Hello everyone, I'm Xiao Li. When driving an automatic car, how often do you hang N gear when you are waiting for the traffic light? When I was waiting for the traffic light, as long as it wasn't for a long time, I rarely hung N gear, basically a D gear hit the world, but to be honest, hanging in D gear and stepping on the brakes and other traffic lights, it was really too convenient. However, only the old drivers who have suffered losses know that if the D gear is hung when waiting for the traffic light, it has hidden risks.
I like to put on the brakes in D gear when I'm waiting for the traffic lights, but I don't worry about hidden risks. That's because when I was waiting for the traffic light, I just stepped on the brakes and looked around. What am I looking at? I look at what kind of cars are parked at the traffic light intersection, how many new energy vehicles there are, I will study what their license plates are, what is the meaning of their license plates, I will not rummage in the car, or go down and indulge in mobile phones to make myself obsessed, but I have suffered the loss of others hanging N gear.
On the way back to my hometown, there was a traffic light intersection that was slightly uphill, and then when I waited for the red light, I was relatively close to the car in front of me, about less than two meters away. At that time, the car in front of me had already stepped on the brakes and stopped at the intersection, I followed after about ten seconds, his car has been slowly slipping back, but his brake light is still on, I have no place to reverse, I can only keep honking the horn and flashing the headlights, but unfortunately the owner of the car in front did not react, and finally his car directly hit the front of my car, and the driver reacted after hearing the sound. I got out of the car and looked at my car, so I told him, "It's okay, brother, don't you pull the handbrake?" Then at that time, he also smiled and said: "I am a manual transmission, hang N gear to see the mobile phone and get fascinated by the brakes and not step on", my God.
In fact, it is a hidden risk that the manual transmission car does not step on the N-gear brake, and for the automatic transmission car, you hang the D gear, and if you do not step on the brake, there will also be a hidden risk. Because our automatic transmission car has a speed of 5 km/h in the process of putting D gear, if you are distracted and the brakes are not pressed, the car will rear-end the car in front of you in the process of going forward. If a driver like me who is easy to talk to is okay and just pass a sentence, but some drivers are more difficult to speak, then he wants you to pay three or two hundred yuan, and you have to give it.
I had a friend who was waiting for the traffic light when he hung the D gear and stepped on the brakes, and when he parked, he was busy, and he was busy pinching the mobile phone to meet the information, and when the green light came up, he didn't react at all to the car in front of him, so he released the brakes directly, and as a result, he crashed into the car in front of him, and finally lost 200 yuan.
After suffering this loss, he now hangs the n-gear handbrake every time he waits for the traffic light, and then he goes to pinch the mobile phone, and after the green light is on, because he has to put the handbrake and hang the D gear before he can go, so that he can notice whether the car in front of him is gone or not, and it also avoids the hidden danger that he stepped on the brake and did not step on the car to slip forward.
In fact, with the N-gear handbrake attached, there is no damage to our car, and it will be more comfortable in the car. The gearbox oil of some cars has not been changed for a long time, in the process of stepping on the brakes in D gear, the car is holding the speed, the vibration of the whole vehicle will be relatively large, and we will feel more uncomfortable in the car, but after you hang the n gear, pull the handbrake, the whole car is quiet and shakes not so much, it is more comfortable.
When waiting for the traffic light, I don't recommend that you hang the P gear, because the P gear itself is a parking gear, it is not used for temporary parking, if you hang in the P gear, every time you have to cross the reverse gear and N gear to reach the D gear, the process of hanging the gear is more cumbersome.
And if you hang in P gear, the butt injury will be more serious if you are rear-ended, although the ratt hook in P gear can bounce up when it encounters a crash, and generally will not damage the gearbox. But don't forget, most of the tail is integral, in this state the P gear hook does not bounce up before it reaches a certain strength, then once the impact reaches a certain strength, the rear of the car must be more seriously injured, although the gearbox is not broken, but the tail damage will be greater, even if you don't need to spend money to repair the car, but it is also not cost-effective for us.
So when we are waiting for the traffic light, if the time is relatively short, there is no need to hang the N gear, you just step on the brake to keep your attention, if the waiting time is relatively long, then it is still necessary to hang the N gear to pull a handbrake.
