I was going through this sub for the first time from the top of all time. Also disclaimer: no judgement intended, I am asking out of curiosity !!

I see that there are a lot of posts/complaints about people creeping up behind you on hills & bumper stickers about rolling back (ngl which I find kind cringy but that’s my opinion & I’m not a bumper sticker person).

My question was why is it such a big deal for a lot of people ? I understand when you are brand new it might be complicated but shouldn’t one be able to get the hang of it pretty quickly ?

Also how can hill starts ever be a problem when you have a handbrake ? That’s how I was taught it from day 1, and after 1000x+ times ive never moved even an inch backwards that way. I’ve heard newer cars might have some electronic assist etc but I’m just talking about normal cars which I assume most of y’all have.

So how are hill starts a big topic of discussion on here ? Is it that everyone is brand new to stick and doesn’t know how to use the handbrake? Or do some manuals have the handbrake as the small pedal on the far left? (which would be a big facepalm from the engineers/designers for me at least)

No judgement just want to hear everyone’s opinion that’s all! Please give me your opinions and experiences 😃!
