In the UK ( in a car with manual transmission ) you use the brake pedal to brake when in motion and set the parking brake when stationary for more than say a few seconds. You can hold the car with the footbrake for sure but if it's for long - such as waiting for lights to change and you're on a hill it makes more sense and feels more comfortable to use the parking ( hand ) brake. Of course if you have an auto box you can select P or wastefully burn fuel in gear. Graham |
