I had to reverse my son’s car about a foot to get the garage door open the other day. Whacked it in reverse, “BOOM!” it was like a body had fallen from a skyscraper onto the roof! I’d put my foot on the brake instead of the clutch

Yep, had to reverse my sisters car up onto a kerb for her a year or so ago, got in, selected reverse *CRUNCH* 'come on, get into reverse!' *CRUNCH*. Then I used the clutch... Oops.

Funnily enough, we had a look at the official manual for the car in question last night, and it says:

"Note: Do not press the release button when you apply the parking brake.
Press the brake pedal firmly.
Pull the parking brake lever upwards to its fullest extent."
