    See red light - push clutch in, change into neutral and coast to a stop - use your brakes to slow down to a stop - rather than the engine. Also don't sit at the traffic lights in gear with your foot on the clutch pedal - sit in netural. Then put into first as lights are about to change green.

    I know this is different to what most driving instructors in Victoria teach for those going for their P plates. They say you must always be in gear otherwise you are not in "control" of the car. Nonsense. They also say you should gear down to a stop - ie 4 to 3 to 2 to 1.
