This question was posed in a video reconstruction of an incident in the US.
You were offered three choices:
- yank on the handbrake
- put the car in neutral
- turn off the ignition
The "correct" answer was to put the car in neutral. Turning off the engine
would lock the steering. Pulling on the handbrake would lock the rear
wheels.
On Citroens (others maybe?) the handbrake works on the front wheels.
