I need help with my gear in my car!

On my automatic car my gear box looks like this - P R N D 3 2 1 - Is it safe to drive it like a manual car and shift the gear from 1 2 3 on a straight road?

not really, and not necessary. |

Yes, it is, but you're gaining much. The only time to bother driving an automatic like a standard is in slippery conditions.
I'm not going to get into the engineering of it; basically the tranny shifts at the optimal point for the vacuum being drawn. The amount of vacuum being drawn is dependent on the throttle position. |

its basicly a tiprtonic car you can drive on the manual but remember that you have to put it on N when you stop |

yes it is. but remember that it is not a good thing to over rev a car in a lower gear. you overpressurize the transmission. keep the rpms within the tolerance limits of each gear speed. |

It is designed not to be driven that way because you can over rev the engine and transmission that will lead to serious repairs... |

No, it is not a good idea. The 1,2, and 3 mean that that's the highest gear it will go (put in on 1 and it will stay on 1, on 2 it will stay on two, and so on.) Just put it in drive and it will shift itself, you needn't tear up your transmission. |
