haha thought about that too. However, thats why it progressively applies not "bam" because technically its still used for emergency stopping if your standard brakes go out but certainly not quickly.
That happened to me recently. Gf has a 2011 Regal with the elec park brake in the center console. Her old car (2000 Sunfire) has the window switches in the center console. Me driving the Regal one day with her decides to roll up her window, and without thinking applies the park brake at around 45mph. Rear of the car squats down and the car slows down QUICKLY. Then she hits me and says "what the f**k are you..... oh shit I'm sorry babe!! Scared the shit out of both of us. Yep it works at speed.
Cleetus McFarland it most likely told you to service the parking brake because it recognized that the brake came on while the car was moving... Probably doesn't need serviced. . But it will if you keep rippin' on it...DIFD!
Craig Cundiff some of these systems work with your stability control/ABS system and applies the full normal braking system when applied at speed. The actual parking brake only works when the car is stopped or as a last resort if the car doesn't slow down with the ABS system. That's how it's stopping gradually without locking up the wheels. You can do that all day without hurting anything.
Don King no most manufacturers like German cars for example don't work like this crappy American one, they are used only for parking and can't be engaged during driving, One either you put your gear in park you then pull it up to put the car into a fully parked state, they have something called auto hold which can hold the brakes for you so you don't have too aswell you just push it with your foot on the brake and then put your foot on the break and push the button to release, this is for use on hills or traffic etc
Chatta290 not true .. my audi a6 c6 uses this as an emergency brake also .. if i pull it whilst driving it engages to slow the car down with a beeping noise also . if i let it go it disengages .. it works really well for emergency situations if necessary ..
Parking brake button, engine start button whats next oil change button? With new unused oil in a separate reservoir? ( by the way if your gonna steal that idea i want 20%)
Actually, some dumbass has invented a car where the "oil change" is done by replacing a cartridge, like replacing the toner cartridge on your printer. Of course, the cartridge is proprietary, and they could charge you up the wazoo...
My grandmother has a Buick and she pushed the parking break button (by accident because she thought it was the window) while I was driving on the highway. It jolted the car but then disengage almost right away. Just a sharp, terrifying jolt.
@@vjosa8041 I don't remember to well to be honest as it happened around 2016 or so. It automatically disengaged almost immediately as I was panicking about why the wheels all locked for a split second. It was kinda like when your adaptive cruise accidentally detects a pothole as a wall. Same feeling.
You have an electronic rear caliper. It engages the normal braking pads electronically via an electric piston that is threaded in. So when you press that magical button, the piston has to travel which is why the brake gets progressively stronger, and it's also electric, meaning you cant use it for drifts, as that piston always travels the same speed and only gets progressively closer to the pad, which sucks for drifting.
From memory, if you pull it while moving at higher speeds it uses the abs module to lift the line pressure and provide a certain amount of deceleration (about 0.2g), it then winds in the electronic park brakes below a certain speed.
I would expect it to stop while going. You need a backup in case you lose your regular brakes. Although I prefer a mechanical brake myself. The electric brake uses a motor to close the brake shoes, so you can lose all of your brake fluid and it would still work. With a mechanical e-brake, it uses a cable to pull the brake shoes closed, like on a bicycle, so it too still works if you lose fluid or master cylinder, but it does not rely on electronics to work either so it is more dependable. The main reason for hand brakes on manual transmission cars is for when you are stopped on a hill you can use it to get going again without rolling backwards or burning out the clutch.
With most of these electronic brakes (a lot of 2010-2012 cars had them), you can pull away with the brake on and it'll automatically disengage - which is really useful for hill starts
really useless you mean. it automatically disengages, yes, and if you are on loose surface and the wheels spin, the car goes backwards/hits other cars/rails or whatever.
@@EbilEnemyofBurgerTown It doesn't...It'll just slow the spinning like regular braking. Just have to drop it in low gear and kick the clutch to do any kinda drifting in these cars 🤦🏽♂️
most dudes I've ever met named Cleetus drove a long bed Ford or Chevy with a tore up skoal bandit sticker in the back window poppin some cherry bomb glass packs and a 9 foot cb antenna swingin around.
i think he means starting up on an incline from a stop... use the e brake to help from rolling back. its useful on really steep inclines. for parking, i always leave it in gear... better than just the e brake alone which can fail or freeze if ur in the north where we have real winters, or it can loosen up and the car can roll back
this is exactly the same as a hand brake except it is electronically applied. Pretty much the dumbest unnecessary thing ever installed in modern vehicles.
