Will There Be Damage If Rear-Ended in P Gear?

[McMatteo]

There will be damage if rear-ended in P gear. Here is extended information about car gears: 1. P Gear: P gear is the parking gear for automatic transmission vehicles, also known as the parking lock. It generally achieves the parking effect through the interaction between the parking pawl (hook) and the parking gear (wheel with notches on the outer edge). 2. N Gear: N gear is the neutral gear. When shifted into N gear, there is no locking mechanism to lock the automatic transmission gears. At this time, the car can move without engaging the handbrake. 3. L Gear: L gear is mainly used for going up and down slopes. In fact, most automatic transmission cars do not have this gear. This is not due to incomplete car functionality but because it is rarely used. Users with L gear will find driving smoother when going up and down slopes by shifting into L gear. 4. R Gear (Reverse): Used for reversing the vehicle. Usually, you need to press the safety button on the shift lever to move it to the "R" gear. It is important to note: when the vehicle has not completely stopped, you must not force it into the "R" gear, otherwise the transmission will be severely damaged. 5. D Gear (Drive): Used for normal road driving. Due to different designs in various countries, the "D" gear generally includes gears from 1 to the highest or from 2 to the highest, and it will automatically shift gears based on speed and load changes. By placing the shift lever in the "D" gear, the driver can control the speed simply by adjusting the throttle pedal.
