Well technically I don't knw,but I am used to hand brake and gear 1... Come to think of it,if neutral or/and handbrake position is enough to station the vehicle in all cases,then why do automatic transmission vehicles come with park,neutral and hand brake too. |

this is one of the reason i believe my uncle is stupid till date, he insulted me for using handbrake when i helped him to park his manual Peugeot boxer bus on a flat road, he asked me for the key and i gave it to him without telling him i had used the handbrake because it is a normal thing to me, when he got to where i parked the vehicle, he started firing and screeching the tires until it became so hot and some guys had to help me pushed it out, still he didn't know he only need to just release the hand brake! He drove the car for about 6mins when sometime like Tyre started smelling and he called a mechanic, who told him the vehicle has not been pulling well because of the handbrake has not been deactivated! you wont believe he disagree about pulling hand brake whenever you park your manual transmission! i tried to educate him but he still of opinion that it is wrong using handbrake, he felt its okay to just put the car in neutral and leave it so. this is someone who doesn't use gear to station car oo 2 Likes |

jnrbayano: Well, OP you are right. There are instances when the parking brakes could slip. So an engaged gear gives added protection. Now there is also another thing. Parking on slopes especially when there is kerb at the sides of the road. If you park alongside a kerb and you are facing downhill, your wheels should be turned towards the kerb. If you are facing uphill, then they should be turned away from the kerb. Always ensure that your steering has engaged its lock before leaving your vehicle. |

kokaneprodigy: You never can tell, he may be driving his great grandfather's car. There was actually a time when parking brakes used to lock front wheels too but those days are long gone now. On another note he may be confusing parking brakes with the park mode of an auto trans. In that case the park mode locks the moving wheels of the car. (FWD locks the front, RWD locks the rear, AWD locks all four) |

This is exactly what I want to say. Had similar argument with my younger sister last week. Just put the the car on neutral position with your hand break simple. I keep saying to my hubby that there is a big difference btw drivers that actually attended a driving school and those that didn't. linearity: |

DerKaiser: It's not the right thing to do sir. Driving is serious business and it has rules guiding it. The standard practice is engage your gear befor disengaging your parking break irrespective of the surface. If you do this you are doing the right thing. In the same vein, you engage your parking break befor you disengage your gear with your leg on the break pedal in park position. This is the standard practice. The reason is when u finally release the break pedal, the parking break is already engaged. This will put no pressure on the gear in automatic transmission no matter the surface , while in manual transmission you do not need the gear engaged in park position. 1 Like |

Re: Car Parking Position. Neutral Or On Gear? by Nobody: 9:45pm On Jan 05, 2016 |
Vehicle should be left in gear when parked to complement the handbrakes. BTW, Who starts a manual vehicle without verifying gear position? Moreso your brake pedals should be pressed before starting a vehicle irrespective of the transmission type, so I see no unintended jumping being permitted to occur to catastrophic extents even if you accidentally started a manual car in gear. 1 Like |
