Sorry @Tcoat, but you're wrong. You can drive however you like of course, but the correct way to start moving from a hill so steep that it has been necessary to apply the parking brake in the first place, is:
Apply the right amount of gas, then smoothly disengage parking brake and release clutch at the same time.

It requires some practice to get it just right, but when you do you get a nice forward acceleration with no backwards movement at all, and no clutch wear. At any incline.
This is especially important on ice and snow, and especially when driving heavy trucks. You want forward momentum building up as smoothly as possible, and the parking brake is essential for that.

Wow Sar we disagree twice in one night! That has to be a record (not sarcasm)


I disagree that there is ever a time you HAVE to use the brake.
