I was sure this was in the Highway code
Although some people on here feel I defend Honda too much
there is still some responsibility of the owner to do the following
especially if parking on a hill
( then if your handbrake does fail the car should be held in place by the gears)

252

Parking on hills. If you park on a hill you should

park close to the kerb and apply the handbrake firmly
select a forward gear and turn your steering wheel away from the kerb when facing uphill
select reverse gear and turn your steering wheel towards the kerb when facing downhill
use ‘park’ if your car has an automatic gearbox
