Answers:
who is Todd?"a little knowledge is a dangerous thing"Einstein!
the parking brake must have a force of 16% gross vehicle weight, and have no more than 30% imbalance across the axle.
e.g. a car weighing 1000kg would need braking force of 160kg from the parking brake. but could have 90kg on left wheel + 70kg on right wheel.
it's rubbish about how many clicks and all that.
sorry if long winded but is precise!
miss conduct
More than three clicks / notches on the hand brake
Take it off when you are driving.
