[QUOTE="paganpink, post: 219707, member: 5419"] Since it burns your clutch to keep slipping it on a hill, then (as Dillweed says) you should put on your emergency brake while at a stop and then start up as normal while releasing it a second or two later with a swat of your left hand. This is also a help if you're struck from behind by someone while stopped so some people were trained to always put on the e.brakes when at a signal light thus reducing the chance of your being driven into the car in front of you. Your mirrors really don't have to show the side of your package car but the area just beside it so you have to adjust them very precisely. Remember the flat mirrors don't distort distances and should be relied on to judge how much space you have, while the concave mirrors (usually round) give you a broader range of field but certainly distort distance and should not be relied on to change lanes or back up except to make you aware of things out of view of the larger mirrors.
