Should You Engage the Handbrake or Shift Gears First When Starting a Car?

[SanIker]

When starting a car, you should shift gears first and then engage the handbrake. Here is some additional information about shifting gears: 1. Once you are familiar with the car and the driver's operation is sensitive, it is also possible to release the handbrake first and then shift gears. However, before releasing the handbrake, you need to step on the brake, then shift gears, release the brake, press the accelerator, and start the car. 2. Before starting the vehicle, ensure that either the handbrake or the brake is in working condition. This is because, in actual driving, it is often difficult for the driver to determine whether the road has a slope from inside the cabin. This operation can prevent the vehicle from rolling backward or sliding forward. When starting, remember to quickly accelerate the car and shift to second gear to avoid affecting the vehicles behind.
