I had to drive my boss's Merc E200 today.
The "handbrake" is actually a 4th foot pedal on the far left which you push down with your left foot to engage it. You release it with a lever on the right hand side of the dash.
The problem is that when you stop you have to put it in neutral (it's a manual) then take your foot off the clutch, then press the "handbrake".
If you took your test in this car you would fail because you're supposed to put the handbrake on before you select neutral.
I don't suppose anyone would take their test in a Merc because the insurance would be astronomical, but they might, and anyway, it's the principal of it.
Has anyone taken their test in a Mercedes :shrug: ?
