Which gear should be used when waiting at a traffic light?
1 Answers
When waiting at a traffic light, you can use the P gear or N gear for the following reasons: 1. The P gear, or parking gear, is suitable when the car needs to stop for a while. However, in the P gear state, the wheels are locked. If the car is rear-ended, the damage to the transmission can be imagined. Additionally, when restarting, shifting gears requires passing through the reverse gear, which can easily lead to accidents if there is an operational error. 2. Most recommendations suggest using the N gear along with the handbrake. The N gear refers to the neutral gear, also known as the no-gear position. The neutral gear is located between the reverse gear and the drive gear on the car's gearshift. The difference between the P gear and N gear is that the N gear allows for complete separation of the transmission, reducing concerns about damaging the car.
