You can release either one first, but it is generally recommended to release the clutch first. Below are the relevant explanations: 1. Operate slowly: When braking, pressing the clutch and brake slowly will prevent the engine from stalling. Additionally, during the vehicle's forward movement, the speed must also be slow to ensure that you have time to think about any operation if you are not yet proficient. 2. Only release the clutch and brake pedals after shifting to neutral: If the vehicle is still in 1st gear, even if the car has come to a stop, releasing the clutch and brake too quickly can still cause the engine to stall due to the clutch being released too fast.

How High Heels Can You Wear While Driving?

You can wear high heels under 4 cm while driving. Article 49 of the Road Traffic Safety Law stipulates: behaviors that hinder safe driving, such as wearing slippers, high heels with heels over 4 cm, barefoot, or holding a phone for calls, are prohibited. Drivers who violate this regulation will be penalized with a 2-point deduction and a certain fine. Additional information: The impact of wearing shoes with excessively high heels or thick soles on driving is as follows: 1. Due to excessively high heels (over 4 cm), when a driver attempts to press the brake or accelerator, the heel can easily get stuck in the gap between the pedal (brake or accelerator) and the car floor, making it difficult to fully press the pedal, severely affecting normal driving. 2. When switching between the accelerator and brake pedals, the heel can easily get stuck during the transition. 3. Wearing shoes with overly thick soles weakens the driver's perception of pedal depth, leading to excessive acceleration or deceleration.
