Is it okay to drive a few meters with the handbrake on?

[ErinLynn]

Driving a few meters with the handbrake on has minimal impact, at most causing slight wear to the rear brake pads. The following is an introduction to the handbrake: Introduction 1: The professional term for the handbrake is auxiliary brake. Unlike the principle of the main brake, it uses a steel cable connected to the rear brake shoes to apply braking force to the vehicle. Introduction 2: Long-term use of the handbrake can cause plastic deformation of the steel cable. Since this deformation is irreversible, prolonged use will reduce its effectiveness and increase the handbrake's travel distance. Introduction 3: The handbrake is also equipped with a return spring. When the handbrake is engaged, the spring is stretched, and when released, the spring returns to its original length. Long-term use of the handbrake can also cause corresponding deformation in the spring.
