is only partially released can result in the rear brakes overheating which will
have a negative effect on the operation of the brake system - risk of accident! In
addition this can result in premature wear of the rear brake pads.

example, release the handbrake or take the vehicle out of gear. The vehicle
might then move off - risk of accident!
