    I use it on extended traffic stops, while on inclines and every time I park.

    Mga dalawang beses ko nang nakakalimutang i-engage yung handbrake sa parking, buti na lang level yung pinaparadahan ko.

    traffic stops: pinakiramdaman ko muna if vehicle is moving forward or backward while in neutral. if so, then handbrake sa manual at P naman sa matic kung matagal pa mag-green. lalo ngayon uso na yung mga stoplights na me timer. so alam mo how long pa kayo naka-stop. a few seconds before mag-go, shift to footbrake (or handbrake) na. with my recent experience sa warped rotors (or VDT), i try not to leave the pads touching the hot discs for long, esp. after spirited driving with long braking.

    sa parking naman, kapag level lang, i just leave it to P sa matic. kahit neutral lang sa manual, esp. sa alanganing parking para pwede itulak na lang kung nakakasagabal. kapag medyo inclined, pwede na rin sa P on matic, and first gear naman sa manual. just be careful lang and remember kapag naka-gear ka esp. if you're parked facing a wall. i once cranked a manual while geared sa parking, and buti na lang kinaya pa ng bumper. medyo dikit din kasi sa wall kaya di malakas ang hampas. di naman nag-dent. hehe.

    kung steep ang incline... no choice but to use the handbrake whether mainit pa yan. anyway, as per experience, kahit sobrang init na ng front discs, di pa rin masyado yung rear disc/drum.

    In some countries, it is required that you use both handbrake & 'P' when parking.
