depends on situation....

drive auto lah.... dun need headache...

Driving exam cannot use auto car mar. Clutch brake, brkae clutch doesn't matter now, just keep the engine running when stopped fully.

U do this while emergency, u wont get stop. U can try it by urself.

Oh my What I assume now is it doesn't matter to brake or clutch first, as long as you clutch before the car fully stops. Is that right?

yes, and no.

you still dont get it, ok..try it this way... drive at 50kmj then release ur accelerator pedal, dont touch anything else, see how fast ur car slow down

then repeat, drive at 50, release ur acc pedal but this time press your clutch pedal see how fast ur car slow down

compare both

still depends on road condition. whether the road is tilt or what..

After you get your license 6 months, I'll teach you 'heel & toe'.

same concept if you ride motorcycle with clutch.

you failed driving BIG TIME, dude. You RELEASE UR GAS PEDAL to slow down, and it slows down faster with the CLUTCH ENGAGE, not with the CLUTCH PRESSED, because the engine actually help braking when you not pressing gas.

yeah, we call this gear dragging.

or engine braking, something like that

its always brake first then clutch....

but for driving test anyhow can lah just make sure u pass the test

really funny la reading some of the replies here.

TS, the correct method of driving a manual is brake first, then clutch for higher speed breaking. Like the sifus here say, engine breaking will help slow down your car and reduce the break pad wear and tear.

for lower speed, can just clutch and break, but normally, after much practice in a manual car, you'll still do a break - clutch.

For emergency, i always wanted to try to just step on the break and leave the clutch on. I mean, when you really need to stop, there's no harm in stalling the engine rite? (wanted to try, but no guts to wreak my car lol. )

Big big mistake..most new cars have power assisted brakes not to mention your power steering.Once your engine stalls (mati engine) you have little or no control over you steering and some brakes harden up meaning you have to put more pressure on it to stop.Combine not being able to steer or brake in an emergency situation,i bet we wont hear from you ever again.

Try stalling your engine while comming down genting.

aiyar.. newbie driving mar... better clutch then brake, to make sure engine won't stalled... after that learn yourself.. next time u sure cucuk my back 1..

if step on clutch first, your car will be on free gear which is more dangerous.

newbie driving slow 1 mar.. if during his driving test, he go and press brake first if the speed become too slow for the engine, then the engine stalled then failed lor..... just for passing the exam, use clutch 1st then brake, to be safe since you are not driving fast...

as long as the car is above 20-30kmh use brake pedal only, even in top gear it wont stall, below 20-30 clutch in.

Thanks everyone for the guides. Damn JPJ off till 13 of October, no driving test whatsoever for now.

press clutch then brake so easier for u to shift gear later..but when in high speed just press brake first
