On so basically i dont know if anyone knows but if you drive down to road and u pull your handbrake a little the back of your car drops slightly right? but what i want to know is when the mot tester has it on the brake testing machine does it do the same thing? or does it just stay how it is normally as its not moving foward? only reason in asking is because i wanted to check my rear brakes earlier and when the car drops a little my wheels rub on the wheel arches so i dont want them to pick it up really

#2yes it will drop a little as the handbrake is applied on the rollers, you may get away with an advise if rubbing isn't too bad, its not like they yank the handbrake on sharp on the test. if its set up properly it should come on easily enough. -
