Can You Continue Driving After Smelling Burning Due to Forgetting to Release the Handbrake?
1 Answers
You cannot continue driving after smelling burning due to forgetting to release the handbrake. Relevant information about the handbrake is as follows: 1. Introduction: The professional term for the handbrake is auxiliary brake. Unlike the principle of the main brake, it uses a steel wire cable connected to the rear brake shoes to brake the vehicle. Long-term use of the handbrake can cause the steel wire to undergo plastic deformation. Since this deformation is irreversible, prolonged use will reduce its effectiveness, and the handbrake's travel distance will increase. 2. Complementary Use: The handbrake is used in conjunction with a return spring. When the handbrake is engaged, the spring is stretched; when the handbrake is released, the spring returns to its original length. Long-term use of the handbrake can also cause corresponding deformation in the spring.
