In an emergency, such as a deer running into the middle of the road you would have to obviously stop in order to prevent hitting it. This means that the way you carry out an emergency stop is important because the maneuver has to be carried out safely.
To carry out an emergency stop you must:
-Keep both hands on the steering wheel, trying to prevent the car from skidding.
-You then need to put your right foot on the brake pedal firmly and quickly, so that the car rapidly slows down in speed.
-Then your left foot needs to press down on the clutch pedal straight to the floor in order for the car to come to a complete stop and preventing the engine from stalling.
In an emergency stop you don't look at the middle mirror before carrying out the emergency stop, because in an emergency you should be more concerned with the hazard in front of you then what's going on behind you.
So remember in an emergency:
-Both hands on steering wheel.
-Right foot on brake pedal- firmly and quickly.
-Then quickly left foot on clutch pedal.
