> IIRC the way it's tested is they engage the brake and then put the car in drive. If it moves under . . . I think it was something like 3k rpm, the car fails the safety check. This test won't work at all for a FWD car. The parking brake locks the rear wheels but the front tires are free to rotate under engine power and since on a FWD car most of the weight is on the front axle, the car will happily slide the ligthly loaded locked rear wheels along for the ride.
