  1. Trivial safety tip from an ex-driver. If you're at a set of lights, it is good practice to learn to apply the emergency/park/hand brake. Why? The forces applied to your body (and sometime the surprise) if you get rear-ended will pull your foot off the brake, causing your vehicle to ricochet forward, sometimes clear across the road or possibly into cross traffic. Having the handbrake applied mitigates that lurch forward and may prevent a more serious situation. Just remember to release the emergency/park/hand brake when the lights go green.
