    The car should stop under the dryer anyway, so I don’t see why pressing the brake is a problem.

    The car never stops. It’s in motion when the “Drive Away” light comes on. You’re expected to drive forward, not stop. The car is still being pushed forward when you’re expected to go forward so braking actually fights the pushing mechanism.
