thats first i heard of that? do you suggest putting into neutral and clutch up when waiting? i always have clutch in, in gear and sit on brakes |
Shouldnt sit on the brakes either, means the discs cool down at different rates and more often than not leads to warped discs.

Handbrake is there for a reason 
Using the footbrake instead of the handbrake would fail you in a test now.

as colganraz said i always sit with it in geat and foot on brakes is that only if you are waiting for extended time or even if your sitting at a cross road waiting for it to be clear?
that could be the reason why my last 2 sets of discs have warped. learn something new every day lol

sitting in gear is a very big no as the thrust bearing is being put through loads of punishment
your clutch wil llast so much longer neutraling it each time

I'm not sure if the internet is the best place to learn how to drive, though.

307 = recalled up to 3 different times for catching fire & the horn push has a built in design fault
The RD3 radio's fitted to the 307 dont last to long either before just giving up
