What are the hazards of driving without releasing the handbrake?

[LaAllison]

Here is an introduction to the hazards of driving without releasing the handbrake: 1. Occasionally driving without releasing the handbrake: The impact of forgetting to release the handbrake while driving can range from minor to severe, such as causing a decline in braking performance and reducing the lifespan of the brake discs and brake pads. 2. Making it a habit to drive without releasing the handbrake: This may lead to the brake calipers seizing, brake fluid leakage, excessively high brake fluid temperature, resulting in a complete loss of braking function and premature failure of braking components. Additional information: Below is an introduction to the three types of handbrake systems in cars: 1. Mechanical handbrake: Primarily composed of a handbrake lever, cable, braking mechanism, and return spring, it operates on a simple lever principle. When the driver pulls the handbrake lever to a fixed position, a steel wire cable controls the rear wheel braking mechanism to lock the brake disc, thereby applying the brake. 2. Mechanical foot brake: Similar in principle to the handbrake, it also uses a lever mechanism to control the cable. After pulling the cable to a fixed position, a ratchet locks the braking structure, thereby stopping the vehicle. 3. Electronic handbrake: Nowadays, the most commonly used electronic handbrake is the caliper-integrated type. The caliper-integrated braking system replaces traditional parking brake levers, mechanical levers, and cables with electronic buttons, motor components, and electronic elements. The motor components are integrated into the left and rear brake calipers, and the electronic control unit and motor components are directly connected via electrical wiring.
