If drivers do not drive in this way, then they automatically fail their test. Once they have passed the test, the handbrake rule is forgotten as it is impracticable. My concern is that, if they are not trained to use the service brakes, then there could be an issue. In addition, the chance of repetitive strain injury, increased component failure (park brake levers and cables are not designed for such intensive use) all add up to a non sensical approach whch is being enforced in the UK. How can we get this situation to change to th ecorrect practice and reflect reality.
