When stopping at a red light, should you press the clutch or the brake first?

[MacEvan]

Brief stop: If there are only a few seconds left at the traffic light, you can press the brake to wait (engage the handbrake if necessary) and keep the gear in 1st or 2nd. When the light is about to turn green, quickly release the handbrake and gradually release the brake to start smoothly. Long stop: If the wait at the traffic light is longer, press both the brake and clutch to stop, then shift to neutral and engage the handbrake to wait. Below is relevant information about traffic lights: 1. Function: Traffic lights are signals that direct traffic flow, typically consisting of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light means stop, a green light means go, and a yellow light serves as a warning. 2. Classification of traffic lights: Vehicle traffic lights, non-motorized vehicle traffic lights, pedestrian crossing lights, directional indicator lights (arrow signals), lane signals, flashing warning signals, and railway crossing signals.