And the worst part about it is that there really isn't any good reason for it. Hell, all that electronic BS probably adds to manufacturing costs. They could probably make the e-brake hydraulic for all that cost.
Honestly, I feel like it adds weight and cost. If it was a styling thing I'm pretty sure they could just have nice stitching on the hand brake, there are really nice looking hand breaks
Manual hand brakes work fine. Why companies feel the need to change items on a car that work fine as is. I feel safer in a car with a normal handbrake then this ableism-fueled nonsense of a switch.
Le Enderman those electronic brakes are just as safe as any standard braking system. this technology was refined for decades before it was deemed more than safe for mass public use. as a vw technician i have personally other than brake pads have never had to service or replace an electric parking brake system. you could have rusted cables that will snap. there could be a kink in the cable that won't allow you to fully use your brake on that side. I'm not saying it can't break. I've just never personally come across a broken system.
i also forgot to mention that usually the caliper has all of the braking stuff inside. meaning there's no cable or fluid. only way to make it not work is to unplug it.
+Ryan Bishop on the contrary, we have had a number of broken electronic parking brakes in my shop. Most memorable one was a Ford Fusion that had only locked up one wheel and the lady who owned it kept driving it for 30-40 miles before bringing it in. Pads were fucked and so was the tire
This did its job how it’s supposed to. It’s not meant to break right away since that locks the wheels and can creat accidents. For this reason the computer is set to break as fast as possible while taking into account the car info and conditions.
Electric "park" brakes are designed to be used as an emergency secondary brake but the module controlling it won`t let if fully apply till the vehicle gets below a certain road speed , it`s designed to slow the car initially during main foot brake failure till it`s slow enough to safely fully apply that`s why it came on harder from the lower speed at the first try .
I like my cars simple and old fashioned. My next car will have no ABS, traction control, stability control or airbags. Less things to break, also those Electric handbrakes are digital not analogue, they are either 1 or 0, whereas a hydraulic handbrake can be a whole range of values. I.e you have more control and can do handbrake turns. :) old cars are light and nimble and look far better than anything made today.
how is he a moron? because you can't drive and need all these crutches to help you stay on the road? some people actually know how to drive and don't need abs or stability control. as for the airbags part i think those should be in there for safety reasons.
Well you're not going to get any production car without ABS and some form of stability control because it's federally mandated. As far as a handbrake, there's absolutely no need for one on a decent sports car. The C7 is well balanced to the point that you can flick it, trail brake or pump the gas and the tail end will come out nicely if you want to slide around. The parking brake doesn't need to do anything but hold the car in place when it's parked...and an electronic one will do just that for less money and weight than mechanical linkage. As far as a hydraulic handbrake Mike was talking about, those are generally an aftermarket add-on. A vast majority of production handbrakes are just levers and cables acting on the brakes...no hydraulic pressure used. There's actually a better chance of an electronic brake being hydraulic as the system could theoretically use the car's independent ABS system to only brake the rear wheels. As for the "moron" comment...I would guess that's about the "old cars are light and nimble" as modern production cars are generally much lighter than their predecessors with more advanced suspension setups making them an order of magnitude more nimble. I don't know what "none of your business" was trying to get at, but I'm more than comfortable saying Mike is absolutely dead wrong about older cars being more nimble than what we've got today.
I had a seizure while driving on the freeway one day. The passenger pulled the E-brake, got my foot off the gas and steered the car through traffic and off to the side of the road. It took awhile to stop but it finally did. My E-brake and transmission worked just fine afterwards and were not damaged. I was going 75 when the passenger hit the E-brake.
I recently did the same thing (out of curiosity). I am worried that I messed something up on my car...Give me some reassurance that I didn't ruin my car lol.
My sister did this. The switch to pull the parking brake is right next to the switch to work the convertible top. It pretty much was like she slammed on the brakes
In many cars (if not all), Parking Brake IS Emergency Brake. They are never designed to be use other than those two reason. P-Brake (or E-Brake) use the SAME pads as your primary brake. When the primary circuit (electronic, mechanical, hydraulic, etc) fails, the P-Brake or E-Brake may be used (hence: Emergency Brake).
