The **parking brake**, also known as the **handbrake**, is a system used to keep the vehicle stationary. This brake acts on the rear wheels of the vehicle and is operated by a **lever** that is handled with the right hand.

In vehicles, some controls are operated with the feet, such as the **accelerator pedal**, the **brake pedal**, and the **clutch pedal**. However, the **handbrake** is one of the controls used with the hands, just like the steering wheel.

Therefore, the control for the parking brake is a **lever**, not a pedal, and there is indeed a specific control for this brake.
