People who have learned to drive a car recently have most probably practiced on an automatic car.

But those who are used to manual operations in a vehicle, involving gears, will most likely face some difficulty before becoming a pro at driving automatic vehicles.

LET’S LOOK AT A FEW TIPS TO DRIVE AN AUTOMATIC CAR:

USE THE HANDBRAKE TO PARK

If you’re new to automatic cars, placing your car in the ‘park’ gear simply will not be enough.

You must also lift the handbrake up.

If the handbrake is not applied, your car might roll away!

STOP BEFORE SWITCHING GEARS

Once the gear is on drive, you don’t need to worry about changing speeds and acceleration.

However, if you need to switch from drive(D) to reverse(R) or from drive to park(P), then make sure the car is at a complete stop before you do this.

DON’T COAST IN NEUTRAL GEAR

There are myths that lead people to believe that they can save fuel and money by driving in neutral when coasting.

This not only damages your brakes but also prevents your car from accelerating.

KEEP A LIGHT THROTTLE PRESSURE

As soon as you put the gear in drive, don’t slam the as pedal and exert pressure all at once. This can damage your vehicle.

Start by applying a light pressure and gradually increase it for a higher speed.
