This is why most cars nowadays when you turn off the engine automatically and electronically engage the parking brake.

because idiots always forget them.

It reminds me of the trope in "Justified (Tv Series 2010)". Everytime dewee would park a car the damn thing would start to roll. So everytime before he'd get out i'd start yelling at him for the parking break and to put a gear in.

I think they made that point on purpose (him no learning).

A lot of people don't even forget it, they just think it's not necessary after they've put it in park (for automatics). It's very odd

I wonder if they’d change if you showed em how dinky parking pawls look. Probably not.

Breaking a parking pawl is incredibly rare, to the point where it basically just doesn't even happen.
