Apparently many in America learned and use this handbrake method exclusively and in Europe it seems to be the norm.

I’m just curious what my friends over here do. Some folks have questioned that it is an issue of coordination, though I think it is a learned preference.
Despite how much fun it is to buy & install clutches I still prefer to minimize clutch wear anyway I can. Just 1 way I'm going green for the environment.
