So the Corvette has a parking brake that's operated by a little switch on the center console. I've always wondered what would happen if you pulled it while driving, so we turned on some cameras and found out! DO IT FOR DALE! - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
Next video, what happens if you go into reverse when driving at 60+.
Jake Iapichino just lock the wheels and probably do damage to something
blown universal joint
It would lock you out of reverse
My 2015 ram has the dial shifter and I accidentally did that. It went into neutral and the backup camera went on.
MrBlurberries that's like my worst fear
*going 70mph down freeway* "how do you roll up the window, oh here it is" "NO!!!!!!!!"
Andrew A lmfao😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Andrew A legend
haha thought about that too. However, thats why it progressively applies not "bam" because technically its still used for emergency stopping if your standard brakes go out but certainly not quickly.
That happened to me recently. Gf has a 2011 Regal with the elec park brake in the center console. Her old car (2000 Sunfire) has the window switches in the center console. Me driving the Regal one day with her decides to roll up her window, and without thinking applies the park brake at around 45mph. Rear of the car squats down and the car slows down QUICKLY. Then she hits me and says "what the f**k are you..... oh shit I'm sorry babe!! Scared the shit out of both of us. Yep it works at speed.
Hah!
Look at this adolescent giraffe, not sure why TH-cam recommended this to me in 2021 but I’m glad it did 😂
Love it! April 9th 2021!
Y’all here too haha
Same haha
Fax
I’m here as well in 2021. Thanks TH-cam. 🤣
3:05 for people who don't want to wait one hundred and eighty five seconds to get on to the entire point of the bloody video.
TamiyaGuy thx for making me not wasting time waiting for it
TamiyaGuy thank you so much
Absolute legend thanks.
Also - in a VW the button will engage really hard braking when held. Hard, but seems only back wheels. Good for 180s and drifts ;)
TamiyaGu
He gets a warning saying " Parking brake engaged, service requires" and he decides to do it again. I love this guy
This video proves that if you use brakes, the car eventually stops.
lol hahahaha
MrGilRoland disappointed,I thought the car would fly (
Very educating video...I was always wondering what would happen if u use breaks while driving :D...I thaught pros use them to gain speed
BamBuJay wild? I don't get what you're trying to say.
BamBuJay ok bro,I get excited too when I see an Armenian :)
Thank you for going out of your way experimenting on your very nice new car for us. Hope it hasn't incurred any permanent damage.
I prefer mechanical parking brakes over electronic
the more electronic a car gets the more crap it becomes
Who doesn't
Electric e-brakes suck! Good luck doing a bootleg turn with one.
Just look at him, folks! Wind him up and watch him go!
The more clutches you have, the more it hurts when they take them from you. -Thatcher
Companies aren't allowed to call it an "emergency brake" because of lawsuits so they have to call it parking brake, I call it my drift brake
bballkid7409 aren't they called hand brake?
Don King no most manufacturers like German cars for example don't work like this crappy American one, they are used only for parking and can't be engaged during driving, One either you put your gear in park you then pull it up to put the car into a fully parked state, they have something called auto hold which can hold the brakes for you so you don't have too aswell you just push it with your foot on the brake and then put your foot on the break and push the button to release, this is for use on hills or traffic etc
Chatta290
not true .. my audi a6 c6 uses this as an emergency brake also .. if i pull it whilst driving it engages to slow the car down with a beeping noise also . if i let it go it disengages .. it works really well for emergency situations if necessary ..
So, if your brakes fail in a German car, you're just f'ked? That sucks!
No . It can be used as an emergency brake ...
Manual hand brakes work fine. Why companies feel the need to change items on a car that work fine as is. I feel safer in a car with a normal handbrake then this ableism-fueled nonsense of a switch.
Le Enderman maybe so it won't mess up the design by having a big shaft sticking out lmao who knows
Le Enderman they do it to get money for whenever it brakes the owner has to pay money to fix it
Le Enderman those electronic brakes are just as safe as any standard braking system. this technology was refined for decades before it was deemed more than safe for mass public use. as a vw technician i have personally other than brake pads have never had to service or replace an electric parking brake system. you could have rusted cables that will snap. there could be a kink in the cable that won't allow you to fully use your brake on that side. I'm not saying it can't break. I've just never personally come across a broken system.
i also forgot to mention that usually the caliper has all of the braking stuff inside. meaning there's no cable or fluid. only way to make it not work is to unplug it.
