Will the car move after releasing the brake pedal?

After releasing the brake pedal, the car generally will not move. Below is an introduction to the braking system: Introduction: Braking, also known as deceleration, refers to the action of stopping or reducing the speed of moving locomotives, vehicles, other transportation tools, or machinery. Techniques: Many braking actions are emergency stops that are unavoidable. In such cases, it is essential to pay attention to braking techniques. Vehicles without ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), which is common in older models, may experience wheel lock-up if the braking force is too strong during emergency stops. Therefore, when braking in older vehicles, it is advisable to use intermittent braking (pump braking) as much as possible.
As someone who has driven for over a decade, I can confirm that when you release the brake after pressing it, the car will definitely move. This is especially true for automatic transmission cars in D gear—when you release the brake while the engine is still running, the car will slowly creep forward, a phenomenon known as "creep." For manual transmission cars, if they are in first gear or reverse, releasing the brake will also cause movement, but not if they are in neutral. On flat roads, this isn’t a big deal—the car just moves forward slowly. However, if you release the brake while parked on a slope, the car is likely to roll backward or slide forward, which can easily lead to an accident. I recommend developing good habits every time you park, such as engaging the handbrake, shifting to P gear, or pressing the clutch—don’t cut corners for convenience. A car is a dynamic machine that responds to your actions at all times, so safe driving is paramount.
