Default ttdude's stupid Friday poll #7: parking brake

An easy poll for a low energy day...

When you park on a reasonably level spot, do you:

a) put the car in gear
b) set the parking both
c) both of the above
d) none of the above

Any special circumstances that alter your choice?

Self-response: was b, now a

Default C) both set the handbrake and leave it in gear. Only exception is when I'm at the track: then...

I chock the wheels and don't apply the handbrake.

Default True! I was on best behaviour that day. Bad habits have developed over the years.
