When I set the handbrake on my car, when it's in my sloped driveway, then take my foot off the brake, it "feels" like it moves forward a bit.

However, in reality, the handbrake on our cars is a independent, mechanical system, of levers, cables and brake shoes and drums.

So, if it's working properly, when the handbrake is set, the wheel should be locked in place.

I suggest you have someone observe the wheel, when you set the handbrake and see if it actually does rotate.

Betcha it doesn't ........ it just feels like it does ......

Report the results of your experiment.
