Yes, it's totally stupid to use the handbrake, if there is no gradient, where you are parking.
And this is girl's behaviour. When I see a car parking and hear the "croongg" of the handbrake, I always look, who had done it - mostly women.
To avoid, that the handbrake stucks, you should use it it time by time, while driving. Sure, not violently, because the car can maybe slippering, but on this way you clean the discs/drums from rust, dirt and water.
Especially, when you are planning to park your car on a place, where a handbrake is necessary, you shold make this on the trip to that place.
I doesn't take much time, that a pulled brake can stuck. Once I had it after half an hour at my K 70! It was wintertime, the roads wet and salty and I've parked the car on the steep way downhill to my former garage. 30 minutes later I've opened the handbrake had the car was still standing - and the way down to the cellar-garage was indeed steep. After starting the engine and a big power on the wheels, fortunatley the "pang"-sound was coming and it was rolling again.
Oouhh, I remember a total idiot at my Bundeswehr-time. This Sargeant has fixed the handbrakes of all our VW Buses - any some were stucked. Surely from the cars close to the doors. And it's a real fucking handbrake-construction of the VW T3's.
O.k., it was the work for the technicans, not for me as the driver.
And this idiot has learned the car-mechanic-profession before his Army-times. But this hasn't helped anything. No kidding, he had really the opinion, that the oil-level has always be checked, when the engine is running...
