you wrong. emergency situation is brake and clutch at the same time so you dont stall the car.

you people dont know how to drive

quoting another nob skull


This is how we were thought in the UK
How do you perform an emergency stop?

Make sure to drive at a suitable speed for the road you are driving on. Mirrors are the least priority during this maneuver as they would increase your reaction time which will increase your overall stopping distance. Quick reaction time is crucial during the emergency stop.
When the examiner says “STOP”, release the gas pedal, tighten your grip on the steering wheel, brake firmly and progressively (harder than normal but do not slam on the brake pedal). Press the clutch down straight after to prevent the car from stalling. Stalling during an emergency stop will not result in a test failure, but it is good not to stall if you can help it.

yes its how we were thought I n the Uk and they created Driving standards in the world.The bit I quoted was from a UK driving school on how emergency braking is carried out in order to pass the test.its as simple as that brake 1st then clutch after!
and cos you were claiming British I went to look into your profile and found out you are Lekki444, you see your life

This thread is a very funny one sha. Manual transmission is bliss anyway. Na just say traffic and bad road no Dey let us shine.

Last year,I wanted to buy a manual car just for the fun of drifting,I later gave a sec thought, pot holes,bad roads,impatient cab and bus drivers,mad trucks everywhere,traffic. Omo na auto abeg

so where did I go wrong coz am so scared of driving now. I had a terrible accident on my way to deliver wears to my customers just before Easter. An hausa bike rider just bumped unto my lane and we all landed into a ditch. Till date, I can't tell if it was the clutch or brake that I used but I know I panicked coz it was unexpected. Till date I still shudder at the thought of driving , the car too was badly damaged. Problems will just pack themselves like sardine. I believe when everything gets better , I will never drive myself again

Sorry for the occurrence.
Anything could have happened that day. In such a case, there are different possibilities.

1. If you stepped on the clutch because that's what you've been used to, but you were unable to quickly apply the brake being that you weren't composed anymore because of panic, then you turned the steering towards the ditch from reflex action, it's possible to land in the ditch.

2. If you stepped on the brake partially and steered towards the ditch, it's still the same result.

3. But if you stepped completely on the brake to stop the car, depending on your speed and gear you're driving on and you were not able to press the clutch immediately after the brake. The car would have jerked and stopped, while your body would have been thrown towards the dashboard if you didn't use the seat belt.
From the few things you narrated here, shows either 1 or 2 is likely what happened.

I believe it's no 1. I panicked. It was terrible. I still shudder whenever I remember it

I forgot to say, you shouldn't have driven a manual car in the first place. Automatic cars are more suited for women not manual cars.
Please when next you'll be driving, endeavour to get an automatic car.

Clutch and brake to slow down

you don't know how to drive at all. You brake then clutch to change to a lower gear if you want to slow down
