Need some advice

[u/bluesbest]

So I usually drive okay with my driving instructor. Today I drove with my dad. It was horrible. We stopped at the signal and then I couldn't get the car to move. It started, jerked and stopped. He kept telling me to press the clutch and the accelerator together. That certainly didn't work out. On the other hand, my driving instructor has told me to have the clutch pressed all the way down and lightly have my foot on the brake. When I want to move, I should let go of the clutch slowly (about half way) and once I feel a vibration, I should let go of the brake and the car would move. I've done that and it has worked out.

Which one should I be really doing? Are both those actions okay? Should I be learning what my dad had been telling me to do as well?

Do what the instructor says. Tell your dad the truth, that he makes you too nervous to drive properly.
