can you stall an auto? 3 Sep 2002 (Forum)
I suppose not, as the torque convertor takes up the role of an automatic clutch. I ask this because several times I have forgotten to release the parking brake and drove off, I wonder if it really works! I did read in the manual that you should apply the brake lightly when driving from time to time so as to clean the rear drums as they arent self cleaning, I did try this but it made such a frightening noise I decided against it! -
Who\'s fault? (Motor Accident) 7 Jun 2002 (Forum)
My Dad was driving along when a car with trailer pulled out of a garage turning from the right onto the road in front of him. Dad had two choices-he would have had to brake sharply or he could overtake smoothly. He chose to overtake the car but whilst overtaking, the car decided to pull back into the next entrance of the garage and clearly without checking blindspots or mirors, he crossed my father\'s path and despite his braking, they collided fairly heavily. -
