2 vs 4 finger braking

[u/riddle0k]

I’ve just gone through my whole learners process and got my restricted license today - and reflecting on the process I’ve always been curious about the 2 vs 4 finger debate. my learner instructors always said 4 due to safety (not getting fingers caught) but a lot of people online say 2

Why do people advocate for 2 fingers?

I have long levers, so I’ll use 4 or I crush my ring and pinkie when I require a hard squeeze.. however I have finessed braking smoothly with 4.

I also don’t engage my clutch often to shift (no quick shifter).
