There is an impact if the handbrake is not released for 200 meters. The following is an introduction to the relevant content: Impact: Accelerated wear of the brake discs and hardening of the brake pads due to overheating, as well as elongation of the handbrake cable. This can lead to reduced braking performance, and sometimes the burnt smell noticed by the driver comes from this. In severe cases, smoke may appear from the rear of the vehicle. Damage: Driving with the handbrake engaged causes greater wear on the braking components the faster the speed, and it also causes some damage to the tires. If the handbrake is left engaged for too long, it can cause the rear wheels to lock up, leading to smoke from friction and a significant loss of braking performance. If driving with the handbrake engaged for an extended period, it may also cause the brake caliper to seize, brake fluid leakage, and excessively high brake fluid temperature, resulting in a complete loss of braking function. If a strong burnt smell and smoke from the rear of the vehicle occur while driving, the driver should immediately slow down, brake, and release the handbrake.
