Section: 第９節 オートマチック車などの運転
Type: True/False
Difficulty: hard

## Question
While driving an automatic car, you stopped at a red light at an intersection. The stop looked likely to be long, but instead of shifting to N you kept the lever in D and waited while pressing the brake pedal firmly.

## Correct answer
False

## Explanation
When an automatic car's stop is likely to be long, the correct procedure is to shift the lever to N to prevent unintended movement from the creep phenomenon. Waiting in D is therefore incorrect.
