Correct answer
No, use the service brake for routine braking.
No. Use the service brake to reduce speed during normal driving; the parking brake keeps the vehicle stationary. Applying it while moving can be dangerous. Some vehicles allow its use for emergency braking under the manufacturer’s instructions, so it is incorrect to say it may never be applied in motion. Do not improvise that use.
