When the car is parked...I'd always use the hand break on an a manual more than an automatic

But as for hold-up situations, for me it depends on how long I wait on a spot for both manual and auto
U should use d handbrake more on automatics cos their transmissions are more sensitive than their manual counterparts and d experts say it not good to allow d weight of d car to rest on d gear wc is what happens when U don't use d handbrake.

I apply handbrake immediately everytime I put my car to (P) wether sloppy or level ground. I'm even surprised this is a question for discussion as they always go hand in hand.

LOL, I use my handbrake whenever I park my car. In fact I engage handbrake before putting the car to park. That way it saves the transmission from damaging when u park on a sloppy road. Have u ever wondered why it becomes difficult to get ur car out of park whenever u park on a slope? That's because the gear is resting downwards the slope and it can damage ur transmission whenever u force ur car out of park. But when u engage handbrake before going into park, the brakes are preventing the car from moving down the sloap rather than being stopped by the transmission, so when u want to get out of park it becomes easy. Try it and u will know ur handbrake is not for fashion.
this is a real eye opener, no wonder my gear hardly shitfs from p to R.my hand break is faulty and i have been procrastinating the repair for more thatln one year now...

I will get it fix asap before i pay a high price

There was a time I took my brother's bus to rush down somewhere before he comes back because I didn't take permission from him, though his was aware. After I packed it on a sloppy ground, I drew the handbrake to support the break, but when I angrily came out where I was seriously provoked, I forgot to release the the handbrake and the car was moving though not normal but I didn't notice it because there was Go-slow, but when I got home and packed motto, I didn't know that the motto had scattered to the extent that the fan blades was condemned and even affected the radiator, one other rod was broken somewhere around the engine, and motto could neither start nor movegrin the following morning I went back there to carry the motto again, this time my brother was around, when I tried to start it and noticed the occurrence knowing I was the last person that made use it, as at that moment the handbrake was still active, that was when I realised what happened and quickly released it, I went to inform my brother about the development, after we argued on the possible cause of such strange development since I had used and packed it just few hours before, I personally suggested it to him that it could witchcraft peoplegrin till date he remains on puzzles on what actually caused itgrin only me and God knows what grin grin

As for me when driving an automatic transmission car, i barely make use of it. But when am driving a manual car, i tend to make use of it especially when am about to drive over a hilly place to avoid the car from moving backward. I really will like to know how often you use your hand brake and under what circumstance.

FRSC coman carry traffic offender oh...
Once you park your car, apply your handbrake...
Probably you learnt how to drive from a nurtw guy... grin

U should always engage ur hand brake before putting an automatic transmission into park if u want ur transmission to last longer.

Thanks for the heads up
I always had that in mind but wasn't sure

Most times I park without it, and other periods I engage it after park

Also handbrake is useful when u are parked very close to another car on a slope and u need to reverse. Once u put ur car to reverse and move ur leg from brake to throttle, if u are not careful u might hit the car in front of u before the car moves backwards. But with handbrake engaged, just put the car in reverse, floor the throttle and release the handbrake... That way the car won't move forward an inch before going into reverse.
never thought of this. So there is a need for it after all
