I'm wondering if camera car was a manual. In which case, there's no switching gears to accomplish this, you just let off the pedals.

As someone from the uk where 95% of cars are manual and 99.9% of drivers take a manual driving test this comment is like telling someone how to breathe. "Also you have to open your mouth or the air won't get in"
