I learned to drive last year and can confirm I was taught to sit on the brake in traffic too. Hand brake only for hill use or when parked. That said, our car auto holds...no idea if brake light comes on when doing so but will check later.

Blimey! It's a thing then. New drivers taught to blind drivers behind them and force their hot front brake pads and discs together for as long as possible....
I'm not sure thats as much of a problem as you think it is, given that the majority of modern cars apply the wheel brakes when you are stationary anyway.
