A little anecdote related to brake hold.
Before my 2 jazz I had for many years driven manual cars with conventional handbrakes. I developed a bad habit in stop /start traffic of applying the handbrake a fraction of a second before the car fully stopped. I wasnt stopping the car on the handbrake over a significant distance where the lack of brake lights might take the driver behind buy surprise. Literally just a fraction of a second when the car is obviously virtually stopped. But still wrong.
I thought the electric handbrake had cured me. The powerful handbrake stops the car with a significant Jolt if its still moving, however slightly. Indeed its best delay the handbrake by half a second after coming to a stop or there may be a creak as the car settles back on its springs.
But with Brake Hold I realised I'm not quite cured. In slow stop /start traffic I still sometimes assume the car has fully stopped when the very sensitive abs system is able to detect the wheels are still rotating slightly. Thus when I think the car will be held by brake hold it actually creeps forward again as Automatics normally do. Easily rectified by braking again, but quite embarrassing.
I can easily detect the difference between really stopped and not quite stopped if I put my mind to it , I'm just being sloppy. In my defence I think sometimes if vehicles in an adjacent lane are moving slightly it can create a deceptive optical illusion. Thats my feeble excuse and I'm sticking to it
