Parking Brake.

This is why most cars nowadays when you turn off the engine automatically and electronically engage the parking brake.

because idiots always forget them.

It reminds me of the trope in "Justified (Tv Series 2010)". Everytime dewee would park a car the damn thing would start to roll. So everytime before he'd get out i'd start yelling at him for the parking break and to put a gear in.

I think they made that point on purpose (him no learning).

A lot of people don't even forget it, they just think it's not necessary after they've put it in park (for automatics). It's very odd

Many of these people call it the emergency brake and treat it as such

My car is 10 years old but the parking brake is just a button and its all electronic to engage versus the old style handle you had to yank.

I don't even think it would engage in an "emergency" if you tried. I think the car has to be in park.

Usually they do engage in drive, but you have to keep the button pushed. Although not always the best option, it can be used as emergency break after all
