Do you use the parking brake in traffic etc?
Or should you only use it when actually parked, and simply use the footbrake etc?
If you're going to be stationary for more than a few moments it's courtesy to the driver behind to put the gearshift into "park" (not the parking brake) this means your brake lights aren't glaring in their face. I hardly ever use the handbrake. Or should you only use it when actually parked, and simply use the footbrake etc?
p.s. at the knobs below
I was always told handbrake if stopped for longer than a few seconds and keep it in drive, only put it into park if you are going to stopped for longer than a traffic light such as for a long time in a traffic jam, then you would probably switch off the engine anyway. - http://www.driving-test-success.com/driving-articl...
Something about torque converter wear if you keep moving from drive to park incessantly whilst driving.
