No need to double clutch unless you are driving a tractor or semi truck. Huge annoying misconception popularized by a Need for Speed Movie by clueless Hollywood directors... Modern day cars have synchronizers in their transmissions. You can double clutch, but it's counterproductive and somewhat obsolete.

As one person puts it:
"Double clutching is used by truck drivers because most semi-truck manual transmisisons don’t have synchronizers. They double clutch so that the pressure plate completely disengages to disconnect the engine from the trans in which lets them shift gears. "
