Manual drivers are better drivers

True talk and that is why you are asked to learn with manual car. If eventually you learnt with automatic my brother the day you will use manual at first, a learner will even be better than you.

OP said when slowing down, which connotes that the vehicle is on high speed....so in such situation, you need to first apply the brake....no other way around this....

kingreign:
Brake first, when you’re almost coming to a stop, clutch, then downshift.
This will put less stress and wear and tear to the clutch plate and discs components. When you clutch first then start braking, you may not had fully clutched to disengage the gear and this will put stress and rapid wear and tear to the clutch plate and disc.

Am sure you are part of those that design the car. You are absolutely correct �. Most drivers don't know this

It's clutch first before the break. If you match the break without first engaging the clutch the car will jerk and stop

fake driver

Though I am not a better driver, everyone is right on the issue, it just depends on the circumstance and speed you are that warrant you to bring the vehicle to a stop. Using the break or applying the clutches is totally to your best calculation.

well see if you break first, without disengaging the gear from the engine with the clutch, you will destroy your gear system very quickly. the best way to protect your car from expensive repairs is to clutch first so as to disengage the gear from the engine, and now with your feet firmly on the clutch you can then break and slow the car down to desired speed after which you then shift gear to match the desired seed. this how you save your self from destroying your gear

Omihanifa:

This is for gear 1 only o or sudden halt where you need the break and clutch.


Break first to slow down
Clutch to downshift gear or reduce speed further or stop

This is for slowing down sha

When the brake fails what would you suggest ?

RuneKingThor:

S
Put gear in Neutral and then apply hand break.
Never put of the engine as it makes the streering unresponsive.

@RuneKing
You know the idea of neutral isn't always perfect...
What if its a downward sloppy road?

When automatic transmission full everywhere

Lol. You will hold clutch first when the car is Manuel. Because if you just hold brake first the car will automatically off. So is clutch first. Thanks

Depends on the speed you are driving at.
Depends on how you take dey match am,some people dey match am like se na their village people dem dey match

This depends on the speed...

Highs speed, brake then clutch when you're almost at a zero speed. But if you're in a bear zero speed, maybe snail speed, your clutch is the answer

Very important point actually. The post below will be the best thing to do if break fails.

fullnetwork:

It's better to gradually downshift to higher gears (4-3-2-1)...
It stalls the car better that neutral.

arantess:

I had a brake failure once

It was "engine braking" that did for me

Reducing gears from top to low gear, at each gear shift, the engine roars like a lion.

The most difficult part was staying calm and composing oneself

That calmness is very important.

Omihanifa:
It's clutch first before the break. If you match the break without first engaging the clutch the car will jerk and stop

So you'll be on highway, gear 5...to slow down you'll press clutch first. Wrong

Candidlady:


ihave never driven manual before.. but there's something bout em that fascinates me ... changing of gears !!! gear shifters always feel like they are better drivers than those who only knows how to drive auto


igot a question.. not related to the topic... can one drift with a car is automatic?

Of course they're better drivers. You're not a driver until you know how to change gears. Nobody will employ you as a driver if you can't change gears because the need can arise at any time. If you can't change gears then you didn't go through driving school.

Omihanifa:

No.. u will first engage the breaks gradually then apply the clutch eventually before it gets to the point of jerking.

Mental illness indeed. Isn’t that how they all do? I am yet to see one that didn’t pull that stunt of shining teeth after extreme toxicity and attack.
