What you call the e-brake is the handbrake over here (yes I know US cars also have a foot operated lever for it)

Regardless it should always be applied when leaving the car even on autos - you can't rely on the gearbox pawl holding the car.

We are also taught that the front wheels should be turned into the kerb (curb) when parking on a hill.

Good job you don't need to take a UK driving test - you would fail if the handbrake is not applied!
