Guys a stupid question i always wonder, when in an american film we see a car doing a hand brake turn how is ti done? i mean, there most of the cars are likely to be automatic, so, with an automatic how is it posible to suddenly block the wheel to make a turn? puting it in "P" ? |

I saw a "behinde the scenes" of some movie (don't remember witch) and they used big turntables mounted in the street, when the car drove over it the car would spin 180 degrees. |

Well carchasefanatic, National Geographic had a TV spot about this once, while turntables were never mentioned, nor were they shown, it's suggested that a footbrake on the left of the drivers footwell locked the rear wheels in order for a "kick turn" to be done. Most North American cars the parking brake is foot activated with the driver having to pull a small tab or "T" handle to release, this would be far too impractical to pull off that stunt, so now, the majority of North American cars are taking the sensible nod from European Automakers and putting the hand brake where it should be - by the driver's side on the center console. Putting a car in "P" - Park wouldn't really work as that would stop the car completely. No, as mentioned it's a springloaded foot brake to lock the rear wheels. |
