L stands for low gear. When your car is in drive, or D, the automatic transmission will shift through the gears as your speed increases. When your car is in low, or L, the transmission won't shift. Instead, it remains in a low gear, and less fuel is injected into the engine.

Bottom Line. Most catalytic converter problems do not prevent your car from functioning, but if a catalytic converter is completely plugged you should not drive your car at all.

Avoid driving in heavy ashfall. Driving will stir up ash that can clog engines and stall vehicles. If you do have to drive, keep the car windows up and do not operate the air conditioning system. Operating the air conditioning system will bring in outside air and ash.

The answer is you should not. You can drive the car until it breaks down completely (and it will). While doing so you will, as pointed out by other answers, run the risk of damaging the converter but you also run the risk of fire. If the coil is faulty very bad things can happen.

Yes, you'll still be able to drive your car if your turbocharger fails; however, engine failure won't be far behind, so only drive on if you have to.

Cold weather and winter driving conditions can reduce your fuel economy significantly. Fuel economy tests show that, in city driving, a conventional gasoline car's gas mileage is roughly 15% lower at 20°F than it would be at 77°F. It can drop as much as 24% for short (3- to 4-mile) trips.

You could drive it to the station, although there is a chance that if there's a lot of water in the fuel, it could damage your engine. So we can't tell you for sure to go ahead and drive it – you will probably want to have it towed just to be sure.

L is an abbreviation for Low, and putting your vehicle in Low will keep you in the lower gears when you drive, instead of automatically upshifting to 3, 4 or 5.

Like I mentioned previously without a serpentine belt to power the accessories of your car the car will start but you won't be able to drive it that far. I've luckily never had this happen to me but I'd estimate that you would be able to drive for a few miles (3-5) before your car's engine will start to overheat.

Tyre grip is hugely reduced on icy roads, and braking distances are much longer. Even if you avoid an accident, your car may get stuck – potentially leading to a long walk home. Traffic congestion is likely to be worse, too.

Don't leave the scene, even it's only a minor scrape. If you drive away without stopping, you'll be guilty of an offence under the Road Traffic Act. Turn off your car engine and, if needed, turn on your hazard lights.

It is dangerous to drive with a very low fuel level. Even just driving on low fuel can damage the fuel pump, as debris or contaminants from the gas that settle at the bottom of the tank will be sent through the fuel pump when the tank is empty.
