Sitting in a stationary queue at night recently it struck me that virtually no-one nowadays puts a car into neutral and uses a parking brake. This results in you being dazzled by the high level brake lights,surely dangerous. I find it easier than sitting there with brake and clutch peddle depressed but I'm obviously in the minority so please tell me why you do it. Is it there are more automatics around now, or do people think they can make a faster getaway?
