I just know some automatically car, when starting the car, don't need to put the foot on the brake.
The whole time, I thought need put on the brake and use the key to start the car.

@Sphinx It's never a bad idea - to place your foot when starting. If the vehicle was in gear (more common for a standard) it might jolt forward, or backward if the reverse gear was engaged.

Older cars did not have this, and it did happen to people. Newer ones added a sensor and won't fire the starter without the brake pedal depressed.

other people told me his car also don't need foot on brake to start the car, I don't know why I have this image that foot need on the brake...
Perhaps majority of automatic car don't need foot on the brake to start the car. Do you agree?😀

@Sphinx I imagine that automatic transmission vehicles probably have a sensor -- and won't start if transmission is not in Park. (I don't have an automatic, as I prefer manual for my vehicles. More fun, imo).

@design_RG
right now I have a problem with my MT, is that: after I turn and then go uphill the car will stall, it's been server times, any suggestion? I guess I need minus the gear as far as past the turn...?
Thank you!
