MotorGuru: The point of putting your gear in Neutral at a stoplight (the bone of contention here) instead of drive is the number 4 point he discussed in the video.
And it started from time 7:14. Fast forward to that time-frame and and watch from there.
Yes, he was saying Rev your car. If you don't engage ur car on hand brake at the red light, you will fail your driving test in the UK! Now explain to me how you rev your car by putting it in neutral and engaging ur hand brake?
You still don't get it, the guy is simply saying putting ur car in neutral and REV Guess who rev their car in neutral manual or Auto? answer KIDS At the red light, you put ur car on natural, tap your brake and engage your hand brake and rest your feet, this was why the brake.stop and start mechanism was invented.
MrYeezyB: Please can you shed more light on shifting to neutral in traffic? I often do it to ease the pressure off my leg and it seems to make the car idle gently. What do we do with the neutral gear?
This is what you are meant to do, so keep doing it if you can be bothered, people leave their car on the drive and push on break cos they learnt this bad practice and it is the norm
The L, 2 and D on the gear lever means something different from what you stated.
For instance engaging the L means you are limited to drive in the lowest gear ratio or gear 1. You can't go above gear 1.
Putting it in 2 does not mean you immediately start from second gear, it means you start from first gear as normal but you are limited to second gear. In other words you can't go beyond second gear.
Then putting it in D means all gear ratios are available for use.
The OP has no clue on how cars work, he just did copy and paste without researching what he copied!
lilkech: when I see cars stopping ahead I switch to neutral and coast to a stop behind the car in front. I then let go of brake (engaging the handbrake if car wants to roll). When cars move I disengage the handbrake and switch to drive to move to the next stop.
Since I learned this habit the only thing I noticed is that my right leg and my brake pedal have become enemies and my brake pads last almost 2X longer than before.
Maybe it’s because I drove manual for years before even seeing auto
cheliejelie: Sis i was born here and I have major plans on coming back and helping to fix the problems you're running away from. Canada hates immigrants too LMAO if you're as Canadian as you claim you should know about the immigration crisis. Stop feeding these poor girls lies
cheliejelie: Girl......... You're the ignorant because you obviously dony watch the freaking news. Trump is cutting off legal and illegal immigration. Your green card doesnt mean anything. If it was as easy as you're trying to make it out to be you wouldn't be in this thread looking for advice and tips. Ice is going to lock you up in those cages if you dare do something so irrational. Lmao im literally laughing because it's crazy how blind you are to whats going on in tbe world right now. Do you really believe these white countries want you there especially if you're this dumb already? Look for opportunities in your home land please and hopefully you get more education too while you're at it because id hate to imagine my life in your hands if i were a patient.
barbiee: I'm so grateful for this thread, it was long overdue but before I say anything if you are not abroad yet and want to know how you can immigrate as a nurse then follow the link above to the other thread where you can be guided in this process. With that being said, I will go ahead and share my little experience in diaspora. As some of you may already know I was on route to USA through the cgfns process but had to stop halfway due to situations beyond my control. During my time off I decided to look into the UK which turned out to be a good idea because few months after I started the process I landed here. I highly recommend this route if you are tired of waiting in Nigeria, you can go to the uk and work while you pursue your American, Canadian or Australian dream. The last time I checked there is a big difference between 10 pounds and 10 naira.
1. I had no issues with immigration, Nursing is on the shortage occupation list so it was easy. my visa was granted within 15 working days without having a visa interview. my employer paid for my visa and flights.
2. I landed in Manchester UK in April and what hit me first was not the fancy airport or buildings, nah it was the cold. My teeth were clattering and I was trying so hard not to appear shaky. it was supposed to be spring but it didnt feel like spring to me though. The cold was real but what was more real was the wind. Everyone kept saying I'm lucky i arrived this period because it was warm and I was like well maybe its warm to you but definitely not to me.
3,4. Working here is different from how we do it back home in Nigeria, we have to explain everything to the patient and get consent before carrying out any procedure. Handwashing nkor? I now carry hand lotion in my pocket because of it, another culture shock is addressing my boss with his or her name. No more sir or ma, they dont even like it when you say mr or mrs in front of their name, secondly I only noticed this when I got here, Nigerians say the word sorry a lot even when it's not necessary and up till today I'm still guilty of this. When someone gets hurt the first thing that comes out of my mouth is sorry and he/she will be like oh it's not your fault thirdly, there is no doctor yelling at you here because that is verbal abuse, everyone does what they are expected to do and not pass their job to someone else. Lastly, you are accountable for all your decisions and actions.
5. Work, make money, further education, travel etc
6. To all Aspiring Nurses, make hay while the sun shines, NMC uk has made the process of immigrating to uk easier and faster, do not waste your opportunities, stop wishing and start acting on those dreams. There is no better time to start this process than now. Ps. I'm still going to pursue my usa registration but until that time comes, let me jejely enjoy my pounds. More stories and pictures coming soon. @tunjinodayoff @incredible
Mind, sharing ur process cos I have concerns in helping someone back in 9ja, Im in London btw
MisterKings: What other term is used to refer to plugs. When I search how many plugs a Honda civic 2008 uses. I don't see anything related to plugs. Be like say yankee dey call am another name
1 liters = 1000 cubic centimeters(cc). More displacement volume means bigger space for burning fuel, which often gives more power. Generally engines with more displacement volume will produce more power than those with smaller displacement volume, but other factors are also important in deciding power

MisterKings: Ohhh that's very informative. I have heard of 4 plugs, 6plugs. They say Honda civic 2004-2005. But a friend was telling me about getting an EOD and how 6 plug is cool. I have eyes on Honda 2008
if U bother about fuel stay away from all 6 plugs,stick to 4 plugs
MisterKings: Ok the ETA, Bill of Laden etc. Or Is it advisable to just buy here once and for all to avoid wahala cos I don't have anyone over there. And this process sounds complicated and might end up costing as much as I can buy a tokunbo car here
ETA means Expected Time of Arrival, bill of laden is a Document, your shipping document If you do not have anyone there, you are on your own, its nearly impossible to buy there.

MisterKings: Ok so what should be the ideal displacement of an engine that doesn't use up much fuel
Anything below 2 ltr, that's why the VW Golf is a winner, cos there is a 1.6 litre. please google this reference on line and be well informed, people of Nigeria do not have a clue.If you are worried about the fuel consumption, you should be looking at cars with small Engines ie 4 plugs not 6 plugs
