OK if in neutral, but the car's supplementary braking system must be in order, I mean OK. This will abate you off the risk of gear-ware resulting from shifts in the followers teeth. But you must not put your car into park whence the supplementary braking system popularly called hand-brake is bad. 1 Like |

Well i used to think putting a car on gear when parked is wrong and probably a naija way of doing things until i wrote the canada's knowledge test on driving and licence and it was categorically stated that if you are parking on a slope, you can put your gear on 1 and make sure the wheel are turned to face the safety zone i.e if theres a curb beside your park zone, turn the wheel until the tire touches the curb, if no curb, turn the tires away from traffic just for safety reasons. But if the ground is level, you can leave it on neutral 4 Likes |

Cars are meant to be parked with the gear on neutral. The design of gear was not meant to hold cars anywhere, not even on downhill or uphill. That is the function of the handbrake. Its only in Nigeria that most of our manual cars then don't have handbrake. Engaging your gear when car is parked is not safety best practice and it mounts pressure on the engine. Have you noticed that if you pack a car without handbrake on a very steepy ground, sometimes it rolls the engine and tends to jark move, that's why out Nigerian dudes use a wadge to hold the tyre of such car. Its not good for your engine's life. Use your hand brake alone. If it gets bad, pls repair it. 1 Like |

I always felt people that park their cars in gear got handbrake issues. I park with neutral though, and pull my handbrake. It never failed me, but when I go my village_ our house is on a hill, I park with neutral, pull handbrake then put two very big stones in front of my tyres. |

linearity:I disagree In car owner's manual of cars with manual transmission , manufacturers advise owner to engage gear 1 when parked. Reason modern cars with manual transmission don't start unless you clutch down cos they believe the gear should be engaged when parked. Unless you want to tell me you know more than the manufacturers. 6 Likes |

Dething:Can you back this up with technical facts.? Have you ever heard of engine braking? Car manufacturers even advise the use of engine braking cos it let's your conventional brake pads last longer. What I see here are people that are not vast on how automobiles work commenting. The fact that you own a car doesn't mean you know about cars. 2 Likes 1 Share |

jnrbayano: Yea, for manual gears, you should always leave them in gear (gear 1 especially), not neutral, when parking, thus the car is left engaged and cannot be 'pushed' away in your absence. Never leave a manual gear car in neutral when parking or else it could easily be pushed away from its location in your absence. The disengagement state of manual cars while in neutral is another feature that enables it to be push-started if the engine fails to come on using the car key, especially when the battery is so low that it cannot start the car by itself and needs to be charged. Also holding down the clutch of the car while it is in gear also disengages the car. For those who aren't familiar with manual cars, 'push-starting' a manual gear car is done by leaving the gear in gear 1, 2 or reverse, having a few people push the car either forward or backwards, someone sits in the driver side and places his left leg on the clutch all the time the car is being pushed, and as the car gains some momentum as it is being pushed the driver immediately matches down on the throttle with his right leg while slowly releasing the clutch on your left leg at the same time and the car should automatically start, and the driver takes his leg off the clutch completely and revs the car severally using the throttle to charge up the battery and heat up the engine. This push-starting feature is not possible with most automatic gear cars. For automatic cars, there is a 'parking' gear used specifically for parking which manual cars don't have and this 'parking' gear in automatic cars achieves the same function as engaging a car in gear when parking it. To provide extra engagement, you engage the handbrake of either automatic or manual cars as well. 3 Likes 1 Share |

1stly you must consider the weight of the vehicle you drive and the condition of where to park; sloppy, bend etc. Basically you use ur high gear "1" and your hand break...but dia ar worse cases where you use ur high gear "1", hand break and additional stuff to support like stones, planks etc. That is when your vehicle is heavy or loaded...once you ar a professional driver with a common sense you should know what to do and what to apply at particular time 2 Likes 1 Share |

The best thing to do is use the gear and handbrake, every seasoned driver would always make sure the shift stick is on neutral before starting the car, if the car is manual, alternatively i wll add that you chain the vehicle to a gate or make sure you park into a gutter or pit close to ur house or office so that the vehicle remains stationary. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Gear 1 is appropriate for parking manual cars..this prevents the vehicle from moving, but attention should be paid to little details like parking position, direction of probable movement, et al. 1 Like 1 Share |

Re: Car Parking Position. Neutral Or On Gear? by DerKaiser: 11:07pm On Jan 04, 2016 |
The handbrake grips the four wheels of a car and immobilises them. It is sufficient to hold a car stationary for as long as possible. You do not need the gear system to immobilise a vehicle. The gear system's function is to regulate speed and not to hold a car in place. So your car should always remain in the neutral position when parked. If your handbrake is non-functional then your vehicle has no business being on the road with other cars. And No, securing a car with stones and wedges does not replace the function of a handbrake. A tip: It is safer to turn on your car engine before disengaging the handbrake (with a neutral gear of course). This prevents sudden and unexpected movement of the car. 1 Like |