+Ryan Bishop on the contrary, we have had a number of broken electronic parking brakes in my shop. Most memorable one was a Ford Fusion that had only locked up one wheel and the lady who owned it kept driving it for 30-40 miles before bringing it in. Pads were fucked and so was the tire
My grandmother has a Buick and she pushed the parking break button (by accident because she thought it was the window) while I was driving on the highway. It jolted the car but then disengage almost right away. Just a sharp, terrifying jolt.
So it allowed u to keep driving afterwards? How much speed do it slow u down to
@@vjosa8041 I don't remember to well to be honest as it happened around 2016 or so. It automatically disengaged almost immediately as I was panicking about why the wheels all locked for a split second. It was kinda like when your adaptive cruise accidentally detects a pothole as a wall. Same feeling.
Do this at 100 miles an hour and the video will go viral
.
PrankFiles
150mph and he'll have Taylor Swift views!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nothing would happen.. it will gradually slow you down to stop in 15seconds
PrankFiles
Wow that was interesting! five minutes to tell us that putting the electronic brake on while moving, works! I am off to watch some paint dry.
Alistair Kendall no one made you watch this so cry me a river.
I hate electronic handbrakes, its complicated and a mechanical handbrake does the job way better.
It's also alot more satisfying
and it ruins the drift
The good thing is, at least Elder people That drive, new cars, are safer for them, us, we can use hard ass brakes
animalcopWOT you are so right
animalcopWOT do you like world of tanks? I do.
Who has this in their recommended 4 years later 😂
dude i thought i was the only one lmfao
From memory, if you pull it while moving at higher speeds it uses the abs module to lift the line pressure and provide a certain amount of deceleration (about 0.2g), it then winds in the electronic park brakes below a certain speed.
Very random, but had to try it! BTW, new Do It For Dale shirts are almost done :)
Cleetus McFarland it most likely told you to service the parking brake because it recognized that the brake came on while the car was moving... Probably doesn't need serviced. . But it will if you keep rippin' on it...DIFD!
Craig Cundiff some of these systems work with your stability control/ABS system and applies the full normal braking system when applied at speed. The actual parking brake only works when the car is stopped or as a last resort if the car doesn't slow down with the ABS system. That's how it's stopping gradually without locking up the wheels. You can do that all day without hurting anything.
Nicholas Rodrigues hopefully.
Cleetus McFarland when will you make a video on the turbocharged ram1500. Cant wait.
Cleetus McFarland fuk the police they not going to kill u you have the complexion for protection
Parking brake button, engine start button whats next oil change button? With new unused oil in a separate reservoir? ( by the way if your gonna steal that idea i want 20%)
M.L I also want 5% for liking the comment!
M.L that does exist just not used in cars in factory machines it was invented in the 1890s or in the early 1900s when factory's became popular
Probably accelerator button.
Actually, some dumbass has invented a car where the "oil change" is done by replacing a cartridge, like replacing the toner cartridge on your printer. Of course, the cartridge is proprietary, and they could charge you up the wazoo...
M.
wow, This was the first video I watched of your about 7 yrs ago. I remember seeing it for a few weeks on TH-cam and I was like ok, lets see why everyone likes this video.
I would expect it to stop while going. You need a backup in case you lose your regular brakes. Although I prefer a mechanical brake myself. The electric brake uses a motor to close the brake shoes, so you can lose all of your brake fluid and it would still work. With a mechanical e-brake, it uses a cable to pull the brake shoes closed, like on a bicycle, so it too still works if you lose fluid or master cylinder, but it does not rely on electronics to work either so it is more dependable.
The main reason for hand brakes on manual transmission cars is for when you are stopped on a hill you can use it to get going again without rolling backwards or burning out the clutch.
