There is now a magnetic sign on the tailgate of my pickup.
Danger
Manual Transmission
Vehicle may
Roll Backwards
I do not believe I have owned an automatic transmission since around 1971. I can hold the rig steady on any hill with the clutch. I have no problems whatsoever.
I put that sign there to keep people off my ass at stoplights and it seems to work. While it doesn't eliminate the annoyance it certainly minimizes it.
Yesterday when I stopped at a red light the woman behind me pulled up, saw the sign and backed up a bit.
We were facing downhill!
I do believe I would put this on a vehicle with an automatic transmission because it works so well.

Preventing a car from rolling with the clutch is rough on the clutch. Have you tried using the parking brake instead? Just another way of doing something...
