Is the Parking Brake the Handbrake?

[ONoah]

The parking brake is the handbrake. Here is some relevant information about the parking brake: 1. The parking brake is the handbrake, a device that works in conjunction with the foot brake. Only by pulling up the parking brake can the car come to a complete stop. The parking brake (handbrake) provides 100% braking force to the rear wheels, ensuring the car stops completely and prevents it from rolling backward. 2. The parking brake, commonly referred to as the handbrake, functions by providing resistance to the car when parked, preventing it from rolling. The parking brake is either the handbrake or the parking gear in an automatic transmission, which locks the drive shaft or rear wheels. 3. The parking brake exerts much less force than the service brake, just enough to prevent the car from rolling on a slope. It can be used when parking on an incline or while waiting at a traffic light.
