In America, for an automatic, putting the vehicle in Park (P) is putting it in an actual gear to park, locking the gear so that it doesn't roll. Manual vehicles, with shifters and a clutch, yes, you should be using the hand break when parking. Most people learn to drive automatics now though, so that break is called an e-break (emergency break)

The parking pawl engages when you have the gear selector in park, this locks the output shaft to the transmission case. I don't like that it can roll a bit, and the only thing keeping it from moving is a pin. I always put the park brake on, even if it's level ground, mine is electronic so just lift or push a switch to actuate. Used to just leave the old manual in 1st, and still pull the park brake on.

@wifecassie An e-brake is an 'electronic brake', not an 'emergency brake'. There are different types of 'parking brakes' such as the lever you pull with your hand (sometimes referred to as a hand brake), an extra pedal you push with your foot (sometimes referred to as a foot brake), or in the case of some newer cars, an e-brake which can be set to engage automatically when the transmission is put into 'Park'. Regardless of what kind of parking brake your car has, it is HIGHLY recommended (and even states in the operating manual of the vehicle) that you engage the parking brake when you are parking your car as it is much safer that simply using the transmission to prevent the car from moving.

Gonna leave my few cents here too. In Germany, traffic lights have two different "yellow" modes: When you approach a light turning from green to red only yellow will be light up. But when it's turning from red to green the red light will stay on and yellow get's added. It is to say: You can't go yet because it's still red but you can shift into first gear and get set to go in a few seconds". I find it quite practical because I don't always want to keep my foot down when lights stay red for long. The same goes for bicycle lights so you have the time to get back on the saddle, put the paddles in position and go before the cars get their go. On the topic of hand brakes: We learn to put the brake in always but it seems to depend on the "car culture" of the country. In France they purposefully don't put the brake in so that other cars can slightly push your car while parking (at least that's what my french teacher says who has been there). They don't mind scratched cars apparently. So much so that the police wont do anything if your parked car get's damaged as long as it's just cosmetic damage and no human got harmed... 😮

I was born and raised in America and have ALWAYS used the parking brake. You put the car in park then apply the brake then turn the car off. Every time. And I drive an automatic.

I think they're talking about a different thing. We call that the hand brake. You use it when the car is parked so it doesn't move. I drive an auto so the 'hand' brake is a button I push to make sure my car wouldn't budge from its parked position. The gear is in park AND that brake is engaged. As I understand it, having the car in 'park' means the engine won't accelerate but the car's wheels have nothing to stop them from rolling.

Your breaks don't engage when you put your car in park, the parking prawl engages which just locks your transmission. The parking brake locks your wheels. If you don't use the parking break it causes more wear and tear on the transmission. It's always recommended in automatic cars to use your parking brake to prevent the wear and tear to your transmission.

I live in Finland and learned the hard way, that in the winter you can't use handbrake because it might freeze and you couldn't drive at all. So I was told that you just need to leave the car into first gear and it stays parked even in hill. In automatic transmission you leave the car in park and it does the same. By the way you are hilarious 😍

Brake pads are easy and cheap to replace. Replacing a transmission? That's a nightmare.

My mother is an Aussie born and raised in Melbourne and moved to South Africa. As kids we learnt to use the same expressions as her so it's all so familiar.

Californian here, and never have I heard of people saying "are you one, are you two,..." after singing happy birthday. The hip hip hooray we actually did when I was younger though.

I have to say, not one of the “this is how it is in America” is how it is where I grew up in Northern Ca. We sing “and many more… after Happy Birthday, we always say “Have a good one!”, it makes complete sense, you ALWAYS put the parking brake on (who taught her how to drive?

The "How's it Going?" and "Have a Good One" are things in Canada too! Or we say "Have a good'un, eh?" or "How's it goin', eh?". (I mean in Eastern Ontario, at least). Also sorry Toni for the bird name my name is Emelie and I approve of any nickname (Em is the usual).

We say those in America as well. Well, at least I do.

I am from South Africa and a lot of sayings and actions are the same as in Australia. We do "hip hip hooray", "hand break when parking", "have a good one", "shorten names" "traffic lights - green, orange and then red". There are many other differences though but we are closer to Australian culture than American culture. Cheers - have a good one.

