    Absolutely right.
    I would also add,a car would have less wear & tear in steering components,linkages,hydraulic pump.rack & pinion if in motion while steering rather than from a stock still/ motionless.

    Rentals, now there's a car that can go from forward to reverse at any speed. Company vehicles come a close second .

    I let my truck roll slowly when I put it in drive. Keeps the U-joints from getting torqued on take-off.
    Never, under any circumstances, consume a laxative and sleeping pill, on the same night
