Delikado ilagay sa NEUTRAL kung downhill. Save ka ng gas pero hindi na detect ng brake system mo kung may engine load. Mas mahirap mag brake kung biglang kailangan mo. Kung ilalagay mo sa NEUTRAL, make sure na wala kang kasabay. Kung gagawin mo pa din ang style na yan at kailangan mong mag shift or engine brake, rev-match ka muna para easy sa tranny. Ang shifting IMHO, depende sa engine load mo. May pasahero ka ba? Empty ba ang car? shifting early consumes more gas. typical cars right now shifts b/n 2.5 and 3K RPM. Sa humps, depende sa taas ng humps. di ko ginagamit ang 'clutch brake' sayang ang clutch...baka mangamoy pa :mrgreen:

akala ng iba tama pero mali pala:

1. Steering wheel hand position
AAA (American Automobile Association) always advice drivers to have their hands at 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock pero recently they modified this to 8 o'clock and 4 o'clock. Kapag may accident or emergency manuevering daw kse, nag react ang driver at nag over-steer kung nasa 10 and 2. Sa 8 and 4, konting kabig lang at hindi mag over steer. Another benefit is that 8 and 4 is easier on the driver's wrist 8) 8 and 4 na style ko ever since I started driving, buti naman iniba na ng AAA.
