What would happen if you are driving a stick shift going 65mph?

Question

and you yank the emergency brake? Will the car slam to a stop? Will the e-brake break?

Answer 1

it depends on how hard you yank the e-brake, and if you keep it there.  if you have good brakes and your e-brake is adjusted well, you'll end up dragging the rear wheels to a halt.  turn the steering wheel and you'll end up drifting, haha!

oh and the e-brake shouldnt break, but i could be wrong

Answer 2

none of the above.... it will probably spin out if you use both the e-brake and the brakes or turn the wheel sharply. the car will slow down, probably stall out, and smell funny for a bit.

oh and for the foreigner above, stick shift=manual

Answer 3

First you will need new tires and second you could kill yourself plain and simple....

Answer 4

oh you foolish americans and your not driving manual cars

Answer 5

The back wheels would lock, car will quickly lose control and probably spin around 180 and end up hitting something.

If it's a manual (stick shift - you Americans) then the car would stall once as it stopped unless the clutch was in.

Answer 6

If you do that and then turn the wheel really tight you will make cookies.  We have done it before.

Answer 7

Might as well you ask... what if I drive at 650mph and brake suddenly? Will I stop immediately and break the laws of inertia?
