Which Gear is the Reverse Gear in an Automatic Car?

[VonQuinn]

In an automatic car, the reverse gear is marked as 'R'. When reversing, if you need to press the accelerator, it's essential to do so gently and avoid pressing it hard. This precaution is primarily for safety reasons, as you may not have a clear and immediate view of what's behind you while reversing. Pressing the accelerator forcefully in such a situation can easily lead to accidents. It's advisable to avoid using the accelerator while reversing if possible, relying mainly on idle speed. Other gears in an automatic car include: 1. 'P' (Parking Gear): Engage this gear after parking to apply the brakes and prevent the car from rolling, used when the vehicle is completely stopped; 2. 'N' (Neutral Gear): Typically used when waiting at traffic lights, during startup, towing, or temporary stops; 3. 'D' (Drive Gear): Also known as the driving gear, used when moving the car forward.
