Does Parking in First Gear Affect the Car?
1 Answers
Parking in first gear for an extended period can have a certain impact on the car's transmission, and there is a higher likelihood of stalling when restarting the engine due to being in first gear. Below are some parking precautions to note: 1. Do not leave the vehicle: Temporary roadside parking allows passengers to get on and off temporarily, and waiting for 2-3 minutes is generally fine. However, if surveillance footage shows the driver leaving the vehicle during roadside parking, even if the car is not turned off, it is mostly considered illegal parking. 2. Temporary parking should be within 5 minutes: Even if there is a temporary parking sign on the roadway, parking is strictly prohibited within the yellow grid lines on either side of the lane; otherwise, it is undoubtedly considered illegal parking. Although there may be some conflict between the two signs, it is an explicit traffic rule that parking is prohibited within yellow grid lines, and this is beyond doubt. 3. No-parking zones: Parking is not allowed within 30 meters of bus stops, emergency stations, gas stations, fire hydrants, or fire stations (except when using these facilities). Additionally, parking is prohibited at intersections, railway crossings, sharp curves, narrow roads less than 4 meters wide, bridges, steep slopes, tunnels, and within 50 meters of these locations.
