Aiyah, croco, people come here talk logic, but got someone wants
to turn it into a "I've been learning driving for 3 years from the
taxi uncle, so let's have a vote" thread mah. What to do? 
Seriously, like I said, the people who have the experience to know
the stupid things that can happen on the road will know that you
leave it in the right gear and stay ready for any emergency. That's
why they build it into the driving syllabus.
