This is important to ensure that the car remains stationary and does not roll forward or backward unintentionally. Applying the handbrake provides an extra layer of safety while the car is stopped, especially if there is a slope or incline. It is a standard procedure to engage the handbrake whenever the car is parked or stopped for an extended period of time.