I did that by accident on a Jeep rental vehicle. Going about 15-20 and the Jeep stopped on a dime. Took me a minute to figure out how to disengage the parking brake. The guy behind me wasn't happy.
thomabb yeah they shouldn't work like this but it's just crappy American tech after all from the makers who couldn't make a proper gear selector resulting in people being killed, with German cars it's used only for when your gear is in park and your stopped otherwise it won't work, it's meant to be called a parking brake for a reason but these American companies falsely brand it something it isn't
Why would you NOT want a redundant backup breaking system in the event of a total brake failure? If that's the way German cars do it, it seems pretty stupid! Really, what's the downside to having the brake available when driving? I mean, historically, a cable-actuated e-brake is able to be used ALL the time, so why would you change the status quo just because you can?
Thanks for posting this. I can add that if you're driving down the road with your car on fire and the computer electronics go, your only option to get the car stopped is to throw it in Park, which thankfully brought us to an abrupt halt.
Usually the EPB uses the regular hydraulic brakes when the seat belt is buckled and driver door closed and slows to a pre-programmed rate. The electronic portion is usually on/off so try it again without your seat belt on.
They should have an option that after 20 miles an hour it should give you a couple seconds to disengaged. This is best when you have a passenger who just can't keep their hands off things. Also I mean an option as this can be switched on or off.
adam25000 Jeep stuff lol but its really difficult to stop at a stop sign and have this sweet amazing looking woman who could potentially do that and you say no? haha not a snow balls chance in hell you would say no. but the chances are odd? lol but in my case I go to a huge university where women are 3:1.
This is the one thing that keeps me from upgrading my car.I need manual handbrake that is separate from the main braking circuit, is a simple wire pulled secondary braking option, can be used as an emergency brake and can be used while driving (to initiate drift or anything else I want it for). This type of electric brake is a deal breaker for me, my car should never ever override or overrule my inputs as to what I want to do with it. If your main braking circuit is gone you can stop with engine braking (provided you have a stick-shift) + manual handbrake. If you have loss of power you can stop with a manual handbrake. If you want to start on a steep hill you need a manual handbrake or you must rely on hill hold assist or burn your clutch. This is about the most annoying intrusion modern cars have (other than start/stop which I'm not even going to comment on).
eduardoig17 no they don't, probably in America but in the U.K. Every one who drives a car usually learn in a manual otherwise they can't drive one legally only a automatic
In America guys who drive manual think they are better than everyone else, and say things like "guys who drive automatic are pussies." Here in America you show up to the department of motor vehicles' office near you and take your test. It doesn't matter what kind of car or truck you bring, the only thing that matters is that the vehicle is road legal.
Ivan Garcia no hear in the UK its very hard to pass your test and you can't use your won car also you have to do a theory test and have a certain amount of driving lessons
Chatta290 that is how it should be here in America because here it is almost impossible to fail your driving test, which means that we have a lot of really bad drivers. Even if you fail the parallel parking part of your test you can still pass the driving test and get your license. Mainly because here it is very rare for us to park parallel
Ivan Garcia yeah in the UK parallel parking is normal and in the cities that is the place you need to park, now they even make you know the different parts under the bonnet and what to do in every situation. that being said din the UK we have 60mph speed limits on small narrow roads and only motorways have a few lanes so usually you get one lane for each direction of traffic so there is more potential till for a crash however this more stingent test should help the accident rates. doesn't matter if you wont do it but you should still be taught
"I've worn my parking brakes?" They are just brakes. There is no separate "parking brake". The reason you can enable the parking brake like this is for emergencies should the foot pedal fail. Also, I love that you have to explain why there is a parking brake on a manual. Every single person the UK just laughed, all at the same time, whilst drinking a cup of tea :)
Colton Smith it's also called an emergency brake so there might be a situation where you need it while moving... edit...I just heard what he said at the end
Kenneth Barbee I really hope your joking. if not. its for if you were to park on something steep than you put that up and it will lock up the wheels to keep the car from rolling.
You do know that a function of a parking brake is too stop the car if the regular brakes aren’t working right? So it’s pretty obvious what will happen when you pull it. It will stop the car
Why do new cars have an electric hand brake with a tiny button that could pass off as just another switch ? You would think it should at least remain a large distinct handle or switch that is unmistakably a park brake. Secondly, why electronic? isn't that unnecessary when a simple mechanical brake can do the job. And what if the electrics fail, wouldn't a mechanic brake to useful as a backup ?
well sometimes its because of the exhaust, maybe he has a cat delete so the ecu can't find the cat temperature anymore and lights up the engine light. but I'm not sure..
