Should You Press the Clutch or the Brake First When Stopping at a Designated Point?

[McEmersyn]

You should always press the clutch first and then the brake; otherwise, the vehicle is prone to stalling. Designated Point Stopping: Slope-designated stopping and starting is an assessment point in the driver's test. Test requirements: Stopping at a fixed position on a slope with ≥10% gradient and ≥30 meters length, examining the coordination of steering, braking, and clutch operation. The purpose is to train motor vehicle drivers to accurately judge the vehicle's position and correctly use the brake, gear, and clutch to meet the needs of stopping and starting on uphill sections. Precautions for Subject 2 Exam: There is no time limit for starting after getting into the car. First, close the door and check if the door light is off—this is crucial. Press the clutch all the way down with your left foot and hold it steady, grip the steering wheel with your right hand, adjust the seat with your left hand until your left leg is slightly bent and can exert force, and ensure the seat is stable by moving it back and forth for a test.
