Can the steering wheel be turned when the handbrake is engaged?

The steering wheel can be turned when the handbrake is engaged. Handbrake usage precautions: Parking on slopes and engaging the handbrake for extended periods: It is well known that the handbrake must be engaged when parking on a slope. However, if parking for an extended period, avoid leaving the handbrake engaged continuously. Keeping the handbrake engaged on a slope can cause significant damage, as the slope increases the braking force required, accelerating wear. The correct approach is to first secure the vehicle with the handbrake, then place bricks or other objects under the tires before releasing the handbrake. Re-engage the handbrake to distribute the load between the wheels and the handbrake. Alternatively, you can leave the car in first gear or reverse. Steering wheel handling techniques: Place both hands firmly on the left and right edges of the steering wheel. Grip naturally with your fingers curled inward and thumbs extended along the wheel's edge, avoiding bending them inward. This grip positions the right hand closer to other controls for easier operation. Additionally, when the right hand operates other controls, the left hand can still effectively steer.
