what's the use of "N" in a AT?

[dhisky]

Pag nasa traffic or stop ang traffic light N for neutral lang,pag naka P or park ka at na bangga ka sa likod wasak ang transmission mo.

*jyg1995 thanks.

Another noob question, yung mga kakilala ko lagi ako dine discourage to buy an AT car kasi daw di mo "mahihila" pag nasiraan ka. I don't if they're saying literally or may ibang meaning.

But let's say di mo nga mahihila, base on your answer, it seemed like "mahihila/matutulak" mo naman sya paga naka Neutral? just like a manual transmission right?
