I always put it in gear + pull the e-brake. It's a habit, and it's the right thing to do if you love your car.  |

why do you guys call it an e-brake (emergency-brake) its actually called a PARK BRAKE...
pulling up the "emergency brake" in an emergency isn't gonna save anyone since rear only does ~20% of braking .... just my 2 cents

I think the hand brake started out as the emergency brake. Now you can call it whatever you want - hand brake, e-brake, actually "parking brake" is the least traditional

When I park, I usually just throw the car in neutral whiles slowing down and use my brake and ebrake to stop and then put my car in Park... I just bought a brand new car so I do this so there is less stress on the tranny.... And if the car ever did roll because of the ebrake then the tranny would just catch it...

On a second note, remember to do a brake inspection especially on drum brake systems. Sometimes you need to calibrate it(adjust the shoes) so the Parking brake actually works. I don't know how many times I've driven cars that can still move at a fast pace even with the parking brake all the way up!!! It's crazy..... | ebrake is a set mechanical resistance you'll always be able to overpower it and drive. sure adjusting shoes will help it hold, but you'll always be able to drive away with it on.

I never use the e brake in a auto car though, never found the need to. Park gear will stop it from rolling anyways. On my manual car though, i pull ebrake and put it into 1st. Sometimes i forget to pull the e brake but i ALWAYS remember to put it into 1st

e-brakes on except after tracking, putting on the e-brake while the rotors are still roasting hot can bend the rotors

Sometimes i forget to pull the e brake but i ALWAYS remember to put it into 1st | i've seen an auto car roll away with the trans in park after being bumped by another car in a parking lot. it happened to a co-worker at an old job when this truck bumped her civic and it started rolling down an incline, making that loud ticking sound (the pin/parking pawl/whatever it's called in the trans broke) all the way down until it hopped the curb and stopped. and no she didn't use her parking brake.
