Sometimes I park my (manual) car and find that while I’m well aligned , I’m either too far into the spot (don’t always want to bait someone with my smol car) or not far in enough.

Assuming I’m on level ground (ie in a multi storey carpark), is it OK to put my car into neutral, let down the handbrake and push it a little? As opposed to firing up the ignition and driving it 50 centimeres?

    When your car is in neutral, it’s basically a bike. You can push it, pull it, pick it up and move it, dance in circles with it. None of it will hurt the car.

    Jokes aside, these guys make awesome videos and I think any one who drives a manual transmission car would benefit from having a deeper understanding of how it works. Check this out when you get a chance:
