Should You Shift to Neutral or Engage the Handbrake First When Parking?

1 Answers

When parking a car, the standard procedure is to engage the handbrake first after stopping, then shift to neutral. Here are some additional details: 1. Handbrake: The technical term for the handbrake is auxiliary brake. Unlike the main braking system, it uses a cable connected to the rear brake shoes to stop the vehicle. Prolonged use of the handbrake can cause the cable to undergo plastic deformation. Since this deformation is irreversible, long-term use may reduce its effectiveness and increase the handbrake's travel distance. 2. Neutral Gear: This generally refers to the state where the vehicle's gear lever is not engaged in any forward or reverse gear, completely separating the transmission from the drive wheels. In manual transmissions, the neutral position is in the middle, while in automatic transmissions, it is marked with an 'N'.

How is the speed rating classification for car tires divided?

Letters on car tires represent speed ratings, denoted by E, F, G, J, K, L, M, N, P, Q, S, T, U, H, V, W, Y, and Z. Each letter corresponds to a different speed grade. Below are the maximum driving speeds represented by these letters: 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 180, 190, 200, 210, 240, 270, and 300 kilometers per hour, respectively. The higher the speed rating of a tire, the greater the maximum speed it can withstand, and the stronger the tire's grip during driving. However, tires with higher speed ratings tend to have poorer wear resistance. This is because higher-speed-rated tires use softer materials, resulting in a gradually shortened service life.

How to Drive in a Roundabout?

When motor vehicles pass through a roundabout, they must always travel in a counterclockwise direction around the circular island facility and exit at the desired direction. On the lanes within large roundabouts, there are generally separation zones to facilitate separate driving for motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles. Vehicles making a right turn must enter and drive in the right lane, while vehicles going straight or making a left turn must enter and drive in the left lane. Before entering a roundabout, motor vehicles must slow down in a timely manner. When entering the roundabout, the left turn signal must be activated in advance, and the vehicle should wait for an opportunity to enter the right lane.