Dale would laugh at this attempt. Dale would have ripped that parking brake switch going 150 mph then floored it around that cop then left him in a cloud of smoke.
David K most modern cars with 4 wheel disc brakes just have the hand brake push the caliper and pads against the rotor. so like a manual rear brake. i am aware that others have a separate boot inside the rotor though. but i think corvettes have the first one
fwd is total shit for drifting your just locking the rear ties and controlling it with rear you can add and take away power to control and elongate the drift.
As someone that mainly drives FWD cars, I have to agree with the RWD guys. Proper drifting is done with throttle control in a RWD. But at the same time, I think electronic e-brakes are stupid as hell when the user has zero control of it and unable to modulate the intensity of the braking.
thanks for havin bigger nuts than me man. been wantin to try this for a couple years now, but fuck man, almost 80 g's that car! I can barely afford gas, let alone for somethin to break, and the fuckin car tells on me at the dealer, then they fuck me off on a warranty claim for "improper use of a parking brake assembly". ur car will snitch you out bro, be carefull, and thanks again. mystery solved
On electronic brake systems, your car uses electronic sensor checking if brakes work or not. If 2 brakes or more are not responding or worn down, you simply can't disengange the park anymore. And if they reach that peak during driving, you get an display popup to turn over and call car-service. That is at least what they wrote in the manuals for cars like this in my country. Drove a Opel Vivaro at this time for company.
E breaks and parking breaks are the same on a manual gearbox. The parking break uses the rear breaks instead of front and rear breaks. but their are not any separate breaks for parking. You will wear down your rear breaks the same if you use your parking break or foot break.
Thor Dehr Going 100 kph down freeway and says "how does the window go down?" And pushes parking brake button. The frame freezes "it was at this moment that dale knew, he f***ed up"
Good thing that's not what happened and they weren't designed to lock up the wheels when used as an emergency brake. Good thing Potatoes aren't Grapes either.
Thor Dehr the idea of an emergency brake was if your car should fail to function say the battery goes the alternator is not functioning properly or the engine is off you can still manually use a separated cable to stop your car. obviously an electronic brake is going to let you die should you have an electrical failure. Or in other words an actual emergency
Some cars have seperate pads. A lot of cars has drumbrakes inside the disc for example. The Audi R8 for example, has separate brakecalipers for the parkingbrake. And the C7 looks like this.. www.corvetteforum.com/how-tos/a/corvette-c6-c7-how-to-replace-parking-brake-shoe-and-electronic-parking-brake-module-368093 So yes, he has a point, but is also wrong, they dont wear out after a couple of highspeed brakings..
No stupid, electronic parking brakes are designed to slow the car down rapidly in case the main brakes don't work, or your foot gets caught or something. You just pull up and hold it like you would a normal e-brake, and let go when you want to stop braking..
Austin Murphy Going 100 kph down freeway and says "how does the window go down?" And pushes parking brake button. The frame freezes "it was at this moment that dale knew, he f***ed up"
You are totally correct !!!! I don't think car makers are dumb lol there has to be an emergency brake. This option is way better than a hand brake. With this the full abs brakes come on ! and the car remains in a straight line !

No its not if it was like a hand brake then when it was activated the brakes would lock up. It just activated the normal brakes at a slow rate.
Xcaliber Trekker it's not hydraulic. it's an electric motor pulling on the cable which would normally be operated by the hand brake.

And the worst part about it is that there really isn't any good reason for it. Hell, all that electronic BS probably adds to manufacturing costs. They could probably make the e-brake hydraulic for all that cost.
Well they don't "need" it often but its good to have in hilly areas.
Yeah I leave my car in first most of the time.. And in hilly areas I will engage the parking brake.
Honestly, I feel like it adds weight and cost. If it was a styling thing I'm pretty sure they could just have nice stitching on the hand brake, there are really nice looking hand breaks
not only weight and cost, but more unnecessary components to add to your repair list in the future.
Manual hand brakes work fine. Why companies feel the need to change items on a car that work fine as is. I feel safer in a car with a normal handbrake then this ableism-fueled nonsense of a switch.
Le Enderman maybe so it won't mess up the design by having a big shaft sticking out lmao who knows
Le Enderman they do it to get money for whenever it brakes the owner has to pay money to fix it
Le Enderman those electronic brakes are just as safe as any standard braking system. this technology was refined for decades before it was deemed more than safe for mass public use. as a vw technician i have personally other than brake pads have never had to service or replace an electric parking brake system. you could have rusted cables that will snap. there could be a kink in the cable that won't allow you to fully use your brake on that side. I'm not saying it can't break. I've just never personally come across a broken system.
i also forgot to mention that usually the caliper has all of the braking stuff inside. meaning there's no cable or fluid. only way to make it not work is to unplug it.
