No they arent as the brake lights would be on all the time when your parked and flaten your battery and have you ever got out your car and popped something in the boot and seen the brake lights on :wink: It is a good idea though that hand brake should be wired up to brake lights when the engine is running.

You're right of couorse JAmes, but the front brakes do about 70% of the work, so other than the weird old Alfasud most cars have the brakes at the back, if not a separate hub within the disk.
Anyway, the hand brake only MUST be applied in a few circumstances and even then the foobrake is also a means of signalling to following drivers, though I doubt you can shift much blame if any with this arguament, because you also drive no faster then you can stop within the ditance you can see to be clear ahead of you.
Mr Bump:

I was off on a course the foloowing morning so just wore the collar for 6 weeks. 20 years later C1 & C2 are misalligned and despite frequent adjustments are unlikely to re-allign correctly. If I'd seen who I should have when it happened I would be a whole lot happier now!

Not trying to hijack the thread but if it's still giving grief, try finding a really good physiotherapist. :?
PM me for a more complete reasoning.
Cheers
