Do you drive a car with an automatic transmission? At first glance, it may seem easier to drive a car with an automatic transmission than a manual one. The interface of automatic cars is often simpler, which saves new drivers from having to shift gears using the clutch and pedals manually. Although automated driving may seem very simple, there are still some practices that can unintentionally disrupt the gear shifting process. So, here are 7 of the most dangerous mistakes you make when driving an automatic! Timestamps: Never shift from "drive" to "reverse" before the car comes to a complete stop 1:06 Never put your car in "park" before it comes to a complete stop 1:55 Never put it in "neutral" at a stoplight 2:56 Never let your car coast in "neutral" 3:53 Never "start" your car after it's completely stopped 4:44 Never keep your gas tank empty 5:48 Don't let water get into your transmission 6:31 Summary: _If your brakes wear out, you'll have to replace them for $200. But if you're constantly shifting between "drive" and "reverse" while your car is moving, prepare yourself for damage that will cost you at least $2,500+. _When you put your car in "park," a switch closes the clutch output of the transmission, which connects it to your wheels. But if your car is still running while you're doing this, the clutch lever or clutch release may break or wear out. _It's better to leave your car in "drive" than to shift it into "neutral" when you're stopped at a red light. First and foremost, when your car is in "neutral," you don't have full control of it. So if you need to do something in an emergency, you probably won't be able to do it in time. _Automatic transmissions are designed to conserve fuel even when the gear is in "drive." The engines cut off the fuel supply when going downhill. _Many drivers operate their cars this way all the time. This can cause serious damage to the belts and clutches of the automatic transmission. When you change gears, this friction is used to move the various parts. _Ignoring the fuel light on the dashboard can cost you more than just filling up the gas tank, especially if your car is equipped with an automatic transmission. _If water gets in your transmission, you're in trouble. Even the smallest amount of water, or a few drops, can wreak havoc on your car's transmission to the point where you'll have to turn off the music.
