Footbrake/Handbrake in Drive on Automatic

[maderic]

Sorry if this has been asked before. I’m well aware that using the footbrake leaving an auto in drive will blind people behind. My question is specifically about whether holding the footbrake in drive is bad for an auto transmission. This leads on to next question whether it’s ok to Leave the handbrake on in drive or if you’re employing the handbrake should you knock it into neutral

Many thanks

Thanks. Isn’t leaving the auto in drive and using either handbrake or foot brake to prevent creep the same as having a manual around the clutch point ready to go and hence damaging the clutch?
