It's a great tool for making 'bootlegger turns!' ... those 180 degree turns made while moving. (Only practice these in a rental car...)
In order to pass the Japanese Car driving license test one must put on the emergency break every time you come to a complete stop. This included stopping at red lights and stopping at stop signs. (Local folk usually have to change their emergency break cables often...
)
The rationale behind this is that in the event of a rear-end fenderbender, the effects won't domino.
