YACT: do you park the car with the hand brake engaged??

Never, there's no need for it. Waste of energy and time (seriously) anyway.

It's a waste of time and energy to spend half a second pulling up the hand brake? 😕

While I hope that no one is hurt when your empty car finally does roll down that hill, I also hope that it costs you A LOT of money so that you can properly atone for your stupidity.

I'd like to hear your explanation of how the brakes on my stopped, parked car suddenly fail and causes it to go driving away on its own..

If it's a manual, I always put it on. For auto's, only if the car is on an incline.

Well... if you don't have the brakes engaged (which you said was "a waste of time and energy") then those brakes won't have to "suddenly fail," do they?

Yes, I do. My hand brake broke earlier in the year, so I just got a new cable and everything. I always put it on and leave it in gear. There are lots of hills where I live, so you can never be too careful.
