[post]359253[/post] Modern cars actually require you to NOT push the button in on the handbrake
That's interesting to know. Seems that is indeed what some manufactures suggest these days - http://www.drivertrainingtoday.co.uk/viewtopic.php?pid=330214#p330214
Hopefully it's still OK to put the car in first or reverse when parked or I'm stuffed.

Too late for that, I'm afraid.

Best advice...keep the hands on the wheel where they should be :grin:
Yep, and don't drive along with your driver's door open either.
But, you're right, some people seem not to know this stuff.
As for the gearknob, I change gear with my hand at the side of the knob anyway (wrist towards me for 1st to 2nd, wrist away from me for 2nd to 3rd, etc. etc) and to guide through the gate anyway, so there'd be no point resting my hand on the top of it, as that's not how I change gear.
But yeah, drive with all doors closed and both hands on the wheel,
