      @@dianeharrison4975 it's much easier. You don't need change gears, you just have break pedal and acceleration pedal. Obviously all electric cars and hybrid vehicles are automatic. Only point With automatic licence you are not allowed to drive manual car.

    When parking;
    First put it into N,
    Engage the handbrake,
    Release the pedal to transmit all the weight to the handbrake,
    Hit the brake again and put the gear into P,
    Turn off the car.

    I have an automatic and if stopping you should always put the engine into the park when waiting. I was at a drive-through and stretched out to get some money from a trouser pocket and hitting the throttle the car leped forwards. The same with stopping. If by chance you just get out of the car to quickly do something you can accidentally hit the throttle and the car will jump forwards.

    Firstly, love the video, the steps were gone through slowly and carefully and very easy to understand.
