Because the simple process doesn't fully cover all situations. Someone mentioned an off ramp a couple posts up. The only hill I've used my handbrake on is significantly steeper than an off ramp. If adding a step turns a small chance of collision into NO chance of collision it should be used when practical to do so. Why use a manual transmission? You are adding multiple steps to something that an automatic does for you. But we choose to drive a manual cuz it's fun but it has its flaws. Like hill starts. Maybe this wasn't a problem before because if you rolled back into someone and your chrome bumpers touched... nothing happened. Now our cars are wrapped in fragile plastic and faster care needs taken
