A Honda rep at the NEC show said that the parking brake was "out of comfortable reach" so people transitioning from a regular manual to a DCT wouldn't slide down the road if they forgot they didn't have a clutch. A bit like the first time you drive an automatic car after using manuals for years and skid to a halt when you go to change gear...
So I guess they aren't expecting people to use it when in motion. I wonder if the parking brake has different pads that might not like being regularly used...who knows?!
