"since the handbrake engages as soon as the engine is off."

I'm curious. If the handbrake engages as soon as the engine is turned off, how in hell do you move the damn thing if you can't start the engine? As in pushing to a safe place etc. Or simply just manouvreing around a yard.

Do car manufacturers actually think this stuff through?

Ditto for all these automatic e-brakes or whatever. In an emergency, how does one go about bring the car to a halt safely without a manual handbrake?

Not to mention, how on earth is one supposed to do handbrake turns without a manual handbrake?

The mind boggles.

Mine's the one with the Drifting for Dummies in the pocket.
