Can I leave the car in P gear without pulling the handbrake?

When parking on a flat road, there is not much difference between pulling the handbrake first or shifting to P gear first. However, if parking on a slope, it is best to pull the handbrake first and then shift into P gear to reduce the burden on the car's transmission gears. But when parking in P gear, the handbrake must be engaged; otherwise, it may cause damage to the transmission. Introduction to car gears: 1. P position (Parking gear): When the lever is in this position, the parking lock mechanism locks the transmission output shaft, preventing the car from moving. 2. R position (Reverse gear): When the lever is in this position, the reverse gear oil circuit of the hydraulic system is connected, the drive shaft reverses, and the car can move backward. 3. N position (Neutral gear): When the lever is in this position, the planetary gear system idles and cannot output power. 4. D position (Drive gear): Automatically adjusts to the required gear based on the speed of the car.
