You'll really fucking enjoybeing behind a large merc E class with "hold" functionality then... No need for any handbrake there and lovely bright high tail lights. Its part of the whole automatic box thing. You would be best addressing that particular part to the manufacturer.

Almost everyone who drives an automaticwill leave it in D at traffic lights, and sit with their foot on the brake.
If you're in the USA, almost everyone drives an auto. I find the brake light thing a bit annoying there because of that.
I notice that an increasing number of cars in London are automatic (presumably because they're less of an effort to drive in stop-start traffic), so it's becoming an issue there too.

Teh great thing isyou dont even have to leave your foot on the brake as a sharp "tap" sticks it on "hold" leaving your brake light shining. I have now written to Mercedes to ask if they will consider a method of turning the brake lights off for the "hold" function and treating it as if you were using the handbrake (which is a bit of an arse if you drive an automatic).
