As you said - that's what the hand brake is for. Performing a hill start correctly is often part of driving tests in the UK.

  Not all cars have hand operated emergency brakes.

    I've never in my life seen a manual car that doesn't have a hand brake.

      He means hand brakes with direct mechanical action. Electronic emergency brakes do not count.

        Yeah I know - I'm saying that in Europe every single manual car has a proper mechanical hand brake.

          Many US cars had foot operated emergency brakes when I was younger. Also, in the US, pickup trucks are the most popular personal vehicles, right now...and they typically have foot operated emergency brakes.
