Introduction: If ever stuck on the side of the road but don’t have an automobile, there’s just one choice: call for a tow truck. However, if you’re on the side of the road due to an ineffective parking brake signal and you’re stuck, there’s nothing else to do except wait until you can get an express tow truck. The Five Stollers Recall has begun to recall certain vehicles due to the possibility of causing accidents at intersections where they don’t have brakes.

What is the function of parking brakes?
When you press your brake pedal wheel on the car’s side that is connected to the brake pad will become hot, and that will cause friction between the two. The friction between the pedal for the brake and metal wheel that is on the side of the vehicle causes the vehicle to move in the same direction that you’re pushing the pedal. If the force generated by your foot is not enough, the car may swerve and steer clear of hitting anything. There is a chance that you could get injured or even struck by a car. To prevent this from happening, make sure to use both pedals at all times during braking, regardless of whether one pedal is difficult to use than the other.
