niceeric:a family friend of ours said if you are on auto transmission, you will have to engage the D1, D2 or D3 that its on the gear shift. D1 is when you are on normal motion, D2 is in case of emergency, that when you pull it to D2, it divides the speed by 2, same for D3 for vehicle that has it. That is, if you are on 120, your speeds break to 60 for D2 while it breaks to 40 for vehicle with D3 options. i dont know how true though, maybe someone can help with the use of those signals |

OlujobaSamuel:To some extent it is true but those Drive gears are speed limiters....like when u don't want to go beyond a certain speed,i dont know if they work when u lose your breaks though and not all cars av D1, D2, D3...D is the common one and I once used D1 though mistakenly once, I only noticed the car wasn't gaining good speed,the speed dropped after a few seconds of continuous has pedalling I'm not into auto trannys anyway,to me they suck... perhaps someone who has used those 'auxiliary' drive gears might b of help 1 Like |

I lov d topic ooo, because i've been driving a brakeless old kia jeep for over a month and i don repair am last-last sha presently. For an auto-spirit like me its cool n dangerous bt thats y its a car anywayz, so i really enjoyed it. Forget d apply handbrake bu**sh*t, e nor dey work oo, e go aggravate am nii because once u pull it down again d engine'll gather more speed. Also, dont put that car on neutral ooo, na God i take beg you oo, because neutral go jus free ur engine for d accident to happen surely surely oo. on a more serious note, pls repair that brake pad oo, dont be like me oo cos i just decided to try it for the experience ooo incase i find myself in such situatn to knw d diff tinx i can do.... and i do knw now. God's safety is ours in Jesus and Mohammed's name, Amen |

I remember wen myn happened. I was travelling into abuja just immediately after d last military check point befre abaji. Hmmm it wasn't funny God saved me wit calmness cos I was calm all tru even though my two sisters were already screaming. I just swaved to d right untarred side of d road filled wit gallops unfortunately ahead was a car being worked on by d owner nd a mechanic I cldnt hit dem, looked try my side mirrors nd swaved bk into d road after I past d vehicle I went bak to d side of d road and was shouting nd Horning for d small girls selling beside d road as d car got slower I just applied my emergency break nd shift d gear to park nd dat was it I didn't hit anyone or anything. I still tank God till today I was on 60km/h cos it wld hav been bad. Speed kills pple drive carefully nd always check ur breaks its very important 1 Like |
