Driving an automatic: parking and the e-brake
Self-tutoring about driving: the tutor mentions parking “best practices” for an automatic.
Like so many people (apparently), I’ve always stopped, put the car in Park, then set the e-brake. Yet nationwide says best practice is to stop, then set the e-brake, and finally put the car in Park. The reason: using the brakes (primary then e-brake) to hold the car in place before engaging Park keeps the job of holding the car still primarily in the hands of the brakes, whose job it indeed is.
