^it's something that you need to be familiar with indeed. i had to use the parking brake as an emergency brake in an emergency one time too in my old lex. a rear brake line ruptured and my brake fluid got low enough to a point of about 50% effectiveness. i had to add additional braking force via the parking brake twice and finally pulled over (good thing i wasn't on the freeway). i had it towed to a local mechanic i happened to know, and he said that i probably had two or three more pushes on the pedal before the entire brake system was rendered useless.
