[QUOTE=JumpinJackFlash;35572682]Uh, yes you can. You can put it in any gear at any time, but putting it in reverse will either make gears grind (you're effectively in neutral at that point anyway) or if it does catch, cause the tires to lose all traction because they're spinning super fast in the opposite direction. You're right, though, putting it in neutral would be best. From there, I'd turn the ignition switch far enough to turn off the engine, but not far enough to release the key. That way you save the engine, the car can still be controlled (because the key release also initiates the steering lock) and you can use the horn to warn people the fuck out of the way.The faster a vehicle is moving, the easier it is to steer. Brakes should work all the time no matter what. Power steering became a thing around the time people realized trying to steer the tires on a parked car is really fucking hard. If you're going 80 and you need to really crank on the steering wheel then there is something dreadfully wrong.
Power brakes are retarded, I disable them because they piss me off. I like to feel the brake pressure.[/QUOTE]
The transmission shit itself shortly afterwards and its currently sitting derelict in the front yard, so yeah I'd say something was dreadfully wrong.
Odometer stopped about 6 years ago on 240,000 miles, it [I]might[/I] be a little aged.
Wow, that happened only a few blocks from where I live.
Obviously it's sad that it happened and it's certainly a shock. I can only hope that her family will recover with time.
