Can You Park Directly in a High Gear?

[OConnor]

Yes. However, it is best to park in first gear on flat roads; use a forward gear when parking on an uphill slope and reverse gear when parking on a downhill slope. Additional information: Gear and speed should match: When the speed reaches 25 mph, you can shift to gear 3 (if the speed is much higher than 25, such as 35 mph, and you then shift to gear 3, you will clearly hear the engine making a loud noise, similar to revving in neutral. The same applies if the speed is much higher than 35 mph when shifting to gear 4). When the speed reaches 35 mph, you can shift to gear 4. This refers to the minimum speed requirement, not the maximum speed, which can be much higher and is not relevant for tests. If the speed does not meet the above requirements, gear dragging or stalling may occur.
