What to Do If the Car Still Rolls After Pulling the Handbrake?

[DerekLynn]

Solutions for the car still rolling after pulling the handbrake: Tighten the handbrake cable. If it's a manual transmission, you can press the clutch with your left foot, press the brake with your right foot, engage any forward gear, pull the handbrake, and then turn off the engine, using the traction of the gear to prevent rolling. For an automatic transmission, press the brake, shift to P, pull the handbrake, and turn off the engine, utilizing the automatic transmission's P gear lock to prevent further rolling. If the brakes suddenly fail or cannot hold during normal use, it can be very dangerous, especially on steep slopes where sudden failure poses greater risks. Automatic transmission models are easier to operate; when shifting into a forward gear, holding the brake prevents rolling, and releasing the brake while quickly applying the throttle ensures the power is sufficient to move the vehicle forward.
