Car yoga
My invention developed after I noticed sharp pain in right hip area from frequent driving

1 use neutral all the time at stops in traffic etc

Don’t ever push on Brake with car in gear at a stop

2 use gears to downshift. Even in automatics. Saving brakes

3. Cruise control. Use whenever possible on highways where flat

4. Drive very slowly but not annoyingly. Always cede to mr and mrs “ in a hurries “. ( most drivers )

Only pay attention to what’s in front of you for most part

The idea is minimize stress on body and use cars attributes to make as close to self driving as possible

Also minimizes wear and tear on automobile and saves gas

The neutral thing was a complete revolution for me since I spend a lot of time in SF bay traffic

I just take feet off petals and shuttle back and forth between N and D on the “prindl”

Hope this aids you folks who have to drive a lot

Cheers.

What about brake lights t9 let others know you are slowing down/stopping? Sounds like you are openin* yourself up to getting rear-ended.

As much as I like in doing that, in some locations it is illegal and signs are posted to that effect. I guess authorities figure your brake lights aren't lit up to warn those behind you that you are slowing down. I drive a couple stick-shift cars and downshift to slow but haven't been caught yet in those zones.
