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" ... ?


What f*cking difference does it make if I have or haven't, FFS I
probably driven more vehicle than you have sat in, as I said you
question was about as pointless as asking for the price of fish here.


teh lead seems to have lodged in your brain permanently.

The fact is, if you can't operate all the *safety* related controls
you should not be using the vehicle or what ever.


Yeah. Right. Apparently the best way to open a late 80's locked jaguar
was with a mallet on the front bumper. That acticvated the 'crash'
sensor 'safaty related control' and the door locks sprang open.
