    Not really. Once the car is stopped, and being held by the parking brake, there's no other wear going on, regardless of slope. It's while the car is moving that the brakes are wearing.

    As long as a car is parked and not moving there is no wear on the brakes.

    if it is a manual transmission, never put on the emergency brake.....leave it in first gear.....if it is an automatic, just put in in park......just point your tires to whatever edge the driveway is slanting towards......take care....Brian......
