That's what I do. Let them know my car's stick.

Wouldn't it make more sense just to let the clutch out a little till it starts to engage while still on the brake. Then when you let go of the brake give a little gas and ease off the clutch like normal that way you don't roll backwards on a hill and it looks like you actually know how to drive

i agree on that also. either that just be able to master and catch everything smoothly so you barely even roll an inch. that was the way i was taught and i take every hill like a champ.

sure, if you're used to the car you're driving and know when your clutch starts to grab and stuff. i didn't. i'd start to worry everytime the car rolled back. even if it was just an inch, it felt like a freaking foot when i was learning. the e-brake method was more of a safety net for me. like i said, i tried it maybe once, but it's nice to know that it's an option when you're first starting off. comforting, if you will.

Even if you aren't familiar with the car you can still where the clutch starts to engage if you let it out slowly. Just let it out till you start to feel tension then when you let off teh brake you don't roll back.
