When braking a car, should you press the brake or clutch first?

[LolaDella]

Usually, when braking a car, you should press the brake first and then the clutch. This is the most basic braking method for drivers. In addition, there are the following three braking methods: 1. Parking on a slope: Press the brake first, then the clutch. When the clutch is pressed, the car is effectively in neutral, and without the engine's resistance, the car may roll downhill; 2. Emergency stop or deceleration at high speed: Press the brake first, then the clutch. Because the higher the car's speed, the greater its inertia. If the clutch is pressed first, the car's inertia increases, so the brake must be pressed first; 3. Stopping at a red light: Press the clutch first, then the brake. Because the lower the car's speed, the greater the frictional resistance between the tires and the ground. If the brake is pressed first, the engine is more likely to stall.