Thanks for that info. When he said it was not to be used as an emergency brake, I wondered "what the hell can you use as emergency brake, then?"
best sounding Corvette on TH-cam by far!
I've always wondered the same thing but never had the balls to do it haha awesome video brotha!
Car makers: let's make an electric ebrake.
Car: battery dies and car rolls down hill
Car makers: Nothing we coulda done
@@aosorea ok dad
JackedJay does your phone warns you when the battery goes low?
Andrei Sorea buddy try driving without an alternator
JackedJay well the electronic part is
Just to engage the brake. The brake itself is not held electronically
It’s still a mechanical brake
U could just put that car in gear then it won’t go anywhere
This could be a 30 second video.
most dudes I've ever met named Cleetus drove a long bed Ford or Chevy with a tore up skoal bandit sticker in the back window poppin some cherry bomb glass packs and a 9 foot cb antenna swingin around.
stop talking about my friend cleetus like that, he is an edumucated fellow
At least this cleetus is doing well for himself.
But no one here knows for sure if this Cleetus sleeps with his sister or not.
@@RKSNomad you missed the point of the comment
@@tunerimpala5658 probably should turn that comment back onto you... reread the comment.
* It slows down gradually * there, saved you some time
Ivan Dobrichkov thanks
With most of these electronic brakes (a lot of 2010-2012 cars had them), you can pull away with the brake on and it'll automatically disengage - which is really useful for hill starts
I damaged my clutch by doing this in my Audi 2.0tdi. I do not recommend this if you don't really really really need it.
Why 2010-2012? There are no (or less) electric parking brakes after 2012?
really useless you mean. it automatically disengages, yes, and if you are on loose surface and the wheels spin, the car goes backwards/hits other cars/rails or whatever.
"I probably worn my braking pads" ... "ok, let's do it one more time"
😂
You have an electronic rear caliper. It engages the normal braking pads electronically via an electric piston that is threaded in. So when you press that magical button, the piston has to travel which is why the brake gets progressively stronger, and it's also electric, meaning you cant use it for drifts, as that piston always travels the same speed and only gets progressively closer to the pad, which sucks for drifting.
But what about fwd burnouts?
That moment when you go to pull the emergency brake, but then you realized that it's a button.
Should have tried drifting with it.
Yeah it probably won’t allow you😑😒
@@EbilEnemyofBurgerTown It doesn't...It'll just slow the spinning like regular braking. Just have to drop it in low gear and kick the clutch to do any kinda drifting in these cars 🤦🏽♂️
Long story short: the car stops
You sound like a Cletus. I don't know if that makes an sense.
Miguel Hernandez I feel like cletus should always be said in a thick southern accent
Hi I'm drunk
SAME!
Miguel Reyes Hi Drunk
I swear to drunk im not god
high im not drunk im hi
I'm not as think as you drunk I am
No stupid, electronic parking brakes are designed to slow the car down rapidly in case the main brakes don't work, or your foot gets caught or something. You just pull up and hold it like you would a normal e-brake, and let go when you want to stop braking..
Austin Murphy Going 100 kph down freeway and says "how does the window go down?" And pushes parking brake button. The frame freezes "it was at this moment that dale knew, he f***ed up"
It just feels like you're pressing the brake moderately hard, when you pull it uo. My car has a brake button
You are totally correct !!!! I don't think car makers are dumb lol there has to be an emergency brake. This option is way better than a hand brake. With this the full abs brakes come on ! and the car remains in a straight line !

WHAT? A COPY OF ME?
I used to detail cars and I've always wondered what would happen, didn't want to try in a customer's car though LOL.
Thanks for posting this. I can add that if you're driving down the road with your car on fire and the computer electronics go, your only option to get the car stopped is to throw it in Park, which thankfully brought us to an abrupt halt.
Thanks for this! I've been wondering in my escape what happens but didn't want to tear anything up. Lol.
