[QUOTE="Re-Raise, post: 1326576, member: 16501"] In my first 6 months of driving I parked on a slight incline in a parking lot in front of a business. I put on the parking brake and had the truck in first gear which had the gear shift angled back toward the bulkhead door. I went into the back of the package car and picked up 2 packages and backed into the gear shift with my leg. It knocked it out of gear and the emergency brake didn't hold. I rolled about 5 ft and put a small dent in the rear corner panel of a car before I could jump in the seat hit the brake. I was completely honest about what happened and was back to work 2 days later. That was 21 years ago and I haven't had an avoidable or unavoidable accident since. Good luck and make it clear that you will learn from this. Always adjust the parking brake and avoid parking on inclines. [/QUOTE]
