 Neutral or In Gear When Parking - zippy
I have seen a few drivers deliberately leave their car in neutral when parked up.

I was taught to leave the car in first if pointing up a hill or reverse if pointing up a hill with front wheels turned in or out to the curb as appropriate.


(It was in case the brake failed and the car rolled. I know if the hill is steep enough there is a chance even the engine compression could be overcome and the car could still roll.)

Is this not taught anymore?
