My wife and I have a difference in opinion here. Is it proper driving technique (for manual OR auto transmission cars) to engage the main/foot brake before starting your car? Here's an example. An automatic car has the hand brake on and is on a flat surface. You get into the car and start the engine. Is it proper to just shift from Park to Drive, dissengage the parking brake, then apply the gas? Or the second choice, press the foot brake first, start the car, disengage the parking brake, and then put the car into gear. Is one safer, better, or what's the general opinion out there?
