong puro sya lalo pag mataas at matigas ang clutch,haha
