i think u are correct...Originally posted by sgboy2004:Hey, mi arguing wif mi friend ... mi friend learning driving.
mi friend said to stop car, must down 1 gear shift then brake e.g. At Gear 4, must down to Gear 3 then stop.
mi say must down to gear 1 then stop..e.g. Gear 3...must shift down to Gear 2 then gear 1 then stop...
Who is right? (except for emergency brake)
Mi right, right?
my instructor taught me u can actually stop in gear 3... no need so mafan shift all the way down.. also i seldom see people gearing down all the way to first gear before stopping..Originally posted by sgboy2004:Hey, mi arguing wif mi friend ... mi friend learning driving.

I guess its all up to the driving habits of the driver...
yah lor, Gear 1 got heavy engine brake mah, then better to slow car down and then stop mah...see, mi o level nia can think of this... mi friend University oso canot tink like miOriginally posted by Mospeada:i think u are correct...
not really, suppose u approaching ambient light, when u at gear 3, u can shift to gear 2 then brake slowly.Originally posted by sgboy2004:Hey, mi arguing wif mi friend ... mi friend learning driving.

i think when ur car stop, u must always position it to gear 1. last time me toopid forget to position to 1st gear, then start the car at 2nd or 3rd gear.Originally posted by sgboy2004:yah lor, Gear 1 got heavy engine brake mah, then better to slow car down and then stop mah...see, mi o level nia can think of this... mi friend University oso canot tink like mi
it's advisable to down one gear. but depend on road condition, if u going downslope, it's not advisable to down ur gear but brake at 3rd gear slowly.Originally posted by sgboy2004:so conclusion is wat? Shift down 1 gear? Or shift all the way down?
actually i got tis damn bad habit, everytime i shifted my gear, i tended to look at the gear n move my steering wheel to the left wifout realised it, kena scolded badly by instructors.Originally posted by tomsss:For me i would skip the 1st gear, cos unless you've got good foot control, it's like the same as doing a hard brake.... instead of pushing yr foot down, you release it
That just makes the brakes work harder.Originally posted by freakass:but now, i always let the car roll... tht's the best way to drive man!
correct!!!!Originally posted by tofushop193:shift down one gear can already...if at 4th change to 3rd
if at 3rd no need to change
ermmmmm.... tats wat i usually do...Originally posted by ditzy:My colleague lagi best, shift to neutral and freewheel all the way to red lights.![]()
