HELP: Car Rolled with Handbrake Up

[HapticSimian]

Yeah but the ratio is now reversed so it does actually make sense. We had a thread about this...someone got rear-ended while stationary at a robot & gearbox blew a week later or something like that.

...and I said the same there. Correlation ≠ causation.

Real cars have working hand-brakes, this isn't the 1980s, just sayin.

And what has the 1980s got to do with it? Was that a bad decade for handbrakes?

Correlation ≠ causation.

If your determined to make your argument work based on a technicality then pick something solid to attack...like the sample size of 1 for example.

Used to be that every car back then had failing hand-brake.

Toyota, Nissan 1400 bakkie, Mercedes C-class. Few of the cars from that time I'd driven in that had failed hand-brakes (back in 90s)

In my mind I associate bad hand-brakes with that era

Probably more to do with you being younger with less money to spend on decent cars, and on repairs to those cars

By the way, there was no C-class merc in the 80s.

I didn't drive back then, was parents or friends parents cars

Yeah sorry it was the E class, that big steel thing.
