Driving a manual...


Recommended Posts

If u live in France, your supposed to never park your car in gear or have the handbrake on. mainly cos they believe in touch parking... u just use your bumpers to create a parking space :D

Still, i always leave mine in gear... better safe than sorry.

It's true! :o

The amount of times my uncle 'squeezed' his way into a parking spot was amazing!

I also leave my car in gear when parked just to be safe from the rolls. When you've experienced parking on a steep slope with the hand brake all the way up and the car is neutral, and your car starts to roll - you'll know it's time for a hand brake adjustment.

When starting the car, I always make sure it's in neutral before turning the ignition. I don't press the clutch in for a start.
