Automatic transmission D gear idling without moving the car could be due to the handbrake not being released, a faulty gear position sensor unable to detect the current gear, insufficient transmission fluid preventing effective power transfer, or the brakes not being released or locked up, making the car unable to move. Automatic transmission typically refers to the car's automatic gear-shifting mechanism, where the automatic transmission's control system selects the appropriate gear based on the engine's speed and load during driving, replacing the driver's subjective judgment and gear-shifting operations. Common automatic transmission cars have six gear positions, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L.

How to Buy Insurance for a Second-hand Car That Has Just Been Transferred?

After the original owner of a second-hand car that has just been transferred completes the cancellation procedures for the insurance, the new owner can then go to any insurance company to reapply for car insurance. Below are the relevant details: 1. Required insurance: Compulsory traffic insurance must be purchased as it is a mandatory insurance stipulated by national law. Additionally, commercial insurance such as vehicle damage insurance, third-party liability insurance, and no-deductible insurance are highly recommended. 2. Regulations: The new "Insurance Law" stipulates that the new owner can directly inherit the insurance of the original owner without having to go to the insurance company to complete the transfer procedures. It also stipulates that after the vehicle is transferred, the original owner or the new owner should promptly notify the insurance company. Since the transfer of the vehicle may increase the risk level, the insurance company can increase the insurance premium or terminate the contract within 30 days according to the contract agreement.

What are the reasons for the car rolling back in Subject 2?

There are two main reasons for the car rolling back in Subject 2: rolling backward and stalling. Below are detailed explanations and solutions: 1. Rolling backward: When parking on a slope, even if the handbrake is pulled, the car may roll backward once the foot brake is released, which is caused by the handbrake not being tightened sufficiently. Solution: To prevent the car from rolling backward. When starting the vehicle, slowly release the clutch with the left foot. When the front of the car noticeably shakes, gradually release the brake with the right foot. Once the brake is fully released, slightly lift the clutch a little more with the left foot and hold it steady. Then, release the handbrake with the right hand, and the car will start moving forward. 2. Stalling: When starting the car on a slope, if the left foot releases the clutch too quickly, the car will stall. Releasing the clutch too quickly is the root cause of engine stalling. Solution: To prevent the car from stalling. When starting the vehicle, the left foot must slowly release the clutch and pause at the semi-engaged position. Once the clutch reaches the semi-engaged position, keep it steady, then gradually release the brake with the right foot.
