POV: your brakes fail while exitingthe highway 😳 #carguy #cars #bmw

Survival instincts of a good driver
The emergency brake serves as a vital mechanical fail-safe that operates independently from your vehicle's primary hydraulic system.
Its main responsibility is to securely anchor the car while parked, preventing unnecessary strain or damage to the transmission's internal components.
Beyond parking, it acts as a critical backup should your foot brakes fail, using a system of cables to manually slow the wheels.
It also assists manual drivers during tricky hill starts by preventing the vehicle from rolling backward before the engine engages.
Since this system can seize up if left untouched for too long, do you make it a habit to engage your parking brake every time you turn off the engine?
What are your thoughts?
