innersting

my missus always moans at me for not pressing the button....

so ha I was right

always a first time I suppose.

A quick google would suggest it's a contentious issue.

Was definitely taught that I should do so, back in the day.

ah well just getting old I guess!

Simple Solution : Take the car off her before she kills someone next time.

Or replace the missus with a newer model

or buy a car with an electric hand brake

The last car I had (and my current car) had electronic hand brakes.. great until they break. £1000 to get it fixed when it stopped working.

Well that's inneresting - I've always pressed the button when applying the handbrake. Thought you were supposed to.

I was always taught to do so, this is so the ratchet does not wear to prevent such issues. You can pull it one click to make sure its locked.
