I read DR Duece's message about stoping when the brake system has
failed. I agree that the brakes should be tested before leaving. My
question is - If the hand brake is applied as quickly as Dr Duece
suggests, isn't there a possibility og shearing a propeller shaft or
breaking the main U joint at the hand brake itself? I don't know if
this could happen but in seems logical especially in larger vehicles.
Maybe a better suggestion would be to turn the engine off and
downshift? Let me know.
