when applying the car handbreak should the button on the end be pressed in, or is this done just to release the handbreak

 

when i was taught i has to push the button in, in both cases.

I think if you dont push the button in it can be classed as a minor fault on a test.

 

I was taught to push the button in when appling the handbrake….listen to the noise it makes if you don't - that is obviously going to wear it out in time.

Mind you my dad insists he was taught to slow down for corners using his gears rather than his brake! I think the fact that every car he has owned has developed gear box problems might show the folly in that one!

 

If a woman is applying the handbrake it is to be pulled as hard as possible without pushing in the button and thus be almost fvcking impossible to release and render the handbrake useless after a weeks use.

 

I was also taught to use the gear for braking. Tricky bit was building up the revs to balance initial running speed on the lower gear. No problems now. I always buy automatics.

 

Narthen I was taught NOT to brake using gears.</p>



Mind, I'm normally a bit pissed when driving so when I hit the wall at home I know I need to turn the engine off.</p>

 

Noooo, you should allus slow down using gears, saves brakes, petrol and more environmentally friendly.

Unless you're a woman like, then you accelerate till you're 2ft from traffic lights/car in front then slam them on.

 

Brought that one up with my driving instructor about using gears cause it saves the brakes....his comment - "What's cheaper? New brake pads or a new gear box?!"

Using that technique will hardly result in needing a new gear box. Gears are an effective way of braking, if you time the revs right you hardly need the brakes.

You

can't even go round corners without mounting the pavement with all 4 wheels, thus rendering your views on driving null and void.

no, too much puppy fat too.

Oh, and southern

 

At 22 it's not puppy fat. She's just fat.

 

Bigger the cushion, better the pushing.

 

That's how old tarts like you console themselves when they find they've woken up next to yet another fat old trout.

It starts to annoy the instructor after a while, ratcheting the handbrake that is. (furious)
