Should You Press the Clutch or Brake First in Subject 2?
1 Answers
In Subject 2, you should press the clutch first. Here are the relevant details: 1. Situations where you press the clutch before the brake: (1) Reversing into a parking space and parallel parking: In these two test items, you should first press the clutch all the way down, then quickly press the brake. Since Subject 2 is conducted entirely in first gear, the speed is slow, so the vehicle won't jerk. (2) When encountering a red light or pulling over to park: In Subject 3, due to the higher speed, when you need to stop, you should first use engine braking to slow down by releasing the accelerator in advance, then press the clutch all the way down to downshift. As you approach the stopping point, you can gently press the brake all the way down to bring the vehicle to a complete stop. 2. Situations where you press both the clutch and brake simultaneously: When stopping on a slope to prevent rolling backward, you need to quickly press both the clutch and brake all the way down at the same time. In case of an emergency during the test, pressing only the clutch will cause the vehicle to lurch forward due to inertia, so it's generally advised to press both the clutch and brake simultaneously. 3. Situations where you press the brake before the clutch: In Subject 3, if the speed is high, you can first press the brake to reduce the speed, then press the clutch to stop.
