Why not even a useful “handbrake” will hold the car?

Getting stuck in a car in a parking lot near the house – a phone, a favorite song or just a desire to sit in silence – you
Getting stuck in a car in a parking lot near the house – a phone, a favorite song or just a desire to sit in silence – you can hear an unpleasant chatter and feel a movement that should not be, because the car is secured with a parking brake. Is the mechanism or brake pads so worn that they won’t hold the vehicle on the slope, or is there something else going on? The reasons for such a dangerous phenomenon are explained by the AvtoVzglyad portal.
With the increased popularity of automatic transmissions, Russians en masse no longer pay attention to the handbrake. And before, when cars with manual transmissions prevailed, they used them for gigs, preferring to leave them ‘in gear’, and now even more so. The only category of drivers who still remember the parking brake are the youngsters who use the button for elegant cornering. Not always with success, but always with emotions.
As automatic transmissions became widespread, we learned about the “scissors” and about the electric parking brake, which is more of a problem than a convenience. Modern technologies in Russian reality are a classic example of “they don’t look for good from good”. The good old “poker” more or less reminded of the need to repair the car in the parking lot, but the newfangled keys and other buttons often just remain under a thick layer of dust – the Russian driver himself knows what is best for him, there is no need to teach him.
But the handbrake is extremely important, especially when it comes to a car with an “automatic”: a thin metal pin, on which all the one and a half tons of the car is held, simply flexes without the help of a “handbrake”, causing the whole assembly becomes unusable. It’s scary to even think how much it costs to rebuild a box now: you have to look for spare parts and their prices are sky high. The probability of buying a contract node – whichever model we are talking about – is quite low, the market is empty.
To sum up the above: the handbrake is not only necessary, it is necessary and fully usable. However, no one canceled the wear of the mechanism and pads, and under such conditions the usual “pulled and disappeared” approach loses its relevance. Here either change everything and completely according to the first “cracking”, or dig into memory: in a driving school they pay attention to the use of this node. In both theoretical and practical lessons, teachers record a series of actions, which, of course, “fade” over time.
So you must first press the brake pedal, then use the button and only then raise the parking brake lever until it stops or until it clicks. This is the only way the “handbrake” holds the car in place, transferring the load completely from the transmission to the brake pads. But the middle position or the “middle” will not cope with this task.
