A Ground that is "Topographic" in shape Oh Brother!

Kachisbarbie:

I do my best.

Not too long ago, we (my colleague and I) riding on our project vehicle (a manual transmission Mitsubishi truck) to one of our sites, entered a discussion.

We talked about where the correct position of the gear should be when a manual transmission car is at parking state.

I am of the opinion that the gear position should be at No 1 (gear one). My reason is for the gear to give the car a second stationary protection (A backup to the handbrake).

Recall that when a car (manual gear system) is at rest (not started) at any gear position without clutching down, it is next to impossible to set that car on motion manually (giving the car a push or pull)

He, on the contrary is of the opinion that the gear position should be Neutral. That the handbrake should be sufficient to ensure a no motion state at parking position.

What of if the handbrake fails?

I decided to bring it here to get more insight on this subject.

Lalasticlala, give it a push.

Lanretoye:
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.

kokaneprodigy:

Handbrake locks only the rear wheels dude,stop spewing trash.
Get a car that comes with d owner's manual or better still u can download one for Ur car All the cars I've driven come with one the only one that didn't I downloaded from the manufacturer's website. Read, read use ur brain.
Smh he calls me a novice, keep displaying your ignorance.

linearity:
Why will you want to still be putting load on your gear system when the vehicle is at rest and parked?

The gear will now be carrying load the load of your entire car, overtime this will adversely affect the gear system, put the car in neutral and engage the hand break if you need torque against any unanticipated motion.

Abeg how can i get the identity if the owner of a particular phone number.

I'm chatting with one f.oolish scammer. He revealed himself as Senator Bukola Saraki. He asked if I needed a job with the Nigerian customs. I answered yes.

Then he told me to contact one Alhaji. He gave the phone number.


I'll like to get the true identity if the owner of the number so i can take appropriate legal measures.

I'll reveal the screenshots of our chat session on a thread soon.

kokaneprodigy:

Even if it doesn't come with ur car.
You can download one from the manufacturer's site free.
Its just laziness to read they prefer listening to their Kazeem.
Imagine Derkaiser insisting handbrake locks all four wheels, an embarrassment he can just save himself by using Google.

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.

I think I learnt some things

jnrbayano:

Be my guest

jnrbayano:


I disagree.

He must have his own opinion. He is human like you and I.

DerKaiser:


That is only if you are parked on a steep or slopy hill otherwise you are perfectly okay to disengage your handbrake before applying the first gear to take off if on a flat surface.

professore:

I don't understand

"I think I learnt some things"

jnrbayano:


In British English, "be my guest" is something you say when you give someone ​permission to do or use something.

Recall you said,

Comprehend?

When parking downhill it should be on Reverse and Hand break, any other state of parking (uphill or flatland) should be on gear 1 and hand break. Check Car manuals and driving school books. Professional manual driver speaking here.
