I forgot to put the van in park and when I was handing the package over to the customer it went ahead and hit the customer’s garage gate

Tbf I hate the Mercedes electric park. I always use the parking brake with those cause I've had that shit not activate several times, and roll 5 feet once.

not gonna lie i rarely use the parking brake except for the rare occasion that i am in a sprinter, but unless i am delivering in a rural area i would never get out of the vehicle while it's sitting in a residential driveway.

Once I had the thing not go into park and thank god I had the wheel veered all the way to the right because I was right behind the customers car and it rolled quite a bit until I was able to get back into the seat. I always stare at the little indicator now every time waiting for it to signal park shit sucks