Even though we don’t correct people with longer names, I ask straight up now, “do you prefer Rebecca or something else?” Just find out immediately, saves so much trouble.

It is a British law that a cafe/restaurant serving food to eat on the premises (as opposed to purely takeaway) has to have a bathroom

In Canada I think it is law that places that serve food or drink must have a public toilet (for customer use).

These are so fun! Although, i'll say, as an American (Chicago), "how's it going" is normal here, but "how are you going" is not. Hip hip hooray is also somewhat common, but so are several other HB song endings. It's hard because America is so big, regional differences are sooooo diverse. Also, the hand brake is extra protection, hitting a parked car without the emergency brake won't put it in motion like it's in drive or neutral. Unless it's a manual, then the emergency brake is required. Your parking signs are absolutely fucked though, lol!!!

You guys are legends! Love ya xoxo

Hey, European here. You don't use the hand break unless you're on a hill. That's a fact. The cars don't just roll down the street 😂 lol It stays exactly where you put them. Also in winter time, if you pull that hand break it might stay like this (freeze I guess). But I hear they are doing the break thing in Ireland as well.

I have heard "hip hip hooray", "happy birthday cha cha cha" and just plain ending. I think I've only heard the "how old are you" as a kid or for babies.

To clarify the handbrake part, as a north american, when you shift your car in to park it applies your brakes to the wheels so your car stays in place. the handbrake is, at least what i was taught, is for if your regular brakes fail.

Unless your car has an electronic parking brake shifting the transmission into park does not engage your brakes. It just locks the transmission usually with a parking pawl. You are still supposed to engage the parking brake.

No hand/emergency/parking brake is NOT regional, it's more common if you have a manual transmission and less common if you have an automatic.

It's funny. It's definitely a thing. But very few people do it and I've only heard people do it half-heartedly.

My name is Brittany and I get taken aback when people other than my immediate family call me "Britt". In my mind I think "hey now, you don't know me like that. Lol

"How ya going?" and "How's it going?" are two completely different questions to me as a American (Midwest). The former would, like Toni said, imply a question about how you are physically going somewhere, the latter uses 'it' to mean 'life' and is more open-ended. Also in the Midwest of America, I've never had the ''are you one, are you two, are you three' chant after Happy Birthday, but I have experienced an ominous "And many mooooooore!!!" drawn out at the end, or a *while clapping to the beat* "This is your birthday song, it isn't very long. Hey!"

If you were parked on the side of the road and your wheels were turned towards the curb, then if hit from behind you won't go far unless you were hit with serious force. We call it an emergency break in North America and are told to pretty much use it when on a hill.

I'm confused..are all the cars in Australia manual? In a manual I would leave it in gear and set the parking brake. But in an automatic, just change the gear from Drive to Park, and it won't roll. If you are on a steep incline though you should set the parking brake as well

Really? Cos I drive an auto in Singapore, and even in park, the car *can* roll. I know, cos I've pushed it into place once or twice in park before. I always hit the 'hand' brake when I park (in my car it's not a lever, it's a button.)

"Nothing really means anything or it means something else"...completely sums us up as a country 😂 ...Legends ❤

Oh cool we say “Have a good one!” In the US too!

i'm from the UK and for most of these i would say these are fairly similar to us - except the cafes with no toilets...nah...i pee a lot...if i'm buying a drink i expect there to be a toilet for traffic lights we have red for stop, red and amber means get ready to go, green go, amber get ready to stop. I think this is because in australia you mostly drive automatics so you just press the pedal and go... but in the uk most people drive manual cars and you have to put it in gear, get the bite with the clutch and then go -- so you need a bit of preparation (although automatics have become quite popular so not everyone has this issue) but as for the handbrake... when i lived in japan so many americans would not put the parking brake or handbrake on... the teaching company i worked for had to tell them they need to do it because if theres an earthquake it can prevent accidents and it's there for safety... it was very much an american thing

I think it's a me thing but I'd never think of shortening someone else's name. Like I'd never go 'Hey T' to greet Toni unless I heard her being okay with that. I do know some people hate certain nicknames, like it's what their parents called them or what an ex-bf called them and they don't want that association, example 'Becca' or 'Reb' is fine but Bec is what my cheating ex used. On the other hand if someone said 'my parents named me Rebecca so call me that' I'd immediately wonder if just dealing with that person for an hour is going to drain more energy than I have for an entire day.

