[–] zurohki@aussie.zone 11 points 1 week ago (2 children) Yeah, you aren't changing gears while driving, you're switching between forward and backward, so you're already stationary. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago* Unrelated, but my elderly uncle drove a minivan with an automatic transmission that he drove like it was a manual. He would start from every stop by putting the shifter into "1" and then "2" and then "D" and then back to "N" when he stopped. He was a former Navy pilot (A-1 Skyraiders) and I guess he just couldn't accept the loss of control that goes with an automatic. It doesn't seem like this could possibly have been good for the transmission, but I dunno. permalink fedilink source parent [–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago Just like on my own EV car with a knob for backwards and forwards (and neutral) 😆 I was tired when posting that comment lol permalink fedilink source parent
