How to Control the Brake and Clutch at Traffic Lights?

[ODelilah]

There are two scenarios when encountering traffic lights: stopping and braking. The details are as follows: 1. Stopping: When encountering a red light, if there are no vehicles ahead, first brake to decelerate, then fully depress the clutch, and coordinate the brake with a rhythm of varying pressure. Stop when the front of the car slowly glides to just cover the white line on the ground ahead. 2. Direct Right Turn: If there are vehicles ahead, since there is a blind spot of about three to four meters, it is better to stop when the front of the car aligns with the rear wheel of the vehicle in front. If there are more than 10 seconds left, the next steps are to shift to neutral, engage the handbrake, and wait. For right-turning vehicles, you can turn right directly at a red light, but remember to activate the right turn signal in advance. 3. Starting: Beginners may be slower in their actions, so generally, when there are about 7 seconds left, start by shifting into first gear, then release the handbrake. If turning, activate the left turn signal. When there are about 3 seconds left, slowly lift the clutch while applying the throttle, then quickly shift to second gear to get the car moving smoothly. Then, shift up as needed to avoid obstructing the traffic behind.
