Brakes OK. Just can't rely on a Parking Brake in an EMERGENCY!

That's why I'm running without overdrive in any situation where a panic stop may be required around town, up to 40 MPH or so. Then, if I have the presence of mind (and practice this) when or if the brakes fail, I slam it into 2nd (if it isn't already there) Pop the Clutch and Pull the Parking Brake at the same time. After that, it's in the Almighty's hands.
