Here for those who cant read Parking Brake Function 1. Set the parking brake firmly. If vehicle is equipped with an “automatic parking brake release” type, that releases itself when gear selector is placed in a position other than park or neutral, omit paragraph 1 of this subdivision and inspect all other points of the parking brake. Reject if: 1. Parking or holding brake will not hold the vehicle stationary with engine running at a slightly accelerated speed with shift lever in drive position for automatic transmission or shift lever in low gear while engaging the clutch on a standard transmission. ---

It is designed as a parking brake. NOT AN EMERGENCY BRAKE. Every auto manufacturer will tell you that. To me this should not apply on a vehicle with an automatic transmission but I do not write the laws. Yet. ---

LOL now now… that was a terrible bunch of slander on the part of 60 minutes, i’ll debate that all day long. they screwed with those “test cars” and over adjusted the throttle cables and messed up the transmissions to get them to behave like they did on the special. every single incident with “unintentional acceleration” that was confirmed was a female driver, who just purchased the vehicle and came out of a GM vehicle. not unlike the jeep cherokee pedal placement fiasco. ---

Meh, either way the car was in park and no one is going to set the parking brake aside from people in san francisco. IDK i know it has it’s purpose, i just disagree with this law soo much. I think it’s complete bs. ---

I remember when I had the Camaro inspected last Spring (the guy said he wasnt good at driving a standard so I didn’t let him drive it) Anyways, he wanted me to rev it up high with the e-brake and I strongly disagreed with him, put it in first let off on the clutch and everything turned out okay. ---

it took a while but the dmv replied to me > Response (Technical Services) - 12/30/2008 12:36 PM > Dear customer, Parking Brake is required to hold vehicle. Simple check would be to apply parking brake and raise vehicle and check to see both wheels are holding. Another way would be to apply parking brake and put vehicle in gear and if it holds vehicle that would be fine. If it were a standard transmission then the brake should be applied and vehicle put in first gear and while releasing clutch vehicle should hold. there would be no need to apply gas while releasing clutch. Parking brake is only designed to hold a vehicle. Most are not designed to stop a vehicle while it is moving. Mark ---