+Ryan Bishop on the contrary, we have had a number of broken electronic parking brakes in my shop. Most memorable one was a Ford Fusion that had only locked up one wheel and the lady who owned it kept driving it for 30-40 miles before bringing it in. Pads were fucked and so was the tire
This did its job how it’s supposed to. It’s not meant to break right away since that locks the wheels and can creat accidents. For this reason the computer is set to break as fast as possible while taking into account the car info and conditions.
Electric "park" brakes are designed to be used as an emergency secondary brake but the module controlling it won`t let if fully apply till the vehicle gets below a certain road speed , it`s designed to slow the car initially during main foot brake failure till it`s slow enough to safely fully apply that`s why it came on harder from the lower speed at the first try .
i wouldn't buy a sports car that didn't have a proper handbrake.
Mike Seeds i wouldnt buy any car with e brake
what is a proper hand brake to you? and why is it so important?
I like my cars simple and old fashioned. My next car will have no ABS, traction control, stability control or airbags. Less things to break, also those Electric handbrakes are digital not analogue, they are either 1 or 0, whereas a hydraulic handbrake can be a whole range of values. I.e you have more control and can do handbrake turns. :) old cars are light and nimble and look far better than anything made today.
how is he a moron? because you can't drive and need all these crutches to help you stay on the road? some people actually know how to drive and don't need abs or stability control. as for the airbags part i think those should be in there for safety reasons.
Well you're not going to get any production car without ABS and some form of stability control because it's federally mandated. As far as a handbrake, there's absolutely no need for one on a decent sports car. The C7 is well balanced to the point that you can flick it, trail brake or pump the gas and the tail end will come out nicely if you want to slide around. The parking brake doesn't need to do anything but hold the car in place when it's parked...and an electronic one will do just that for less money and weight than mechanical linkage.
As far as a hydraulic handbrake Mike was talking about, those are generally an aftermarket add-on. A vast majority of production handbrakes are just levers and cables acting on the brakes...no hydraulic pressure used. There's actually a better chance of an electronic brake being hydraulic as the system could theoretically use the car's independent ABS system to only brake the rear wheels.
As for the "moron" comment...I would guess that's about the "old cars are light and nimble" as modern production cars are generally much lighter than their predecessors with more advanced suspension setups making them an order of magnitude more nimble. I don't know what "none of your business" was trying to get at, but I'm more than comfortable saying Mike is absolutely dead wrong about older cars being more nimble than what we've got today.
"Apparently now I've probably worn my parking brake pads a little bit." OMFG...
Simon King Yea idk how people have these cars built and still don't know jack squat about them.
@@secret5. lol
I used to detail cars and I've always wondered what would happen, didn't want to try in a customer's car though LOL.
I had a seizure while driving on the freeway one day. The passenger pulled the E-brake, got my foot off the gas and steered the car through traffic and off to the side of the road. It took awhile to stop but it finally did. My E-brake and transmission worked just fine afterwards and were not damaged. I was going 75 when the passenger hit the E-brake.
I recently did the same thing (out of curiosity). I am worried that I messed something up on my car...Give me some reassurance that I didn't ruin my car lol.
@@Poppyblockhead The innocent didn't seem to damage my car at all. E-brake and everything else worked fine afterwards.
It IS a emergency brake by the way, it controls the vehicle to a SAFE stop. Dave,,,
My sister did this. The switch to pull the parking brake is right next to the switch to work the convertible top. It pretty much was like she slammed on the brakes
Did he say "on this channel we do it for dale?" Dale Earnhardt?
Jay Lauren410 yes Dale sr
guard509 😂 i thought so. I respect it.
Was this supposed to be a comedy piss take? If not I feel genuinely sorry for you, FML!
I see the "Service Engine Soon" is on.
In many cars (if not all), Parking Brake IS Emergency Brake. They are never designed to be use other than those two reason. P-Brake (or E-Brake) use the SAME pads as your primary brake. When the primary circuit (electronic, mechanical, hydraulic, etc) fails, the P-Brake or E-Brake may be used (hence: Emergency Brake).
