stu999 Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 The other thing I hate is people sitting at traffic lights with their foot on the brake bit difficult not to if it's an automatic Er not really. There is usually a stick thing between the seats, and when it is moved to 'N' stops the car creeping forward. When the traffic lights turn to green, merely put stick thing back into 'D' again and gently depress accelerator. OK, so this is almost as much work as driving a manual... Folk will be using handbrakes in automatics next.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to pop it out of 'D' either. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 My Volvo auto is set up to disengage the drive when stationary with the foot brake pressed. This saves fuel and wear and tear on the transmission!, and stops the creep. So the footbrake actually puts the car into neutral "automatically" Still keeps the three rear brake lights on though...
