….as this thread shows, handbrakes do fail
Or, much more likely, people fail to put them on properly 😉
…is there anything to be gained by ignoring the HC advice to leave it in gear with the wheel turned towards the kerb?
Suppose not, it’s just not the way I was taught to do it, so it’s never been part of my “routine”
Possibly something to do with learning to drive in completely flat York, but I did live in the Alps for 10 years, so I do have some experience of inclines with regard to driving.
Or is this just some kind of macho “I know better than the Highway Code” thing?
As above, not in the slightest, if that was the way I regarded driving advice, I wouldn’t have chosen to do advanced driver training.
I’ve just never really given it any thought.
I was just slightly amused that someone was “Amazed” that anyone would dare to park without leaving the car in gear 🙂
Maybe I’m just not that easily amazed. But it would take more than that.