SPOILER: The car stops.
ok I WATCHED IT NOW GET OUT OF MY RECOMMENDED
doge I hope he shows up in your recommended everyday all day for the rest of your life. That's what you deserve for not doing it for Dale.
I did that by accident on a Jeep rental vehicle. Going about 15-20 and the Jeep stopped on a dime. Took me a minute to figure out how to disengage the parking brake. The guy behind me wasn't happy.
thomabb yeah they shouldn't work like this but it's just crappy American tech after all from the makers who couldn't make a proper gear selector resulting in people being killed, with German cars it's used only for when your gear is in park and your stopped otherwise it won't work, it's meant to be called a parking brake for a reason but these American companies falsely brand it something it isn't
Why would you NOT want a redundant backup breaking system in the event of a total brake failure? If that's the way German cars do it, it seems pretty stupid!
Really, what's the downside to having the brake available when driving? I mean, historically, a cable-actuated e-brake is able to be used ALL the time, so why would you change the status quo just because you can?
Are you pressing in the clutch as you do that? I'm curious if it stalls or not
Yes I held in the clutch...
I don't think no one would want to waste his engine.
Cleetus McFarland oh ok. I've never driven manual so I have no idea whether the car would save itself from stalling
Omar Rodriguez ok. Everything happens manually.
Waste his engine?
Thanks for posting this. I can add that if you're driving down the road with your car on fire and the computer electronics go, your only option to get the car stopped is to throw it in Park, which thankfully brought us to an abrupt halt.
Usually the EPB uses the regular hydraulic brakes when the seat belt is buckled and driver door closed and slows to a pre-programmed rate. The electronic portion is usually on/off so try it again without your seat belt on.
3:07 save some time
Thanks :D
Philip FC B MW welcome
Oscar _jcd this is why i love the YT comment section...vital info like this
They should have an option that after 20 miles an hour it should give you a couple seconds to disengaged. This is best when you have a passenger who just can't keep their hands off things. Also I mean an option as this can be switched on or off.
Josue rodriguez better just to not have those types of passengers...
adam25000 Jeep stuff lol but its really difficult to stop at a stop sign and have this sweet amazing looking woman who could potentially do that and you say no? haha not a snow balls chance in hell you would say no.
but the chances are odd? lol but in my case I go to a huge university where women are 3:1.
Josue rodriguez I don't have any problems saying no lol
adam25000 Jeep stuff Lol you say that now.
Josue rodriguez lol I don't like passengers, my Jeep is pretty important to me
Hi I'm drunk
SAME!
Miguel Reyes Hi Drunk
I swear to drunk im not god
high im not drunk im hi
I'm not as think as you drunk I am
I've actually wanted a Corvette since I was like 5, and with the 2016 and 2017 models I want one a million times more...
c7s are some of the ugliest theyve ever been. c6 however is one of my favorite cars.
This is the one thing that keeps me from upgrading my car.I need manual handbrake that is separate from the main braking circuit, is a simple wire pulled secondary braking option, can be used as an emergency brake and can be used while driving (to initiate drift or anything else I want it for). This type of electric brake is a deal breaker for me, my car should never ever override or overrule my inputs as to what I want to do with it. If your main braking circuit is gone you can stop with engine braking (provided you have a stick-shift) + manual handbrake. If you have loss of power you can stop with a manual handbrake. If you want to start on a steep hill you need a manual handbrake or you must rely on hill hold assist or burn your clutch.
This is about the most annoying intrusion modern cars have (other than start/stop which I'm not even going to comment on).
couldn't agree more with everything you said
I think its funny how some people that drive manual transmissions think they are high and mighty.
eduardoig17 no they don't, probably in America but in the U.K. Every one who drives a car usually learn in a manual otherwise they can't drive one legally only a automatic
In America guys who drive manual think they are better than everyone else, and say things like "guys who drive automatic are pussies." Here in America you show up to the department of motor vehicles' office near you and take your test. It doesn't matter what kind of car or truck you bring, the only thing that matters is that the vehicle is road legal.
Ivan Garcia no hear in the UK its very hard to pass your test and you can't use your won car also you have to do a theory test and have a certain amount of driving lessons
Chatta290 that is how it should be here in America because here it is almost impossible to fail your driving test, which means that we have a lot of really bad drivers.
