How to Stop at a Red Light with a Manual Transmission?
1 Answers
When stopping at a red light with a manual transmission, pay attention to the following: 1. Gear Shift: After stopping, shift into neutral and engage the handbrake to ensure the car does not move. 2. Brake Early: If your car is the first at the crosswalk, try to brake as early as possible to avoid stopping too close to the intersection, preventing potential scrapes with electric vehicles crossing the intersection, as such incidents are quite common. 3. Maintain Distance: Keep an appropriate distance from the car in front and check the side mirrors to prevent rear-end collisions. 4. Lane Selection: Before stopping at the red light, choose the correct lane (straight, left-turn, or right-turn) to avoid traffic violations.
