Question 5540
How should you reduce your speed?
- By shifting to lower gears and using the foot brake.
- With the parking brake.
- With the foot brake while pressing the clutch.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: By shifting to lower gears and using the foot brake.
To slow down, you apply the foot brake gradually and shift to lower gears when appropriate so the engine also helps slow the car. With the clutch pedal pressed down, the engine no longer helps slow the car, and the parking brake is for keeping the car from moving.
