I've driven autos and haven't applied a hand brake for ten years
Yep, it's drivers like you that mean everyone else gets stuck with all these safety systems you're complaining about. I'm sure you were taught to park a car in gear (or 'P') with the handbrake on - what makes you think you know better?!0 -

Quite apart from the safety aspect, in most automatic gearboxes that puts a lot of strain on the parking pawl. Which is one reason that folk who have to pay for their own repairs should avoid doing that :-)0
