It is worse to leave the car on drive for long while stationary as this may heat up the transmission fluid. Then the D may start flashing/blinking on the dashboard. autojosh: |

D Park/Neutral and handbrakes aren't there for fancy.. No one can be totally prepared for an emergency dats y it's called an emergency in d first place. If u're not worried about the parking Pawl everytime u start ur ignition and have to drive, why worry about a few traffic stops. Gearbox issues doesn't arise from constantly engaging ur Park gear. |

Uncle, I disagree with you completely. Even the parking pawl you are trying to consider are built to serve the vehicle throughout it life time. Only God knows where you got this wrong info from. The white men that built the vehicle recommend you engage "P" position (parking position) in any of the condition you just spelt out above. Please read your Vehicle Owners Utility Manual before you start given people wrong information. Thank you!!! 4 Likes |

what a nice and very informative piece. I'm fond of matching the brake for some times but when the wait is getting longer than my I can endure, I use park mostly. I use neutral on rare occasions.

Seunolad1: I'm sure you know cars vary, right? and "P or N" can sit in the middle between "R" and 'D'? http://cdn.eurekar.co.uk/uploads/images/large/aurishybridgearlever.jpg Before flying into unbalanced conclusions. 1 Like |

I rather put my gear in the Neutral mode and apply brake, even if i am going to spend 10minutes in the traffic. I dislike switching from park to drive, I have once put the gear in reverse mode when i was still a learner , unfortunately it was around 8pm. I hit the car behind me, Street boys saved my ass that day. They were all shouting - why did you follow him bumper-2-bumper when you can see he is a learner |

It all depends, if traffic flow is between a few seconds to a minute or two, I break down normal, if traffic increases to about 3 to 4 minutes, I place on neutral, if traffic is getting to 10minutes and more Park is more appropriate. 1 Like |

When in traffic I engage just Neutral on the flat surface and release brakes but on slopes, I engage the handbrake and neutral then release brakes |

NOETHNICITY:I think you are on about something different . If it's parking on a slop you are on about then the correct way is to park . Put gear on nutral and steer your wheels to the kerb . |
