I'm used in driving a M/T transmission na vehicle and yes, medyo naninibago ako with the A/T one. Anyways, na drive ko naman yung car from the casa to our house safely. I know lang naman na you just put it in "D" then magdrive ka na. But let's say if i'm going to climb hills or something steep, sapat na ba na nasa "D" lang? or let's say susulong ako sa baha, "D" lang din ba dapat? There's an "S" option and it's for me to control the gear changes pero I'm quite afraid to use it haha. Nasanay lang kasi ako M/T na I have control over the gears and I really don't think I have to go to driving school again (I learned kasi how to drive using a M/T transmission).

And last thing, may alam ba kayo na magandang article about this? haha I'm really sorry if parang ang basic or parang "huh??" ng question ko
Ganyan din naisip ko noon when I got my first AT car. Nasanay din ako at naghahanap ng clutch ang kaliwang paa at weird na walanb ginagawa ang kanang kamay. Don't worry, kapag inclined paakyat hindi yan aatras gaya ng MT. Kung feeling mo bitin or hirap siya umakyat, put it on S or manual mode and shift to a low gear. But normally if you have a strong enough engine, leaving in in D is fine. Same sa baha. After a week masasanay ka rin.
