Do car brakes generally apply to the front or rear wheels?

[Luca]

Here is an introduction to whether car brakes apply to the front or rear wheels: The handbrake applies to the rear wheels. The foot brake applies to both the front and rear wheels. Car braking systems are divided into service brakes and parking brakes. Service brakes generally apply to all four wheels simultaneously, though the braking force may slightly differ between the front and rear wheels. Additional information: In conventional four-wheel passenger vehicles, the foot brake acts on all four wheels. If the foot brake only applies to the front wheels, it may cause the vehicle to lose directional control, making it difficult to maintain stability during braking. If only the rear wheels are braked, it may cause the rear wheels to lose traction, potentially leading to skidding or fishtailing. The handbrake, professionally referred to as an auxiliary brake, operates differently from the main braking system. It uses a cable connected to the rear brake shoes to apply braking force. Brakes either apply to the rear wheels or to both the front and rear wheels together. If braking is not properly applied to the front wheels, the strong inertial force may cause the rear wheels to lift, posing a risk of rollover.
