The advantage of using the hand brake IMO
1. Its a lot cheaper than the clutch.
2. If it breaks up, no prob getting home or to a workshop.
3. With a lil practise your speed in using it is close to using padding.
4. Its a lot easy on your left leg.
5. Handbrake when engaged is engaged (in a good car), unlike the half clutch where any movement you make can cause jerking, switching off etc.
