According to TB .. most handbrake problems are caused by people NOT using them ... seems this causes them to sieze up/stick etc .... :(

So .. if you have an auto ..... don't just use PARK ...  use the handbrake as well .. thats what it was designed for !!!  :)

It won't cause the handbrake to wear out ... the shoes can't "wear" if the wheels are not rotating !!!!!