I really perfer the analog stick. some times I use mine on really steep climbs an shit
twisted1 why?
c woody so u don't roll back
your weapon is guilt. Uhhhh, that's why you put it in gear.
ye but its hard to keep it steady
i think he means starting up on an incline from a stop... use the e brake to help from rolling back. its useful on really steep inclines. for parking, i always leave it in gear... better than just the e brake alone which can fail or freeze if ur in the north where we have real winters, or it can loosen up and the car can roll back
Let me guess, absolutely nothing happens
EDIT: I was wrong
i throw rocks at blind kids badass name
i was thinking the same thing
I thought this, i tried it at 80mph on a motorway in my new car.....a little bit of poo came out!
This did its job how it’s supposed to. It’s not meant to break right away since that locks the wheels and can creat accidents. For this reason the computer is set to break as fast as possible while taking into account the car info and conditions.
"I've worn my parking brakes?" They are just brakes. There is no separate "parking brake". The reason you can enable the parking brake like this is for emergencies should the foot pedal fail. Also, I love that you have to explain why there is a parking brake on a manual. Every single person the UK just laughed, all at the same time, whilst drinking a cup of tea :)
Manual cars need a HAND-BRAKE! Dammit GM, you let me down. This is actually upsetting to me.
And the worst part about it is that there really isn't any good reason for it. Hell, all that electronic BS probably adds to manufacturing costs. They could probably make the e-brake hydraulic for all that cost.
Well they don't "need" it often but its good to have in hilly areas.
Yeah I leave my car in first most of the time.. And in hilly areas I will engage the parking brake.
Honestly, I feel like it adds weight and cost. If it was a styling thing I'm pretty sure they could just have nice stitching on the hand brake, there are really nice looking hand breaks
not only weight and cost, but more unnecessary components to add to your repair list in the future.
nice corvette,it always helps having an extra brake in an emergency case if the pedal brake don't work
Jake Smith using the handbrake in emergency case it's make the things worse,who's the dumbest?shame on u
this is exactly the same as a hand brake except it is electronically applied. Pretty much the dumbest unnecessary thing ever installed in modern vehicles.
No its not if it was like a hand brake then when it was activated the brakes would lock up. It just activated the normal brakes at a slow rate.
Xcaliber Trekker it's not hydraulic. it's an electric motor pulling on the cable which would normally be operated by the hand brake.
There are no cables in an electromechanical parking brake. www.automotive-technology.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/022613_1710_Electricpar31.jpg
BEST INTRO IM DYING LMAO
In many cars (if not all), Parking Brake IS Emergency Brake. They are never designed to be use other than those two reason. P-Brake (or E-Brake) use the SAME pads as your primary brake. When the primary circuit (electronic, mechanical, hydraulic, etc) fails, the P-Brake or E-Brake may be used (hence: Emergency Brake).
And THAT'S why we can't have nice things 🙈
thanks for havin bigger nuts than me man. been wantin to try this for a couple years now, but fuck man, almost 80 g's that car! I can barely afford gas, let alone for somethin to break, and the fuckin car tells on me at the dealer, then they fuck me off on a warranty claim for "improper use of a parking brake assembly". ur car will snitch you out bro, be carefull, and thanks again. mystery solved
J Rod LOL!
Electric "park" brakes are designed to be used as an emergency secondary brake but the module controlling it won`t let if fully apply till the vehicle gets below a certain road speed , it`s designed to slow the car initially during main foot brake failure till it`s slow enough to safely fully apply that`s why it came on harder from the lower speed at the first try .
Cleetus, how did you get the fuel pressure to display on your LCD display?
They should have an option that after 20 miles an hour it should give you a couple seconds to disengaged. This is best when you have a passenger who just can't keep their hands off things. Also I mean an option as this can be switched on or off.
Josue rodriguez better just to not have those types of passengers...
adam25000 Jeep stuff lol but its really difficult to stop at a stop sign and have this sweet amazing looking woman who could potentially do that and you say no? haha not a snow balls chance in hell you would say no.

Man I love your vette! Great video haha who doesn't want to know what happens when you do something you probably shouldn't with expensive things.
i wouldn't buy a sports car that didn't have a proper handbrake.
Mike Seeds i wouldnt buy any car with e brake
what is a proper hand brake to you? and why is it so important?
