Ok,so,more importantly how the fuck did the driver survive that in some thing that makes a Smart car look like it's a full size car? 2 mph?

wasnt going very fast. like, i could run faster than that. also, he was in a box
Basically what it is.
Also,I see lwas mistaken about the idea that they couldn't possibly come up with something dumber than a Smart car that someone would drive.

I'm very careful when I see one of those. In Belgium, it doesn't require a driving license to ride, so it's the choice of alcoholic drivers.

You can get busted for walking while drunk. "Public intoxication".

I'm amazed the car don't have its handbrake in! I mean not fun come back and you car rolled away. Or some 14 year old kids rolled it away
Spacebandit
My park brakes are operated by my left foot. Not by my hand. I always use it. My old car I adjusted the cable linkage.
ICantFixThis
A friend of mine didn't put his handbrake on in my driveway and his car rolled down into my neighbors yard into a tree. lmao.
Deadmanwalkn
Did he just set it and jump out of the car? Short of some fair external force, how does one let their car just roll away
I have no idea. we didn't know he was even here because we were in the pool. he went inside looking for us and my neighbor came over.
UnknownSquid
The idiot that hit it is lucky it wasn't too. Even a tiny bit more resistance makes a surprisingly big difference to a collision.
tomatoboy
Some cars also have weak parking brakes due to neglect. When I first got it, my old 2002 Taurus used to roll downhill on steep slopes...
...despite the fully applied parking brake. Needed adjustment. That said...this is probably a manual left in gear.
Ulthirm
My friends manual didn't have a parking brake. I don't know why he didn't check before buying it.
Like...never had one, or was missing due to removal?
Was missing.
Nikolai5
I use my handbrake just enough for it to hold. If anything pushed it with any force it would still move.
mattsall
Why doesn't use a handbrake? Crazy...
ecchanQueen
In some places people just leave the car in gear. Unless it's on a steep incline it'll be hard to move the car but possible in an emergency.
misanthropotatopotato
I don't use it in the winter anymore, one time i broke my handbreak because the temperature dropped to -10 (Celsius) one night and it froze
stupid me drove anyway
MeepMeepMaMeepMeepBeep
If you don't use it regularly it can do that, or maybe just rusted in a bad spot. It does get weird at low Temps but just be gentle
ItsNotASchoonerItsASailboat
Here in America we only use the handbrake if it's a stick. If you drive an automatic you just put it in park
theBEARDEDarchaeologist
Here in America I use the parking brake every time with my automatic, because I park on hills and like my transmission.
CidEquinox
I call bullshit since I always use my E-brake to park. You don’t but I sure as hell do.
photosforbikeforum
Not a good idea though.
RigoryMorty
If it's a stick shift just leave it in a low gear.
Z0op
It can still roll in a low gear. Automatic or stick, doesnt matter, use handbrake to avoid putting strain on the transmission
valen00
Suggestion for those now thinking about using it on a hill. Put the brake on, leave the car in neutral untill the brake catches the car then
Put it in park
https://blog.firestonecompleteautocare.com/brakes/when-to-use-parking-brake/
Here in America i use the hand break and so did my friends on our automatics.
80percentlegs
American with an automatic here. I always use the handbrake when parked. Lots of hills growing up, just a habit I developed.
kog29023
Here in America we are too lazy to use a handbrake (I always use mine).
Pinaplewapi
Yea most automatic cars have electric handbrakes now which baffles me
Alighierian
Baffles you as in: how lazy we've become, or as in how far we've come?
Why am I getting downvoted for staying my opinion like wtf it's not like I'm being heretic or anything jeez
mineovermatter
*some* have electric. By far most are cable.
nero4ty2
why?
Why does it baffle you? They make sense. No cable to adjust, and easy to apply. Imagine how hard it was for grandma to apply the old ones.
It's like how they explain it on top gear, you reach for the handle but it's not there. Also the button is in an awkward place
Yeah, but that’s the same argument against parking brake PEDALS instead of handbrakes. I’ve had cars with pedals, handbrakes, and e-brakes..
Also how do you use the e brake to park on a hill if it's electric
Not if you were taught properly. Parking brake always goes on in an auto. Protects the car from rolling, and keeps strain off the parking...
...pawl in the transmission, which both protects the transmission, but also avoids some cars getting stuck in park on hills.
SenOfFiveTails
Seriously. The parking pawl may be pretty strong but it's ultimately still just a hook of metal. Can be snapped off by a sudden shock.
TBenz4Sportsball
Here in America I use the handbrake on my automatic transmission car...
snoogans671
same here. partly out of habit and partly because 'juuust incase, lets have it on.'
pogidaga
same. the hand brake is right there. it's an easy habit to get into.
harpoonyourboyfriend
Same. First two cars were stick shifts, so now its just a habit I've never broken
ThatsMySecretCapImAlwaysHorny
I thought it was called the emergency brake over there. I had a Dodge, and it would flash the warning light like it was panicking when on
I mean you can, but there's really no need
The parking pawl is pretty pathetic..one good thump, or rust and your car rolls away
DynamicWeight
I don't like the car to rest the vehicle's weight on the parking pawl in the transmission. Much better to use the brakes to hold it in place
Doesn't matter if you don't live in a hilly area
Most places aren't 100% level. Also, like in the video, sometimes you get rear ended.
rs510
....that is sadly why that guy from Star Trek got run over by his own SUV. Use the handbrake.
asmallcat
Well, he specifically didn't have the car in park because the UI of the auto in the jeep was so bad.
expthedoktor
He left it in neutral though. Sad loss he didn't deserve it, but it was kinda Fiat/Chrysler's fault for that GOD awful shifter selector!
savvern
How is it the makers fault for him leaving the car still running without the handbrake on?
The Jeep he had, was massively recalled for no tactile "park" causing accidents. Yes he should have been careful...
Truesoldier00
No one ever uses the cars handbrake in an automatic in NA. The shift nob in his vehicle was TERRIBLY DESIGNED. I have one, and I’m 1/2
Oxycodont
"wictor wictor"
No, automatics have a parking pawl that engages when you put the car in park. Handbrake is only needed in a manual.
yamapickle
Until the prawl breaks, then you need the brake engaged. If the prawl breaks and the car rolls into someone, it may be considered your fault
Better chance of getting struck by lightning
FurryKedrian98
You get how tiny it it, right? Its literally a little angled piece of metal that fits in between two teeth of your final gear. Repeated ->
Stress, say from parking on an incline, park, and let off the brake so the car rolls a bit then jerks will quickly break it. Use the e brake
Contundo
No the electric handbrake in that model is poorly designed, no way to tell if it's on
Nathanfake
who the hell doesn't use their handbrakes with a manual?!
KillerTofu615
I don't if I'm in my parking space. But only because the asphalt has sunk so I just get it in the sunk spots and it saves the cable.
yenchin's jeep was an auto, he thought it was in park
Xedi22
I usually leave it in a mid gear...but that’s because of a couple hand break slips over the years. Both if on a real incline, HB first.
nipsandtips24
This is wrong. There's no need to set the emergency brake in an automatic.
that is not true. If you are on any kind of incline you have the entire weight of the vehicle on your transmission.
What's your point? What do you think happens every time you take off from a stop? There is always going to be pressure on the trans
HsuDoNihm
Brake is for braking. Transmission is not for braking. Misusing your tools is the fastest way to break 'em.
If the jackass in that video hit my car, I'd want my brake to take the strain, not my transmission. Always set the parking brake.
We're not talking about braking we're talking about putting a car in park.
