And, um, there is this thing called a parking brake. We used to call them emergency brakes.

Have you ever actually tried to use the parking/emergency brake to stop the car? I’ve experienced it, a former friend thought it was funny, pulled the brake lever and the back wheels locked up. The car fishtailed nearly out of control before I could get to a stop. I put the now-former friend out of the car. Not funny, not funny at all. Flat-spotted some nice V-rated tires, too.
