correct method of breaking ----> Assuming u are at 4th gear,
u see a red light... here is the procedure...
1) clutch in,
2)brake,
3)wait for speed to become 30kmh,
4)change to gear 3, slowly release clutch and brake at the same
time
5)wait for speed to become 20kmh,
6)change to gear 2, slowly release clutch and brake at the same
time
7)clutch down fully, and brake until u come to a complete
stop.
8)change to gear 1 (at this point, no need half clutch, just
watch out for traffic lights whether its turning green soon) (also,
if u know u need to stop quite long, engage hand brake, otherwise,
stopping for zebra crossing no need to use hand brake)
9)once u know the green light is coming soon, go into half
clutch.
10)Do not start to half clutch immediatdly once u stop, this is
totally wrong. Can cause damage.
I stop at junction all those i neutral and step foot brake only,
never use handbrake o_o
can anot?
