Holding down clutch is a bad habit of many people on M/T when stop, or coming to a stop with the brake and cluth pedal down at the same time.

Also keeping your foot on top of the clutch pedal while you drive.

I'm guilty of the above, often I find myself doing this more so when in small neighbourhoods and might be shifting between 2nd and having to come to a stop quickly....its like i hate the brake or something lol
