What causes discs to warp...

Just that....s'pecialy front's..

Iv'e allway's did that and never had any problem with warping the discs on any auto Iv'e had (and Iv'e had a few now), as for the poor people behind when the brake light's are on....tuff 5 hit, they can look away, simple.

I know that's that way your taught when driving at first, but how do it now.....!

I take it you mean sitting with the brake light's on, dazzling people behind, well nearly everyone I sit behind does this, there's very few that use a h/brake (well where I am).

Btw, I'm NOT the only one that does this, nearly everyone I know does it, maybe they dont realise or maybe they do. I mean if someone's b/light's dazzle me, I just look down, it's not the first time it's happened and wont be the last, it doesn't bother me.

Exactly, you keep your foot on the brake like the rest of us..unless (like you say) your sitting at long light's then it's into P.

...because it wears out the clutch. Holding it on the biting point is in effect allowing the clutch to slip which will result in accellerated wear of the friction plate. A friend of mine never used the handbrake instead holding the car on the cluch. Within a year he needed a new one.
