Reverse gear should only be engaged when the car has come to a complete stop. When the engine is running, the clutch pedal should be fully depressed for a few moments to avoid grinding when engaging the gear.
When reverse gear is engaged and the ignition is on, the reversing lights come on.
While driving, the driver's right hand should not be constantly on the gear shift lever handle; the force from the weight of the hand is transferred to the gear shift forks, which can lead to accelerated wear of the forks.
