minus-squareCronyAkatsukilinkfedilink3•5 days agoHere it’s know as a e brake, and for me at some point forn a few days was my main brake after my brake pedal broke but I still needed to get to work. Was fun learning how to use it on how to stop on a highway.
minus-square@Jarix@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink2•edit-24 days agoOh I know that’s what we call it, we all call it that it seems, but it’s a parking brake. For parking. Very bad to use in an emergency situation. Just seemed to be a good technicality to point out in a thread about someone getting a manual transmission car and asking newbie advice.
minus-square@sem@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilink2•4 days agoYeah you use it when you park, but it’s still called an e-brake or emergency brake around here.
