Was driving an automatic at the weekend and found myself wandering what the "Correct Procedure" was when stopping at lights etc.

It didn't seem right to me to hold on the foot brake the whole time and I naturaly slotted it into park, however this led me to think, I see lot's of folk burning the brake lights on such occasions (unknown whether auto or not) but rarely the flash of the reverse lights as an Auto is shifted.

What would someone learing to drive an Auto be taught?
