Hello I need some advice, I have recently started up my driving lessons again having perviously taken some, I've had about 10 so far, but literally every time I stop my instrcutor is telling me I need to apply the handbrake, I mean everytime!! If I give you an example, you are driving down a narrow street and a car is coming towards you, there are parked cars on either side so you can't both fit, you need to pull in for a few seconds for the other driver to pass, the handbrake surely is not needed?! Yet he's teaching me to do this! And after searching on google if it was nessacery as I don't feel it is, it takes me a good few seconds to start up again this way and most times I get beeped at a lot! "If you apply the handbrake every time you stop you stand a good chance of failing your test for "undue hesitancy". This applies to automatic or manual cars equally". I was also watching a driving practical test on the computer, and the man was not using he's handbrake every single stop, is my instructor teaching me wrong! I find myself stopping at lights as quickly as possible so I can start up again, because I'm sick of getting beeped at for taking 100 years!
