Posted on 10/02/2017 00:17 by EmilysDadDo as Dave says & generally just engage P when parking ....... like 99% of (proper ) auto drivers do. Re Vulcan's 'legal' comments ...... plod would be busy if they arrested all auto driver that didn't apply their parking brake

Quite a few DO get prosecuted each year. It's usually the ones where the pawl in the gearbox fails and the vehicle, whatever it is, rolls off down a hill and injures someone else. It take only a small dunt from another vehicle to snap off the pawl.
The "park" setting on the automatic gearbox is there for the benefit of the gearbox not the user. The park brake is there to hold the vehicle.
