This parking brake saved me from a tow. I had the LCI model E70 2012 xDrive35i and I engaged the brake when parked on residential street and it was sweep day and they decided to attempt a tow. I caught this on my dash cam lol 😂

Fun to know...i guess that's why here in Chicago I always see less bmws towed and more with boots on them.

Yes, me too - I am reading through the 2022 Honda HR-V Manual - trying to find out if this 'Parking Brake Lever Pull' is also an Emergency Brake'. Still scared to try it, but might go 5 mph and pull it.

I've had two uncommanded parking brake applications, fully locked, rear wheels only in a Mazda 6. Both were at about 25 mph. Dealers can't duplicate the issue and can't repair. I'm a little concerned this will happen in a higher speed curve, like an off ramp. That won't be fun. I would be in favor of a mechanical E-brake requirement on all cars.