I like my cars simple and old fashioned. My next car will have no ABS, traction control, stability control or airbags. Less things to break, also those Electric handbrakes are digital not analogue, they are either 1 or 0, whereas a hydraulic handbrake can be a whole range of values. I.e you have more control and can do handbrake turns. :) old cars are light and nimble and look far better than anything made today.
how is he a moron? because you can't drive and need all these crutches to help you stay on the road? some people actually know how to drive and don't need abs or stability control. as for the airbags part i think those should be in there for safety reasons.
Well you're not going to get any production car without ABS and some form of stability control because it's federally mandated. As far as a handbrake, there's absolutely no need for one on a decent sports car. The C7 is well balanced to the point that you can flick it, trail brake or pump the gas and the tail end will come out nicely if you want to slide around. The parking brake doesn't need to do anything but hold the car in place when it's parked...and an electronic one will do just that for less money and weight than mechanical linkage.
As far as a hydraulic handbrake Mike was talking about, those are generally an aftermarket add-on. A vast majority of production handbrakes are just levers and cables acting on the brakes...no hydraulic pressure used. There's actually a better chance of an electronic brake being hydraulic as the system could theoretically use the car's independent ABS system to only brake the rear wheels.
As for the "moron" comment...I would guess that's about the "old cars are light and nimble" as modern production cars are generally much lighter than their predecessors with more advanced suspension setups making them an order of magnitude more nimble. I don't know what "none of your business" was trying to get at, but I'm more than comfortable saying Mike is absolutely dead wrong about older cars being more nimble than what we've got today.
I did that by accident on a Jeep rental vehicle. Going about 15-20 and the Jeep stopped on a dime. Took me a minute to figure out how to disengage the parking brake. The guy behind me wasn't happy.
thomabb yeah they shouldn't work like this but it's just crappy American tech after all from the makers who couldn't make a proper gear selector resulting in people being killed, with German cars it's used only for when your gear is in park and your stopped otherwise it won't work, it's meant to be called a parking brake for a reason but these American companies falsely brand it something it isn't
Why would you NOT want a redundant backup breaking system in the event of a total brake failure? If that's the way German cars do it, it seems pretty stupid!
Really, what's the downside to having the brake available when driving? I mean, historically, a cable-actuated e-brake is able to be used ALL the time, so why would you change the status quo just because you can?
SPOILER: Nothing happens.
Thanks

The BIG problem is that you can't drift with it .. what ? FUCK IT !
~ S.m.O it's rwd. Drift with the gas pedal
i hate rwd drifting idk but i see it so hard and the fwd is easy idk how i feel
fwd is total shit for drifting your just locking the rear ties and controlling it with rear you can add and take away power to control and elongate the drift.
~ S.m.O I bet you are a ricer.
As someone that mainly drives FWD cars, I have to agree with the RWD guys. Proper drifting is done with throttle control in a RWD. But at the same time, I think electronic e-brakes are stupid as hell when the user has zero control of it and unable to modulate the intensity of the braking.
I see the "Service Engine Soon" is on.
My sister did this. The switch to pull the parking brake is right next to the switch to work the convertible top. It pretty much was like she slammed on the brakes
SPOILER: The car stops.
It's a safety feature, Cleetus, it has to do so. If your regular breaking system fails -- god forbid -- then you have to use the Electronic Parking Break, exactly as you would with the old tension based break system. It's the same when you have an electronic Automatic gearshift... you can't go into reverse eventhough you can set the car in reverse while driving forward... the computer simply won't allow it.
With all this electronic stuff we put in cars nowadays -- some of it good, some of it NOT -- the attention to safety issues is more on the agenda than ever before. 😇😇
Here in Sweden, where we get a long of snow... dad would pull the mechanical break on the front wheel drive Ford Escort that we had back in the 80s. It was fun! You could really spin around, but you cannot do that with the EPB.
I think its funny how some people that drive manual transmissions think they are high and mighty.
eduardoig17 no they don't, probably in America but in the U.K. Every one who drives a car usually learn in a manual otherwise they can't drive one legally only a automatic
In America guys who drive manual think they are better than everyone else, and say things like "guys who drive automatic are pussies." Here in America you show up to the department of motor vehicles' office near you and take your test. It doesn't matter what kind of car or truck you bring, the only thing that matters is that the vehicle is road legal.
