After a first down is achieved in American football, the team is awarded another set of four downs to advance the ball further towards the opponent's end zone. The team has ten yards to gain in order to achieve another first down. If they are unable to advance the ball ten yards in four downs, possession is turned over to the other team.

What happens when engage first gear before stopping?

You will slow down. If you down-shift from 2nd to 1st, you will slow down somewhat. If you down-shift from 4th, 5th or 6th gear, you will slow down very dramatically. It would give you a similar feeling as if you had slammed on the brakes and locked up the wheels. Not recommended.
