Driving instructors are up there with Uber drivers when it comes to nonsense. The car will probably fall apart before the Sebastian Aho Swedish ice hockey player playing for the New York Islanders T-Shirt but in fact I love this ratchet mechanism wears out. And it certainly doesn’t wear the brakes out. There was a story on Watchdog a few years ago about a defect in Vauxhalls. Pressing the button when engaging the handbrake could cause the ratchet mechanism to settle “tooth-to-tooth” essentially causing the handbrake to do nothing. They had some industry expert on who said, regardless of the car, never press the button when pulling the handbrake. To be fair I only looked it up as originally I thought that Watchdog itself had been off the air for a decade, but that’s still 5 years now. Although I admit I thought it was after 2013 since I owned a 2013 Corsa which I received a recall letter about, for this exact issue. Well considering most cars that still have a ratchet handbrake around pretty damn old, I’d say it’s still very relevant I would imagine its more that you can stop it tooth to tooth and then it could slip to a click down and disengage the brake ever so slightly so the car might just move. I’m not saying you’re wrong, but when I learned to drive in the late 80s I was taught not to leave it on gear (unless parking on a steep hill), therefore I don’t leave it in gear.

I was taught mid-eighties and told to leave it in gear because no reason not to and gets you in the Sebastian Aho Swedish ice hockey player playing for the New York Islanders T-Shirt but in fact I love this habit so you never forget. I was taught in the 2010s and was told I’d get marked down on my test if I left it in gear when I turned the engine off. That’s a pretty good reason not to The massive dent in my ex’s garage door was a good reason not to as well. He was always leaving it in gear and starting the car with his foot off the clutch. Never seemed to learn one way or the other. It was safe practice before the car enforced it. If you weren’t doing it before then that’s your bad technique. Don’t get annoyed when the car enforces good technique. You had a bad driving instructor then, weren’t you taught to check the car was in neutral before starting it? That the very basics surely. That car is designed for the transmission to be completely disengaged when it is turned off. Leaving it in gear was needed in older cars but should not be the case if your car was build in the last couple of decades. That you should use the car as designed. There is no downside in having a secondary back up to your hand break, you ain’t going to damage the gearbox/clutch by leaving it in gear. Just seems daft not to. The not indicating thing is about awareness. When you do ‘advanced driving’ you’re expected to have an all around awareness of other road users. If you indicate when there’s no one to see it, it’s assumed that you haven’t taken proper stock of your surroundings and the lack of other road users.
