Does Not Releasing the Handbrake Affect the Car?

[DanielaLynn]

Not releasing the handbrake does affect the car. The vehicle's power performance cannot be fully utilized at this time, and it can easily cause damage to the car's tires, brake pads, and brake discs. The functions of the handbrake are: 1. Pulling up the handbrake when parking keeps the vehicle stationary and prevents it from rolling downhill; 2. When driving, pulling up the handbrake during a turn can create a drifting effect; 3. In emergency situations, the handbrake can be used as a brake. The consequences of driving without releasing the handbrake are: 1. Accelerated wear of the brake discs and hardening of the brake pads due to overheating, leading to reduced braking performance; 2. Excessive wear of the handbrake's brake pads, causing damage to the transmission shaft; 3. Locking of the rear wheels and snapping of the brake cable, which may result in skidding or rollover.
