The one thing I remember from High School is a teacher who explained to us that if you ever need to use the parking brake in an emergency to be sure to pull the handle or hold the button in so it doesn't lock. Unless you want to do a bootlegger's turn, then lock 'er up.
So True: 1 hand on wheel, other pulling brake release, left foot pumping emerg pedal. Had to do that few times over the years. It sure beats having to shift into Park.
