Parking brake stuck during driving test
-
I was doing my automatic parking test today and the parking brake was already engaged when I got in the car. No matter what I did I couldn’t disengage the brake and the tester was really disappointed in me until he had to do it himself. This never happened in any of my training classes and I didn’t know what I was doing wrong and I assumed it was an issue easy task to do now I just feel really stupid. Can anyone suggest what could have happened? I tried pushing down really hard and up as well just in case it wasn’t fully engaged but it wouldn’t budge.

Generally, if you grasp the brake handle and pull up (like putting the brake on), press the release button, and now lower the handle down it will release.
Other than that, practice makes perfect.
