    Here it’s know as a e brake, and for me at some point forn a few days was my main brake after my brake pedal broke but I still needed to get to work.

    Was fun learning how to use it on how to stop on a highway.

      Yeah you use it when you park, but it’s still called an e-brake or emergency brake around here.

      Oh I know that’s what we call it, we all call it that it seems, but it’s a parking brake. For parking.

      Very bad to use in an emergency situation.

      Just seemed to be a good technicality to point out in a thread about someone getting a manual transmission car and asking newbie advice.
