As some one who has had two major incidents where my brakes did fail, I
can
relate. I obsessively look for the emergency brake in each vehicle I
drive.

You'd like my Ranger. To apply the E-brake, you have to stick your left
knee in your ear to get your foot high enough.



I resemble that! Got in it one time after my wife had driven it and the
damn
e-brake was on. Took a while to figure what was wrong as it never occurred
to me that somebody could set the damn thing.

'Tis a foolish person who does not know the operation of and USES the
emergency brake on a daily basis.


On the Ranger, it is useless for most purposes. See sticking knee in ear ...
