Can the car brake effectively when it stalls on a slope?

When the car stalls on a slope, you can step on the brake. First, press the brake to prevent the car from rolling backward, and then restart the engine. Here are some additional details: Clutch: Stalling occurs because the clutch is not used properly, while rolling backward happens due to incorrect use of the brakes. If the car rolls back after releasing the brake, it means the clutch was not released enough, and the car lacks sufficient power. In this case, releasing the brake will cause the car to roll back. Stalling occurs when the clutch is released too quickly. Throttle: If the throttle is not applied in time, or if the timing of releasing the handbrake is not right, or if the throttle and clutch are not coordinated properly, the car may roll back. Panic braking or lifting the clutch abruptly can also cause the car to stall.
A few days ago, I drove to the mountains for fun. On a steep slope, the car suddenly stalled. In a panic, I slammed on the brakes, but the pedal felt as hard as stepping on a rock. I managed to stop the car, but it still slid slightly, which really gave me a cold sweat. Later, a mechanic friend told me that after the engine stalls, the brake booster fails, and you have to rely solely on foot strength. On steep slopes, it might not be enough to hold the car, and if you can't stop it, it's extremely dangerous. Since then, I've developed the habit of always pulling the handbrake before stopping on a slope and stabilizing the car before restarting it after a stall. Actually, such minor incidents are common when driving. The key is not to panic, act quickly and decisively, and always prioritize safety.
