Auto Car what to do when Stop at traffic light

[Ev0lutionz]

Shift to N, save petrol..

[Beng2]

I don't have Class 3A license.

What I do for my auto car is to step on the brakes with transmission still in D. If it is a long wait, I will pull my handbrake with the transmission still in D.

 

i normally step on brake n "D" mode... if too long jam... i push all the way to "P" n stop ther...

It baffles me why drivers of auto cars (especially taxi drivers and lady drivers) like to put to P when waiting at the lights. Why can just put to N and pull the handbrake if it is that tiring to step on the brakes? Why go all the way to P? It wears out the trasmission fast.

Just step on the footbrakes. That'll reduce the wear and tear on your auto gearbox.

Stop on brake pedal thia, what else you want to do?

Hi bro, driving school teaches their students to leave in "D" and step on brake when at redlight. Stopping on slope to leave in "D" and release foot brake after pulling hand brake. Only shift to "P" and pull hand brake when going to stop for a long time(waiting for friend for example)

 

Hope this helps.

I think what TS is looking for are drivers with class "3A" license to share what was taught in driving school.

 

Me, me, me . . I got class "3A"

 

My instructor said to step on brake pedal and scratch balls until lights turn green but I only do the first part

yeeee?? my instructor last time never asked me to scratch ball ler, but he asked me to count my pubic hair while stepping on brake pedal and stopping at traffic light junction.....

 

maybe scratch ball is not standard instruction kua, coz lady driver got no ball to scratch....

I'll be your vehicle commander lor

[Jamstart]

Doesnt matter guy or lady, the instructor is asking to scratch his balls.

[Thypig33]

But engine still running what, why need shift to N?

 

For me, i will just step on brake lightly to stop the car, even if jam, just footbrake.

guys got lower ballzz and gal got upper

eh.. put to N or P, pull or step on hand/foot brake..

 

then open door, take out 2 brick.

 

1 put in front wheel, 1 at the rear wheel..

 

then go back to car and put on seatbelt in case there's rear impact on cars that don't stop...

 

when lights about to turn green, remove seat belt, get off car and take away the 2 bricks..

 

then go back car, put on seatbelt, check mirror, see hair messy anot, then step on brake, remove hand/foot brake.. and finally, put to D and drive off when it turn green..

 

but I think by the time you finish, the light shd be turning red again

BTW, putting at D and using only your handbrake to stop the car might not be ideal..
