Can You Press the Brake Before the Clutch?
1 Answers
No. Specific details are as follows: In driving school: Instructors require students to press the clutch before the brake. The reason instructors ask students to do this is that when the car is idling, braking without pressing the clutch can easily cause the car to stall. Therefore, to ensure students pass the test, instructors require them to press the clutch before the brake. Clutch: It is a device that connects or disconnects the power transmission between the engine and the gearbox. Incorrect operation: Pressing the clutch before the brake or pressing both simultaneously is a common mistake made by many beginners. At low speeds, using these methods can avoid jitter or stalling caused by gear shifting. However, at high speeds, doing so can wear out the clutch and damage the clutch plate. In severe cases, it may even lead to brake failure, resulting in tragic accidents.
