Can you use your car if handbrake has broke?

No, you should not use your car if the handbrake has broken. The handbrake is a safety feature that helps to keep your car stationary when it is parked. If the handbrake is broken, your car could roll away and cause an accident.

While it is possible to drive a car with a broken handbrake, it is not safe. If you must drive your car with a broken handbrake, you should take extra precautions to ensure that your car does not roll away.

Here are some things you can do to prevent your car from rolling away if the handbrake is broken:

1. Park your car in a safe location. Choose a spot that is flat and away from traffic. If possible, park your car against a curb or building so that it cannot roll away.

2. Put your car in gear. This will help to keep your car from rolling away.

3. Use a wedge or chock to block your wheels. Placing a wedge or chock behind your wheels will help to prevent them from rolling.

4. Turn on your emergency brake lights. This will help to warn other drivers that your car is parked and may not be able to move.

Despite these precautions, it is still not safe to drive a car with a broken handbrake. You should have your handbrake repaired as soon as possible.
