I really struggle with people sat on their brakes in queues. I think I'm particularly sensitive to bright light, gives me a flaming headache.
My company car has auto hold/handbrake and TBH its a brilliant feature. For me as the driver. But to my horror I've realised that when in use it leaves the brake lights on. It's a real pet hate of mine so feel very guilty whenever parked in traffic as I know my brake lights will be burrowing into the retina of the occupants behind like the eye of Sauron.

Yeah, it's up there with shit drivers who ride the clutch for minutes on end in queues on hills. (pet peeve of mine as my office is on a busy hill...)

Same. I started to notice this more and more a few years ago. Nowadays it seems it's rife!!
Anyway, my step-son recently started taking lessons and it turns out that new drivers are actually taught to sit on the brakes. Apparently the handbrake is just a 'parking brake'.
I questioned it obviously but then he was taught the same thing by a different instructor.
It's possible both instructors are being dicks and teaching bad habits but if not this sucks.
How can it possibly apply for hill starts?! I guess that would be the exception to the rule.

I've always wondered....cars with autohold....does the brake light come on when it's engaged?
