The parking brake used in some cars (e.g. some European Mercedes as
well as many US motors) requires the use of a leg to apply it. There
are many drivers who for various reasons can drive the car fine but
cannot apply this brake. (You sort of need to lift your knee up to your
chin in order to get your foot onto the pedal. Then press down quite
hard with your leg.) I suspect that many drivers never use it - just
leaving the car in P when parked.

If they can't operate the vehicle they should not be driving it,
especially on an automatic.

Have you ever driven such a vehicle in the U.S. ?


...and haddock is 10 GBP per lb........


And your point is ?? So have you ? Making silly noises about haddock, does
not answer a straightforward question, or is the answer "no" ... ?
