I wish more people would do it at traffic lights and suchlike in the
dark. Some of the brighter brake lights are painful to sit behind.
Ah, shucks; I'm just developing middle aged grumpiness, aren't I?

That is actually my point, funnily enough. The handbrake cable broke and I
haven't got round to replacing it. I just replaced the front pads tho
because of a siezed caliped which is now freed, so I have good brakes now.
The handbrake seems a bit redundant in an automatic, but I am conscious of
blinding the people behind me in a traffic queue, and I feel I may annoy
them by putting the lever in park because it goes through reverse to get
there. I have noticed a look of alarm in some people behind me when I put it
in park then put it in drive when the traffic eventually moves, especially
now it's dark when going home. I have heard that it is better for the auto
gearbox to leave it in drive for less wear in the long term, but this may be
an old wifes tale like the one about never changing the oil in it.