Even if you fail the parallel parking part of your test you can still pass the driving test and get your license. Mainly because here it is very rare for us to park parallel
Ivan Garcia yeah in the UK parallel parking is normal and in the cities that is the place you need to park, now they even make you know the different parts under the bonnet and what to do in every situation. that being said din the UK we have 60mph speed limits on small narrow roads and only motorways have a few lanes so usually you get one lane for each direction of traffic so there is more potential till for a crash however this more stingent test should help the accident rates. doesn't matter if you wont do it but you should still be taught
Let me guess, absolutely nothing happens
EDIT: I was wrong
i throw rocks at blind kids badass name
i was thinking the same thing
I thought this, i tried it at 80mph on a motorway in my new car.....a little bit of poo came out!
engage the Big red button on a Uhaul that says don't engage while in motion.. doin 30km/h leaves a nice dual mark on road lol.
Wow.. a parking brake engages the brakes and stops the car? No wonder your channel is so big... Such quality content
"SALTY"
@@Nigel_THFC cope
"I've worn my parking brakes?" They are just brakes. There is no separate "parking brake". The reason you can enable the parking brake like this is for emergencies should the foot pedal fail. Also, I love that you have to explain why there is a parking brake on a manual. Every single person the UK just laughed, all at the same time, whilst drinking a cup of tea :)
The Bald Eagles in the ECM won't allow you to become a drifter/ricer?
I know... too much MURICA I suppose
Tyler Penley I wouldn't apply drifting to ricers because I bet no muscle heads could even do it right and it look good it does take some serious skill
Tyler Penley how are drifter and ricer the same? wouldn't drag racing be ricer shit at that point cause they can only go in a straight line?
Hi
you would think the car knows not to engage while moving
Colton Smith Well it's a performance vehicle so you might want to do it while moving
+Joseph North yea I'd be tempted too
Colton Smith it's also called an emergency brake so there might be a situation where you need it while moving... edit...I just heard what he said at the end
A parking brake isnt for use while driving? What do you use it for then?
Kenneth Barbee I really hope your joking. if not. its for if you were to park on something steep than you put that up and it will lock up the wheels to keep the car from rolling.
+Chronic yea im joking lol, but on RUclips you can't tell sometimes if people are joking or not. there's a lot of dull tools in the shed here
Kenneth Barbee The lengthy explanation must mean you weren't joking
You do know that a function of a parking brake is too stop the car if the regular brakes aren’t working right? So it’s pretty obvious what will happen when you pull it. It will stop the car
And parking brake and e brake is the same thing
Why do new cars have an electric hand brake with a tiny button that could pass off as just another switch ? You would think it should at least remain a large distinct handle or switch that is unmistakably a park brake. Secondly, why electronic? isn't that unnecessary when a simple mechanical brake can do the job. And what if the electrics fail, wouldn't a mechanic brake to useful as a backup ?
your check engine light is on.....
looks more like the tire pressure light.
***** no it was an engine light, orange and shaped like an engine
That's traction control on the top right if that's what your referring to
well sometimes its because of the exhaust, maybe he has a cat delete so the ecu can't find the cat temperature anymore and lights up the engine light. but I'm not sure..
Beast Boì it has an aftermarket tune. Par for the course
BEST INTRO IM DYING LMAO
Dale would laugh at this attempt. Dale would have ripped that parking brake switch going 150 mph then floored it around that cop then left him in a cloud of smoke.
I used to watch these videos and say to myself ohh Jesus. Now I say oh Cleetus.
That vette looks and sounds awesome!
I was hoping for some electronically controlled drifting haha
When I do that with my Prius..a parachute comes out the back and reverse thrust engines engage..
"apparently I've worn my parking brake pads a little bit" what the fuck???
Clay Moyer what do u mean lol
David K most modern cars with 4 wheel disc brakes just have the hand brake push the caliper and pads against the rotor. so like a manual rear brake. i am aware that others have a separate boot inside the rotor though. but i think corvettes have the first one
The BIG problem is that you can't drift with it .. what ? FUCK IT !
~ S.m.O it's rwd. Drift with the gas pedal
i hate rwd drifting idk but i see it so hard and the fwd is easy idk how i feel
fwd is total shit for drifting your just locking the rear ties and controlling it with rear you can add and take away power to control and elongate the drift.
~ S.m.O I bet you are a ricer.
As someone that mainly drives FWD cars, I have to agree with the RWD guys. Proper drifting is done with throttle control in a RWD. But at the same time, I think electronic e-brakes are stupid as hell when the user has zero control of it and unable to modulate the intensity of the braking.
If Roman and TheBackyardScientist had a baby XD.
