    Has anybodt taken a test in an automatic ???
    i'm asking for my ma, she's to take her test on monday, but doesn't know how to do an emergency stop in an auto
    i thought you'd still have to put it in neutral, is this right ???

    auto 'D' or drive just leaves it in gear on the bite so to speak..... so if you break in gear you dont stall, you remain on the bite....


    threfore an emergancy stop you just slam it on the brake thats alll?

    p.s. auto test is gay, take a manual test so u can drive both then drive auto if you wish

    ned, please don't fill a serious post with your crap !!!

    My ma cannot drive manual cars, she has Arthritis (sp) it affects her left foot and therefore unable to dip a clutch,
    She only had a few lessons with an instructor, her friend taught her to drive but, she's not sure on the emergency stop

    Will, if you slam the brakes on in an auto it stalls !! is that whats meant to happen with an emergency stop ???

    No! It shouldn't stall and as said previously, it should stay on the bite. That's why if you're stopped at lights you have to hold your foot on the brake pedal or it'll edge forward.

    No EM light on i take it? What car is it?

    Engine Management light (i think it's either orange or red on a ford-it's below the speedo). Basically though it shouldn't stall, so there's a problem somewhere.
