  Hi people,
  
  If a brake is use to tab the caplipers to stop the car with brake pads.
  What does handbrake lock? how does it work?

  in the most simplest form, foot brakes uses the brake fluid to stop the tyres while the hand brake uses wires to pull the calipers together.

  also, handbrake usually applied to rear wheels only.

  Yep, that's the fun of handbrake turns.
  If you wanna try, look for wide sandy or gravel open spaces to try.
  Just turn the steering and pull the handbrake
  Fun and safe so long as dun go overboard with speed and turn rate

  thats one form of unsettling the rear. u can also use lift-off oversteer in FWD cars, or power oversteer in RWD n 4WD cars.
