If the cable is loose, the car will roll, and shifting to neutral (N) gear won't help. Only shifting to park (P) gear will lock the driveshaft and prevent rolling. Below is an introduction to the N gear: 1. Introduction: The N gear is one of the three standard gears in automatic transmission vehicles, located between the R (reverse) and D (drive) gears on the gearshift console. Its essence is the neutral gear in the transmission, designed to cut off power transmission between the input and output shafts inside the transmission. 2. Purpose: In automatic transmission vehicles, shifting to N gear interrupts power transmission, with effects similar to shifting to neutral in manual transmissions, though there are some differences. 3. Method: Under safe conditions, any forward gear can be shifted to N gear at any time. However, shifting from P or R gear to N gear requires pressing the brake first.

Can I directly apply for the A3 license?

You can directly apply for the A3 driver's license. The requirements for an A3 license are: be at least 21 years old, you can obtain the license directly, or have held any driver's license for at least one year without any full-score penalty record, and register for training in your registered residence location. However, it is recommended that if time and other conditions permit, you should upgrade to an A1 license instead of an A3. Relevant information: 1. Time: According to Article 27, Clause 3 of the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Driver's Licenses' and the 'Motor Vehicle Driver Training Outline,' the training duration for A1 and A3 is exactly the same. 2. Permitted vehicle types: The A1 license permits driving A1, A3, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, and M vehicles; the A3 license permits driving A3, C1, C2, C3, and C4 vehicles. Therefore, it is important to know that an A3 license does not permit driving large passenger vehicles (A1), medium-sized passenger vehicles (B1), or large trucks (B2). 3. License upgrade issue: The only way to upgrade to a large passenger vehicle (A1) or a tractor (A2) license is through B1 and B2 licenses. If you do not have a B license, even if you have an A3 license, you will still need to upgrade through B1 and B2 licenses to obtain an A1 or A2 license in the future. 4. Article 22 of the 'Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law' stipulates: The probationary period is 12 months. During the probationary period, motor vehicle drivers are not allowed to drive buses, passenger vehicles for hire, or vehicles such as police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and engineering rescue vehicles on duty, as well as motor vehicles carrying explosives, flammable and explosive chemicals, highly toxic or radioactive materials, and other hazardous items; the driven motor vehicle is not allowed to tow a trailer.

How to Drive a Manual Transmission Car in Congested Areas?

In congested areas, the driving method for a manual transmission car is to use the half-clutch technique. The half-clutch technique refers to operating the car in idle speed in 1st gear without pressing the accelerator, controlling the speed by adjusting the depth of the clutch pedal with the left foot. A manual transmission is a manual gearbox, and its working principle is: by using the gear shift fork to change the transmission ratio of the meshing gears, thereby altering the driving torque to suit different working conditions. The method to start a manual transmission car is: 1. Fully depress the clutch pedal; 2. Push the gear lever to engage the 1st gear as the starting gear; 3. Gently press down the turn signal lever to activate the left turn signal, indicating the front and rear of the vehicle; 4. Press the horn button to alert pedestrians in front of the vehicle that you are about to start; 5. Release the vehicle's handbrake; 6. Slowly lift the left foot until the clutch is in the half-clutch state, and the vehicle begins to vibrate slightly; 7. As the vehicle starts to move, release the clutch and gently press the accelerator.
