I Have Observe Two Ways People Drive Manual Cars. by fineboynl(m): 4:44am On Apr 15, 2022
Is this normal practice in driving a manual cars or it's a bad practice?

Because I have observe two ways people drive manual cars.

Firstly there are some people who clutch down everytime before applying brake. And I think this is really stressful

But I have seen others who don't clutch down when applying a brake.
This one is really easy and stress free.

Is this a bad practice or is there any effect on the car?

It is good practice when you are approaching say a bump ahead to slow down with a break while clutching down to either disengage the gear for a while or to de-accelerate your engine to a lower gear to enable you start the gear selection and rev aftesh from low to high with that "woo, waaaa, weeeee" sound the engines makes when the gear is selecting.

Clutch is for gear change but if vehicle is coming to full stop or needs a gear change then clutch and brake

That's bad driving. The clutch will burn easily. Only clutch when braking to a halt or change of gear

Applying clutch before brake keeps the vehicle from stalling and manual tranny is designed to work like that. Clutch is also engaged before changing gears.
If you get used to it, driving manual becomes fun.

I think clutch should be applied while driving when changing gear only. Braking doesn't mean clutch must be applied. If driving at 50 mph one needs to change from 3rd to 4th gear .... and at 65 he needs to change from 4th to 5th ... what happens if at 60 he brakes to reduce speed to 55 mph ... why should he engage the clutch when he is in the same 4th gear range ... and will continue driving in the same range? But should he brake at 60 and reduce speed to 45 mph ... then he should clutch and change from 4th to third gear which would be the gear for his new speed. Applying clutch depends on speed after braking.

You don't always apply clutch while braking. Even if you are coming to a halt, you need to apply the brakes first and apply the clutch only at the point of the car coming to complete stop to avoid stalling, at which point you also change to lower gears or neutral. If you're not coming to a complete stop, you apply the clutch only when you want to change to the appropriate gear.

You brake first when slowing down, clutch down when you what to change to another gear higher or lower and when you are about to come to a complete stop. Braking and pressing brake pedal is for slowing down as with every car be it auto or manual.
Bad practice is when people clutch before braking. It doesn’t work that way

Always brake first before clutching if you are about slowing down. Only on an accidental emergency cases you have to brake and clutch almost simultaneously so the car doesn’t Off on you during a proposed accident or hit

they are doing so because it's cheap to use manual for transportation than auto. Auto is costly.
