1 Answers
Driving brake, commonly referred to as the brake, is used to slow down or stop the vehicle while in motion. Parking brake, on the other hand, is the brake used when the vehicle is stationary, also known as the handbrake. Below is an introduction to driving brake and parking brake: 1. Different functions: The main function of the parking brake is to prevent the vehicle from sliding forward or backward, while the driving brake is primarily used for deceleration and stopping; the brake used during driving is called the driving brake. 2. Different principles: When starting on a slope, the parking brake requires the driver to manually release the handbrake or skillfully coordinate the throttle and clutch for a smooth start. Due to the presence of the transmission, the driving brake requires corresponding adjustments based on different gear ratios; the higher the gear, the smaller the gear ratio. 3. Different braking effects: The parking brake only has a braking effect on the two rear wheels, whereas the driving brake is used while the vehicle is in motion and is a hydraulic brake, providing braking effect on all four wheels.
