depends on when the parking brake was last used.if it hasn't been used in quite awhile it could stick making the car undriveable.to avoid this take it to a brake shop and have them go through the system and clean/lubricate as needed.if it was mine probally not. but if the incline is severe enough , over time it could bend the park mech. inside the transmission.

In the UK the parking brake is called the handbrake, a motor vehicle must, by law, have at least two independent ways of applying the brakes. This is normally achieved on a car by having the foot brake hydraulically or, rarely, pneumatically operated and the hand brake cable operated.Added: (in the US) you must also have an operational parking (or hand) brake.In Canada, at least, (and I strongly suspect in USA and Australia) that is wrong. You DO require a parking brake as an emergency standby. The point is your regular brakes depend on hydraulic fluid and rubber seals, while the parking or emergency brake depends on cables. -A totally separate system.You also need the parking brake when parking the vehicle on an incline.
