how long did it took for u to realise u driving with handbrake engaged? If 200-300m i think a short while doesnt matter la, if ur car break down just like that lol I think u can go bang table liao and consider a new car :P

but seriously, its ok.

 

nothing more than abit of the pad wear off only.

No consequences, at most tighten your handbrake again

[Uncleo]

I did before with my dad's camry 2.0 which is footbrake type. Drove less than 100m. My dad lagi worse, drove to KL don't know how long then realise he didn't release the footbrake. Now the footbrake won't eat when car on slope, but I think your case only 200-300m should be no problems.

no worri bro its ok, but how then later did u realised ? issit bcos u feel the acceration difference? or u saw the hand brake light on ? in either case for case 1 jus abit wear on the handbrake and loosening of handbrake wire , as for case 2 its jus the sensor to tell u that u didnt let go the handbrake fully notting much ....

Dont worry bro. I think just need to tighten the handbrake cable. Let me relate what I had gone through when I was a novice. Gf's father encouraged me to use his car, a Fiat 1.8cc in 1982 which was powerful at that time as I was carless. (I turned out to be also careless). So went out with gf for dinner with another couple. After sent the couple home, went joy ride and park with gf .

 

Near midnite, returned car and parked car in the compound which was sloping down. When I wanted to pull up the handbrake, it was already up! So no choice I engaged 1st gear and off engine. Came out of the car and I could smell rubber. Off course, I acted blur without telling gf what I did.

 

When I reached home, asked my dad what will happen to the car. He said that though gear engaged the car could still inch down the slope but very very slowly. Other than that, no serious damage to the car. I couldnt sleep well that nite as I imagine that the car will roll down the slope and smash the gate before morning.

 

So next morning, I called my gf to ask whether the car was alright (meaning to ask her whether it is still there and not at the end of the slope!) Phew what a relieve that the car still there. Off course, my gf's ahmad would know what happened when he take over the car the next morning. But I acted blur. After that incident, never use the car again, although gf's father still keep offering the car for use.

When i just got license, want to learn parking without pole and my uncle offered his car to teach me.

 

After a few round of parkings practice, suddenly engine keep stalling. Was thinking to myself, I can't be that bad at getting the bitting point. Then i rammed the engine at half clutch. Car move with weird sound. Then my uncle very calmly told me the hand brake is engaged.

 

Few months later, he changed to a new car.
