Just use your left foot to hold the foot brake while you apply gentle pressure on the gas pedal with your right foot. |
That's what I've been doing - but it seems pretty lame to me. I'm in a town with mostly college kids, and it's very, very hilly. This combination means folks right on my arse and lots of potential slipping. Did I mention that it snows a lot in the winter as well?
It seems to me that the rolling back happens a bit randomly as well - for example, I reverse out of my garage every day, down the hill exactly the same amount each time. Sometimes the car will hold firm as I shift into D, other times it will start to slip down. I don't particularly hate that it does that (even though it is a bit irritating), but I really don't like that I never know when it's going to *choose* to it!!!
