Hi,
Scenario, I,m following some cars the Traffic Lights change to Red and I`m sat behind 6 Cars.
I stop and put on my Handbrake, select Neutral and take my foot off the Clutch.
I notice that all 6 cars in front of me have their Brake Lights on, so Brake Pedal depressed and Brakes holding the car in position.
I presume that at least half of these are also in gear with the Clutch Pedal depressed and the clutch held open
.
What effect and wear is placed on the Brake and Clutch parts of these Cars?
And at night it's blinding.
Am I just relating to older style Cars, I am 76 and been driving for 60 years, maybe on a modern car this is not relevant.?
Oh and just saying, would love to see the "Start/Stop" function kick in, a rare sight.
