A bit like opening your car door while still driving 60 mph... Nobody does that in normal operation.
You don't open and shut a door when you notice it didn't fully close because you can hear the wind?
- frogpelt 8y agoA better comparison might be putting the car in reverse at 60 MPH.
- isostatic 8y agoYou never missed a gear, thinking you were driving a 6 speed rather than a 5 speed?
- stevehawk 8y agoNo, but for as long as I've been driving manual cars they've had gates to prevent that very action. (1995)
- camtarn 8y agoNot mine (Honda Jazz). But you physically can't do it, as the reverse gear has no synchro and won't mesh unless stationary.
- ars 8y agoThe sleeve of my coat caught on the gear shift while making a left turn and threw it in reverse while on the freeway. It made a grinding noise and I yanked it back into drive. Other than the noise nothing bad happened.
- vkou 8y agoNon-suicide doors[1] in cars are very difficult to open at 60 mph. Between air pressure, and poor leverage, you are going to have a hell of a time doing it. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_door https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_door
- MFLoon 8y agoJust roll your window down first!
- deathanatos 8y agoAt 60 mph? No. I listen to the wind until I get a safe opportunity to properly close it. (I might try to pull it more shut while moving. But not open it.)
- philjohn 8y agoGood luck even opening it far enough if you're going at 60 ...
- nraynaud 8y agoIn airplanes, a lot of procedures and diagnostics involve not re-trying a failed action, not touching anything before reading a check list, nor flipping a switch twice if it didn't work the first time.
