He keeeeds.^

Imagine two pieces of sandpaper. One is spinning, the other isn't. You want to bring the non-spinning sandpaper up to the same speed as the spinning one by letting them rub together. Not too long because you'll grind down the sandpaper... But just enough so they get you moving

Wait, what?

P.s. - stop looking in your rearview mirror so often. That car behind you is probably 5-10 feet away

P.p.s.- plant your left heel on the floor as a pivot point so the act of the car moving forward doesn't make you take your foot off the clutch all of a sudden