Detroit here: Emergency Brake/E-brake was designed originally for manual transmission, but is essentially locking the back brakes. In automatic transmissions, putting the gear into P does a similar thing, but not many realize it’s not needed except for inclines.

In America (Pennsylvania): - Toilets in cafes: not sure, I live in the country, I piss outside if I want. There is sometimes a key for the gas station bathroom. - Shout: here give a shout if you need anything is common place. But not to pay for someone. -“Have a good one” is also very common. It’s how’s IT going vs how YA going. - happy birthday song. That girl is talking shit lol. We don’t really say extra stuff. -Nick names are earned in the workplace. -Brakes: during the driving test they asked me if my car was secure. Which means, put the E brake on. But in normal life, we don’t use it because it’s already in Park. If it’s manual, then yea put the E brake on. - traffic lights: it’s red to green. Why do I need to see all the lights? It would cause more accidents lol.

In America we put our cars into PARK so that the transmission holds the car in place. That's what the letters are on the gear shift. P= park D= Dive N= neutral And do on. You cannot get your kets out of the ignition without puttingyour car into PARK. The only time you use the "hand or emergency break" is when you are parked on a hill so if the transmission slips your car won't roll down the hill. But we are also taught to turn the wheel into the curb just in case.

Our cars in Australia have the same system but the car is more secure when you put the hand break on and less likely to roll if another car hits it.

Cafe Nero toilets .. always in the freaking basement in London. And they're stuffy.

As an American I was taught to only use the handbreak on steep hills (excepting manual transmission, but those are nearly extinct). Never seen people use it outside of mountainous regions - or San Francisco.

Hey, Canadian here but think it's similar in the US, for the hand brake thing; I assume the person doesn't understand the difference between manual transmission and automatic transmission. For automatic transmission, you actually have a "Park" gear, which fully brakes the car and you don't need the handbrake. The car won't move if bumped, etc; so we are taught only to use the handbrake on a hill incase something extra happened. With manual transmissions, you always have to use the handbrake since you are shifting into Neutral and not park and the car will definitely move.

George Carlin's response to "Have a good one!" was, "I already have a good one, I'm looking for a longer one!" And I also realized why the plant behind Toni is moving so much... because it's high summer in Australia (early March 2024) and the A/C is probably cranked in their studio 😏

11:44 Cars have a parking gear. You put the car in park and that prevents it from moving. Your car isn't going to go anywhere if it gets hit. If that system fails, and you're on a hill, you could roll away, that's why she mentions using the hand break on hills. But otherwise, you put your car in park (not neutral) and it doesn't go anywhere.

They're confused as Australians because manual/standard transmissions are so much more common, so yes, they would roll away because they don't have park, you leave it in neutral. Your comment is case and point of why most Americans don't get the point of the parking brake. You're defaulting to cars being automatic transmissions. (It didn't help that the video example that was used showed an auto and Toni and Ryan didn't catch that.)

On the happy birthday topic. I'm in the UK and when I was at primary school, if it was your birthday, you had to stand up in class and the class would sing happy birthday. They would then continue into verse 2 (to the same tune) - "How old are you now? How old are you now? How old are you noooooow, how old are you now?" to which you would then have to reply (to the same tune) "I'm six (or whatever age you were) today, I'm six today, I'm siiiiiiiix today, I'm six today" and then you'd have a round of applause. I'm now 42 and my mum still goes in for verse 2 on my birthday

US: any public place has to offer a restroom for public use, purchase or not. Dublin, Ireland: no public use of restroom without purchase. No minimum but a must to purchase. We discovered Coffee shops (Starbucks, etc) offer codes to restroom on receipt that do not change from day to day. We collected 3 or 4 codes the 2nd day and used them for 12 days without further purchase and always had a place close to wherever we were.
