I always find it jarring when the actors get out of a car and it moves. Not a lot, just a small jolt, but quite noticeable. Apparently this is normal if you put an automatic transmission in park and get out quickly. Everyone I know here (mostly manual transmission) always pulls the parking break when parking, so the car only moves up because of the weight of the person getting out.

    Whenever we park (in an automatic), we set the parking brake, because we do Not like feeling that small jolt.

    A surprising number of new cars these days just... don't seem to have a parking brake control? at all?? anywhere???

    And the rest have it as a button instead of a manual thing you can pull if the computer goes haywire. What is the state of cars coming to.
