Car Tips and Tricks: Applying the hand brake of a car is a process that we often ignore. But, a mistake made in this small process can cause a big accident. Let us know what are the mistakes that we should not make while applying the hand brake:

1. Applying the hand brake in a moving car:

This is the most common and dangerous mistake. Applying the hand brake suddenly in a moving car can cause the car to go out of control and cause an accident. This can also damage the car's tires.

2. Not applying the hand brake while parking the car on a slope:

It is very important to apply the hand brake while parking the car on a slope. If you do not apply the hand brake, the car may roll down.

3. Not fully releasing the hand brake:

It is very important to fully release the hand brake when you start driving. If you do not fully release the hand brake, the car will pull and the engine may be damaged.

4. Keeping the hand brake on for a long time:

Keeping the hand brake applied for a long time can damage the brake pads.

5. Incorrectly applying the hand brake:

The hand brake should be applied slowly and properly. If you apply the hand brake too hard, it can get damaged.

Before parking: Put the gear in neutral, turn off the engine and then apply the handbrake.

Before starting to drive: Release the handbrake completely.

When parking on a slope: Put the gear in reverse and apply the handbrake.

Regular servicing: Get your car serviced regularly so that the handbrake works properly.

Using the handbrake properly can help you avoid accidents and increase the life of your car.
