bad, very bad! sa mga jeepneys lang yan kasi walang hand brake. you know why it's bad? kasi pag nabangga ang car nyo while parked and gears shifted to first e guess what could happen to the tranny and engine. remember the gear ratio (tranny plus differential), 1 ikot ng wheel results into 4+ ikot ng engine. pwede mabasag ang gears sa tranny, pwede mabasag connecting rod. especially kung sa harap nabangga since the car moves in reverse while shifted to first, baluktot valve stems dyan.
