Should I engage the handbrake when shifting to N gear at a red light?

[McMaya]

When waiting at a red light, you don't have to engage the handbrake after shifting to N gear. N gear stands for neutral, primarily used for brief stops when the driver remains in the vehicle. Shifting to N gear directly cuts off power output, and while engaging the handbrake at this point adds an extra layer of safety, the vehicle can remain stationary even without it. Situations for using N gear: 1. It can be used when parking and turning off the engine; 2. After parking and turning off the engine, if you need to slightly adjust the car's position, you can shift into N gear, release the handbrake, and then push the car slightly; 3. In case of a breakdown requiring towing, you can shift into N gear and have the car towed by a tow truck; 4. If the engine stalls unexpectedly while driving, you should first shift into N gear before restarting the engine.
