Will the car move if it stalls without the handbrake engaged?

[LaValentina]

Turning off the engine without engaging the handbrake has no effect on the brake pads. However, it does affect the metal cables of the handbrake. There's no need to pull the handbrake too high; even when parking on a slope, it's not advisable to pull it too high. Instead, you can place a brick in front of or behind the wheel. After parking and turning off the engine, it's essential to engage the handbrake first, as it benefits the car. This is a standard regulation for all car models from every manufacturer. Below are the specific reasons: 1. Regulation: After parking, leaving the car in gear without engaging the handbrake offers no benefits and only disadvantages. After parking and turning off the engine, the handbrake must be engaged first. This rule applies to all car models from any manufacturer. No car model stipulates parking and turning off the engine without engaging the handbrake, only leaving it in gear. 2. Risk: For gasoline cars, parking on a flat surface with the engine off and only leaving it in gear without engaging the handbrake may keep the car stable, but it offers no benefits to the car and poses some potential risks.
