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???

Okay, I'll bite. I say it's a parking brake you can use in an emergency. Hopefully you park your car more often than you have emergencies.

I'd call it an emergency brake.
Back a few months ago when my brakes failed (caliper died) and the pedal sunk to the floor, i had to use it to make an emergency stop (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) |

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' ...) |

Yeah, but then you parked it, right? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) |
