I do like the manufacturers that do take manual driving situations into account. Example, an automatic Toyota Camry comes with a foot operated parking brake. However, if you get the same model Camry in manual, it comes with a hand brake instead.

The only manual I've seen that has a foot operated parking brake is the Hummer H3. Guess GM doesn't think everything through or are just too cheap to cater properly to us manual drivers.
There are still large numbers of automatic vehicles out there that a brand new that will still roll back if you are not quick enough on the throttle. Auto+electric park brake and slow brake to gas transition will cause it to roll back.
ICBC will often side with the driver in front as there is no way to prove distance and if you simply give the details of the location and the incident they will know exactly what happened.
Seen it so many times in North and West Van.