Ivan Garcia no hear in the UK its very hard to pass your test and you can't use your won car also you have to do a theory test and have a certain amount of driving lessons
Chatta290 that is how it should be here in America because here it is almost impossible to fail your driving test, which means that we have a lot of really bad drivers.
Even if you fail the parallel parking part of your test you can still pass the driving test and get your license. Mainly because here it is very rare for us to park parallel
Ivan Garcia yeah in the UK parallel parking is normal and in the cities that is the place you need to park, now they even make you know the different parts under the bonnet and what to do in every situation. that being said din the UK we have 60mph speed limits on small narrow roads and only motorways have a few lanes so usually you get one lane for each direction of traffic so there is more potential till for a crash however this more stingent test should help the accident rates. doesn't matter if you wont do it but you should still be taught
I have always wondered what would happen driving 60 to 75 mph and shove a manual into reverse
HERPY DERPEDY you strip the gears
Val Polichshuk so no collateral damage say loose your transmission down the highway or they try to mesh and it doesn't end well
You can't. Reverse has to be engaged when stopped otherwise it grinds, as it doesn't have synchronizers. Learnt it the hard way :P
Try going that fast in an automatic and putting it in park or reverse.
An auto wont go into park or reverse.
FOR THE RECORD: It`s a "PARKING brake', not an "EMERGENCY brake". It is a relatively tiny device that was only designed to hold the car in place WHILE PARKED, it was never meant to stop the car from any speed.
Usually the EPB uses the regular hydraulic brakes when the seat belt is buckled and driver door closed and slows to a pre-programmed rate. The electronic portion is usually on/off so try it again without your seat belt on.
ok I WATCHED IT NOW GET OUT OF MY RECOMMENDED
doge I hope he shows up in your recommended everyday all day for the rest of your life. That's what you deserve for not doing it for Dale.
The Bald Eagles in the ECM won't allow you to become a drifter/ricer?
I know... too much MURICA I suppose
Tyler Penley I wouldn't apply drifting to ricers because I bet no muscle heads could even do it right and it look good it does take some serious skill
Tyler Penley how are drifter and ricer the same? wouldn't drag racing be ricer shit at that point cause they can only go in a straight line?
Hi
engage the Big red button on a Uhaul that says don't engage while in motion.. doin 30km/h leaves a nice dual mark on road lol.
My renault tells me "vehicle must be stopped" and logicaly does nothing
If main breaks fails...what will stop you? Heandbrake MUST be separately controled... If renault wont stop...well, good luck.... "ebreak" on audi, mercedes, bmw in EU....all of them will stop your car... But, maybe...european ISO is diferent, and only maybe, in other countries car must be stacionary....
I have never been big fan of a e-brake. But it never failed (nor the brakes on the car) for current 8 years.
Btw. EU is european unionon, European ISO standards are applied in EU. I do not know what the state of ISO is for the e-brake, I just stated my experience. And I was not accurate that on it either. If I hit it, the car will tell "vehicle must be stopped", if I hold it for like 3-5 seconds, it will engage and it is quite powerfull in stopping the car (at least more powerfull I would expected).
you would think the car knows not to engage while moving
Colton Smith Well it's a performance vehicle so you might want to do it while moving
+Joseph North yea I'd be tempted too
Colton Smith it's also called an emergency brake so there might be a situation where you need it while moving... edit...I just heard what he said at the end
Did he say "on this channel we do it for dale?" Dale Earnhardt?
Jay Lauren410 yes Dale sr

"apparently I've worn my parking brake pads a little bit" what the fuck???
Clay Moyer what do u mean lol
David K most modern cars with 4 wheel disc brakes just have the hand brake push the caliper and pads against the rotor. so like a manual rear brake. i am aware that others have a separate boot inside the rotor though. but i think corvettes have the first one
Thanks bro I always wondered what it did when driving lol
I had a seizure while driving on the freeway one day. The passenger pulled the E-brake, got my foot off the gas and steered the car through traffic and off to the side of the road. It took awhile to stop but it finally did. My E-brake and transmission worked just fine afterwards and were not damaged. I was going 75 when the passenger hit the E-brake.
