Effects of driving without the handbrake engaged: 1. Driving for a long time with the handbrake engaged may cause the brake caliper to seize, brake fluid leakage, and excessively high brake fluid temperature, leading to complete loss of braking function; 2. Driving with the handbrake engaged causes greater wear on the braking components the faster the speed, and also causes some damage to the tires. After discovering that you have been driving without the handbrake engaged for a long time, you should not continue driving. Instead, pull over to the side of the road, wait for the car to cool down, and carefully check for any other abnormalities. Drivers should develop correct driving habits, check whether the handbrake is released before driving, and also pay attention to the information on the dashboard and warning lights.
