When stopped in traffic, I usually select drive and apply the parking brake. Is it safe to do so and does it damage either the parking brake or the transmission?
It is generally safe to apply the parking brake when stopped in traffic, but it is always best to refer to the car manufacturer's recommendations. In terms of damage, selecting drive and applying the parking brake should not cause any significant harm to either the parking brake or the transmission.
