[rocman23]

very rarely, as a matter of fact when i do put it on i forget that its on and usually end up driving for a little while with it on then i smell smoke andrealize what's going on. so sad

 

[big j 33]

In an automatic, only on a very steep hill.

In a manual, every time, occasionally putting it into 1st as well.

used it once, it saved my life

I was during with a green light, I was talking to the people in the back seat, my friend in the passenger seat said "Oh !@#$" he pulled the ebrake, acar full of people pulled out of nowhere, almost hit them head on going 65mph, with no seat belts on (I don't wear seat belts)

because he doesn't want to?

I never use my parking brake. I probably should since my driveway is really steep but i ain't worried about it.

word. i'm just wondering. i'm not telling you to change what you do. lol

but do you think the people who have gotten hurt with seatbelts on outweigh people who got hurt without it on?

 

[emaych417]

I use it only when i'm parking for a long period of time.



BTW, what are you "supposed" to do first when parking and when driving off: put it in park then engage the e-brake, or vise versa?

 

[akf0dy7]

i always do. it just a habit that i picked up from my parents when they taught me how to drive.

 

[brownin187]

i dont think ive ever used it..i have used it to drift though.

 

[curious kevin]

i always thought you're supposed to use all the time.

its not only that, but if I something happens then it happens, also I've gotten a ticket for driving without a seat belt to

 

[nicefro]

I use it whenever I drive.

 

[sjsneakerheadiii]

Everyday.

Our driveway is slanted.

Not with an automatic (only on inclines).

My car now is a manual so I use the ebrake all the time.

 

[jetakayao]

depends on what kind of surface i'm parked on
