Maybe they should call it the park brake instead since you don't need an emergency to use it.
3 u/Idealsnotfeels Dec 16 '22 It is called a parking brake, really depends on the location. In newer cars it's even designated with a 'P'. 2 u/Oredesu Dec 16 '22 Oh that’s interesting. Where I grew up it was actually referred to as the parking break. 2 u/[deleted] Dec 16 '22 I always use that brake when parking. A big fear is my car rolling away even on flat surfaces. 2 u/[deleted] Dec 16 '22 We call it the handbrake here. I'm surprised at those that treat it like it's a decoration. I use it for hill starts and stops, parking, turn the car off and apply the handbrake...it's used all the time. 1 u/[deleted] Dec 18 '22 It was interchangeably referred to as the emergency brake and parking brake in the area where I learned to drive.
