Two words though: Emergency Brake. I mean, that would still work, right?
Unfortunately though, the way they are set up on our cars, he would push it down and it would lock on and probably lock up the brakes, unless he did it lightly, but then it's not doing much. [/b]
In an emergency like that...forget the tranny and throw it into reverse or park and start putting light pressure on the park brake. If one were to slam the park brake to the floor, yeah, you;d lock up. If you only put the brake in by one or two clicks, you'd never really get good stopping power. [/b]
There are some settings between all the way on or almost off. :rolleyes: I've used the e-brake to stop before, to see if I could, though I wasn't doing 55...
