being that it is a mechanical device with not too much to do with the normal operating brakes, I'd consider it an emergancy brake, but is it really considered that or is it a parking that can be used in an emergancy???

try to use it to stop the car if the nature of your emergency is that you have no pads because someone left the PARKING brake on...
the 911's fully redundent shoe mechanism is a true emergency brake... anyway - this is why i always call it the "hand brake.' less to type, too. (as opposed to the 'service brake' ...) |