If the brake stops you while you are moving when you lose your regular brakes.. Doesn't that qualify as an emergency brake?
can't believe i wasted 5 minutes watching this
That's interesting to say the least
Yeah... so random but had to try it lol
Everything's worth a shot
Should be some kind of clasp/cover over the parking brake pull to eliminate accidental set.
Wow Cleater u so young here…..lol been watching since 2016
You are supposed to be able to pull the button while you're moving if your brakes fail.
When he sounds like he just left the dentist 😂
thanks for havin bigger nuts than me man. been wantin to try this for a couple years now, but fuck man, almost 80 g's that car! I can barely afford gas, let alone for somethin to break, and the fuckin car tells on me at the dealer, then they fuck me off on a warranty claim for "improper use of a parking brake assembly". ur car will snitch you out bro, be carefull, and thanks again. mystery solved
J Rod LOL!
Holy crap a 5-year-old Cletus video. Wow the production quality has gone way up in Cletus in front of the cameras so much better now
On electronic brake systems, your car uses electronic sensor checking if brakes work or not. If 2 brakes or more are not responding or worn down, you simply can't disengange the park anymore. And if they reach that peak during driving, you get an display popup to turn over and call car-service. That is at least what they wrote in the manuals for cars like this in my country. Drove a Opel Vivaro at this time for company.
Cleetus, how did you get the fuel pressure to display on your LCD display?
so...then....handbrake turns are not a thing anymore......gay
Thats not the same. Maybe someone wants to use a C7 as a drift car.
I have always wondered what would happen driving 60 to 75 mph and shove a manual into reverse
HERPY DERPEDY you strip the gears
Val Polichshuk so no collateral damage say loose your transmission down the highway or they try to mesh and it doesn't end well
You can't. Reverse has to be engaged when stopped otherwise it grinds, as it doesn't have synchronizers. Learnt it the hard way :P
Try going that fast in an automatic and putting it in park or reverse.
An auto wont go into park or reverse.
E breaks and parking breaks are the same on a manual gearbox. The parking break uses the rear breaks instead of front and rear breaks. but their are not any separate breaks for parking. You will wear down your rear breaks the same if you use your parking break or foot break.
You look like Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspurs😂😂
That seat looks terrible
no wonder there's a cop! your literally go back and forth on the road turning on electric parking!
Not an emergency brake by any means?....
Seems it's a perfect emergency brake.
Thor Dehr Going 100 kph down freeway and says "how does the window go down?" And pushes parking brake button. The frame freezes "it was at this moment that dale knew, he f***ed up"
Good thing that's not what happened and they weren't designed to lock up the wheels when used as an emergency brake. Good thing Potatoes aren't Grapes either.
Wrong. I made the point.
Pleases me that you missed the point of the point.
Muting you in the meantime. Your 15 seconds of my time is up.
Thor Dehr the idea of an emergency brake was if your car should fail to function say the battery goes the alternator is not functioning properly or the engine is off you can still manually use a separated cable to stop your car. obviously an electronic brake is going to let you die should you have an electrical failure. Or in other words an actual emergency
If be surprised of anyone used a traditional hand brake in an emergency, never understood why Americans called e brake
"I'll wear out my parking brake pads"
There are no separate pads for P brake, it uses the regular ones that are used for braking.
Some cars have seperate pads. A lot of cars has drumbrakes inside the disc for example. The Audi R8 for example, has separate brakecalipers for the parkingbrake.
And the C7 looks like this.. www.corvetteforum.com/how-tos/a/corvette-c6-c7-how-to-replace-parking-brake-shoe-and-electronic-parking-brake-module-368093
So yes, he has a point, but is also wrong, they dont wear out after a couple of highspeed brakings..
Magnus Lagerström oh didn't know that, thanks for the info! Happy New Year mate!
No stupid, electronic parking brakes are designed to slow the car down rapidly in case the main brakes don't work, or your foot gets caught or something. You just pull up and hold it like you would a normal e-brake, and let go when you want to stop braking..
Austin Murphy Going 100 kph down freeway and says "how does the window go down?" And pushes parking brake button. The frame freezes "it was at this moment that dale knew, he f***ed up"
It just feels like you're pressing the brake moderately hard, when you pull it uo. My car has a brake button
You are totally correct !!!! I don't think car makers are dumb lol there has to be an emergency brake. This option is way better than a hand brake. With this the full abs brakes come on ! and the car remains in a straight line !
