I heard about this, but I never found out how you actually do it. I was told it was the way to stop your car if the brakes had failed. Not that it would do me any good: I usually drive an automatic.
It's 30, 60 or 70 if you're in a car. In built-up areas, it's 30mph (I think "built-up" is defined the spacing of the street lights). On a motorway or dual carriageway (with a centre barrier) it's 70mph. Otherwise, it's 60mph.
It's lower for coaches, trucks and cars towing caravans.

Doubling your clutch was used on the old crash boxes Studio, you depressed the clutch, knocked the stick into neutral then depress the clutch again a engage the gear, this was used before gears for synchronised, I still did it up to stopping driving especially changing down.
Neil I think the speed limit sign means 30 maximum
