    not much. yup baka kasi manikit un break. lalo na pag tag-ulan
    gamit lang sa inclined at parking sa alanganing lugar kasabay ng 1st gear para di mabilis ma-tow.
    laging naka-1st gear when parked.
    most importantly i use it during emergency stop
    foot and hand brake = instant hinto!

I dont know about them but I think relying solely on the "P" gear (in automatic transmission vehicles) to hold the vehicle in place when parked, places alot of undue stress on the transmission. That's why I always activate the parking brakes first while still depressing the brake pedal, then shift the transmission to PARK or P, then release the brake pedal.
    nung nagbakasyon din ang mga relatives ko tinanong ako bakit pa ako nagha handbreak sa parking at sa trapik. sabi ko na lang ayoko kasi nakaapak sa break lagi eh.

    sila naman sa break lang lagi nakaapak since automatic gamit nila.

    every stop regardless of the slope. forces of habit. you'll never know, somebody might hit you from behind thus transfering the momentum to your vehicle then hitting the vehicle in front of you. yoko lang ma-sandwich.

    kpag stop at malayo pa go = 100% handbrake

    I use it whenever I park, especially sa bahay coz inclined yung parking space ko so when facing down the incline, handbrake+reverse gear vice versa. Minsan pag naka neutral ginagamit ko rin, nag e-engage kasi minsan yung powerlocks pag tapak ng brake.
