Eeh not sure what you mean with that?

Handbrake is used for parking, why wouldn't you use the parking brake, even in level pavement?? It's like the P on an automatic , but for Manuals.

And on a hill it's supposed to be parking brake + gear left in 1st

So not sure what skill has to do with it on a level pavement??
