Do you use your parking brake every time you park?


My girl is mad at me that I don't. I never use it except when on an incline. What about you all?

I never use it. I see no need in an automatic in a flat place like Florida.

Most people do not use it due to living where the land is flat, and most do not drive manual cars. The parking break is mostly for when you are on an incline or you drive a manual transmission.

I use it often, I have a driveway gate that I have to get out for. So I just go to neutral and use my hand break, easier than going to park each time I get out.

Where I am in Canada our driver training says it should be used anytime the car is in park and shit off.

My car turns it on and off automatically.

Yep. I drive an automatic & live in a fairly flat city, so I never use it.

Of course, it takes the stress off of the parking pawl and prevents your car from moving if someone hits it.

Just on hills or if I think it might roll off.

Also when warming the car up.

Do some cars not move with the parking brake on? There've been times when I've driven all the way home without realizing I never undid the brake.

The parking/emergency break is intended to stop you moving, yes. Sure, you can force it regardless but you'll do your car some last damage likely.

Absolutely unnecessary unless you are using a manual or parking on a significant incline. I can't even fathom what people think will happen if your automatic is parked on level ground without the hand brake pulled. Really, I would love to know.

Well since you're asking:

1. If you parked your car on the street, then having the parking brake engaged will keep it from rolling away or moving in the case that its struck by another car.

2. Using the parking brake can prolong the life of the parking pawl. It can wear out over time since there is a lot of stress that gets put on it when the parking brake is not engaged. This is why the car can sometimes roll back a couple of inches after you park, but pulling the parking brake can alleviate this.

"The simple answer to this question is: Engage your cars parking brake every time you park your car. It doesnt matter if you park your car on an incline, a decline, or the flattest spot on the planet, you should engage the brake every single time."
