There is a question I want to ask.

I see alot of people driving manual car will free the gear first before applying brake to stop the car but last time when Im in the driving academy, my instructor taught me to press the clutch and brake till the car stop and then only free the gear.

Which one is the right way because my instructor scold me when i use the first technique

It depends on the cruising speed and rpm. when you driving on highspeed, need to brake accidentally, you need to first brake and then press the cluth with transmission. if you know what i mean. if driving at low speed and certain distance from car infront, you can play with the clutch first to free gear and need not to press gear, it depends still, because if you veteran driver, you can sense how fast is the car driving right infront of you. Why do ppl not press the gear sometimes, because once you press the clutch, that will decrease your rpm ratio thus cost your more fuel effiency. Hope this point of view of mine could help smile.gif

break the car............ i like the idea.......looking for a chance to try it out haha...........

pressing the clutch all the time when u braking.......it's meaning less......

best, let the engine help u to break; when u almost stop onlt shift to N, but remember to match the rpm a bit before engaging gears again if u still rolling ( moving lar)

my dad always drive like that, the brake pad sets last him for 10yrs before he borrow the car for me.......... used till almost finish.....

but autocars brake pad very fast wear out though..........