I recently did the same thing (out of curiosity). I am worried that I messed something up on my car...Give me some reassurance that I didn't ruin my car lol.
@@Poppyblockhead The innocent didn't seem to damage my car at all. E-brake and everything else worked fine afterwards.
Are you pressing in the clutch as you do that? I'm curious if it stalls or not
Yes I held in the clutch...
I don't think no one would want to waste his engine.
Cleetus McFarland oh ok. I've never driven manual so I have no idea whether the car would save itself from stalling
Omar Rodriguez ok. Everything happens manually.
Waste his engine?
That's interesting to say the least
Yeah... so random but had to try it lol
Everything's worth a shot
I've actually wanted a Corvette since I was like 5, and with the 2016 and 2017 models I want one a million times more...

Vet is a beast
Dale would laugh at this attempt. Dale would have ripped that parking brake switch going 150 mph then floored it around that cop then left him in a cloud of smoke.
You are supposed to be able to pull the button while you're moving if your brakes fail.
That's why they call them "parking brakes" now (also the foot kind on many cars today) instead of "emergency brakes". Back when cars had drum rear brakes they simply mechanically actuated them. Now most vehicles are rear disc, and most parking brakes are these tiny drums with tiny shoes inside. Yes some mechanically actuate the disc, and some cars even have a separate caliper for the parking brake (I saw one on an Aston Martin)
Dale would be proud
your check engine light is on.....
looks more like the tire pressure light.
***** no it was an engine light, orange and shaped like an engine
That's traction control on the top right if that's what your referring to
well sometimes its because of the exhaust, maybe he has a cat delete so the ecu can't find the cat temperature anymore and lights up the engine light. but I'm not sure..
Beast Boì it has an aftermarket tune. Par for the course
If the brake stops you while you are moving when you lose your regular brakes.. Doesn't that qualify as an emergency brake?
Death knell for the casual hand brake turn.
your CRAZY bro!! love it
A parking brake isnt for use while driving? What do you use it for then?
Kenneth Barbee I really hope your joking. if not. its for if you were to park on something steep than you put that up and it will lock up the wheels to keep the car from rolling.
+Chronic yea im joking lol, but on TH-cam you can't tell sometimes if people are joking or not. there's a lot of dull tools in the shed here
Kenneth Barbee The lengthy explanation must mean you weren't joking
That seat looks terrible
The manual handbrake was never an "emergency" brake. It was simply intended to hold the car once it was parked and out of gear.
"I'll wear out my parking brake pads"
There are no separate pads for P brake, it uses the regular ones that are used for braking.
Some cars have seperate pads. A lot of cars has drumbrakes inside the disc for example. The Audi R8 for example, has separate brakecalipers for the parkingbrake.
And the C7 looks like this.. www.corvetteforum.com/how-tos/a/corvette-c6-c7-how-to-replace-parking-brake-shoe-and-electronic-parking-brake-module-368093
So yes, he has a point, but is also wrong, they dont wear out after a couple of highspeed brakings..
Magnus Lagerström oh didn't know that, thanks for the info! Happy New Year mate!
so...then....handbrake turns are not a thing anymore......gay
Thats not the same. Maybe someone wants to use a C7 as a drift car.
no wonder there's a cop! your literally go back and forth on the road turning on electric parking!
What you are doing is you are simply damaging the breaks. It is equivalent of pulling the handbrake whilst driving. The only time you would need to apply the parking break is if your car goes wrong and the breaks fail but for safety you would need to let the car drop speed before engaging. I know it because I was in this situation once, long before cars became smart. The knowledge saved my life.
the brake was done with hydrauluc pump, not with the electric park brake actuators. Electric park brake actuators will be used in case of emergency braking at high speed only if the service brake (hydraulic) is not available. In other words, what you tested there is similar to pushing your brake pedal but it was done by the Brake computer (brake ECU)
