Clutch is for manual cars. And manual cars are old school na. undecided

Today 99% of cars on our roads are automatic, so they don't come with clutch.

Which means to stop the car you must first remove your leg from the accelerator, then step on the brakes slowly until the car stops, and finally move your gear to P (park) turn off your engine and call it a day.
You outdated by saying manual is old.... My dodge car, chev, and my new acquired 2019 lambo all manual, come to USA, 90 %of cars are manuals, na all this cheap Japanese cars you guys driving down there, I don't patronize Japanese, is life threatening, automatic is for handicapped

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

This amateur has been driving for over a decade without issue. Do what works for you. All I know is that slowing down is different from parking or bringing the vehicle to a halt. Probably you need to look at the topic again or asked for interpretation.

O wrong Now!
Stop hyping your errors in driving. Don't you know pressing break on the motion without pressing clutch affect the car engine and you risk control of steering and other glitches grin grin
Is it automatic car grin
Afterall Nigeria is ridden with fake drivers! Driving for a long period of time does not make you a qualified driver! You can doing the wrong thing routinely and yet to unlearn it grin grin

Automatic transmission has eliminated that dilemma since 1980. Suffer head no dey taya una?

Nigerians just like to rate sufferhead. While driving a manual is good as you are equipped to handle every driving situation, it doesn’t mean one can’t drive if you only know automatic. I can’t remember the last time I saw anyone with a manual car around me. However, I have had an emergency situation where I had to drive a manual and that was even 6 years ago.

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

How can you think of applying break or clutch when you want to stop? Just apply gear and see the car come to a grand halt.

Now I never get bra size, but the other day, you were certain I was a divorced home-wrecker looking for company?

What a pathetic-cum-shameless attention-seeking loser.

Driving a car is an experience that requires you to multi-task. As you sit in the driver’s seat for the very first time, you might begin to feel overwhelmed with all the rules that you have to remember.

So let experience Driver teach us this simple question.

When slowing down is it clutch or break first?

Brake alone When slowing down; clutch before brake when stopping

Really?
The cat only jerks when d rpm is below 2k in most cases.
If I'm cruising on 40km/h and above, I have no business with the clutch.
When d rpm to around 2000, then I can engage d clutch.
You can also disengage d gear totally sef if you r good at it.

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