Should You Shift to Neutral (N) at Traffic Lights?

[EliasLee]

Whether to shift to neutral (N) when stopping at a traffic light depends on the duration of the red light: 1. If the red light is less than 30 seconds, shifting to N is unnecessary; 2. If the red light lasts between 30 seconds and 1 minute, shift to N and engage the handbrake. Situations where shifting to N is appropriate include: 1. Short-term parking; 2. Towing due to a breakdown; 3. Starting and stopping the vehicle. An automatic transmission vehicle does not require the driver to manually shift gears; instead, the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. The gears in an automatic transmission include: 1. P (Park) for parking; 2. R (Reverse) for reversing; 3. N (Neutral) for neutral; 4. D (Drive) for forward movement; 5. M (Manual) for manual mode; 6. L (Low) for low-speed driving; 7. S (Sport) for sport mode.
