I saw this picture not long ago, and the replies were mixed, shows we have a lot of bad drivers or people are just being lousy.

Brake then Clutch?

Clutch then Brake?

What's your take?

Brake then clutch for gear adjustment.

Clutch then Brake isn't valid? I mean what's the use?

The clutch helps to engage the gear network.
Using the clutch to brake is called coasting if I'm right.

I clutch then brake.

At cruising speed u brake then clutch, this gives you the benefit of engine braking as well. This helps slow than faster with less brake force applied. It helps your brake pad last longer too.


My two cents.

Clutching before braking increases the car speed momentarily and you are very likely going to run into the obstacle in front in an emergency situation.

The better way of stopping a car is braking before clutching. What the clutch does here is to ensure the engine doesn't jerk and possibly die down.
