Put it in neutral or use a handbrake. You are blinding those behind you. Especially annoying in the rain.

Auto-hold is helpful with automatic gearbox. I find it helpful in a car but driving almost any pre-2010 manual car requires mastering the clutch and hill start.

I’d not call auto-hold critical, neither would I call the “defogger” critical for that matter.

The only two critical things in a car would be in my book: working brakes and tires in good condition. Everything else - meh. If it has a minimum 3 wheels and a steering wheel, I’d drive it.

Blinding them with my brake lights?

This is a strange take on it, defogging is rather critical unless you have a rag handy, you have to see.

Wipers - rather critical. Engine - very critical. Seatbelts - rather critical of you value your life Fuel tank that holds fuel - very critical.

Auto hold is far from critical and I have only encountered it on large trucks back when I was a truck driver.

> Put it in neutral

I think you mean park

Putting it in neutral and letting off the break on a hill would end very badly

If you drive automatic, yes, park is a better choice!
