Even just lightly resting your foot against the pedal can wear your clutch out prematurely. Cruising on the highway: remove your foot from the clutch pedal and rest it on the floor. Sitting at the lights: put the car in neutral and release the clutch. Put your foot on the floor until you’re ready to go. Also, it’s ok to coast to a stop with the clutch pedal depressed, but you have much more control if you downshift to a stop and you will extend the life of your brakes, too.
I’m really angry. My oldest son’s school sent me an email this afternoon lecturing me on his attendance and how it affects his grades and how it makes the school look bad, etc…
We had a few weeks off earlier this year when my grandfather and my mother-in-law died (both suddenly and unexpectedly) within two weeks of each other.
My younger son’s school offered assistance, counselling and anything else that they could think of to offer. They were very supportive. My older son’s school has just berated us for grieving and supporting each other, our friends and our family. I’m so fucking angry. They know that bereavement was the reason for his absence. Cunts.
