I would never entrust my car to the parking brake. All I use the brake for is a redundant safety step. I trust the car being in gear to hold it in place. And the best gears to do that are your lowest gears which are Reverse, and first.
Well if it fails hopefully ill realize before my car rolls away. Is the ebrake in our car cable operated?
