Did you have to disconnect the actual parking brake and make it nonfunctional ?

The cable is setup so that the pedal can't return to idle. So to pass I would just have to push the gas down. When I have the lever engaged I rest my hand on it in case of a quick release, but usually I only do testing on a 2 lane (one each way) road or when there is no traffic. I don't live in a large town though so traffic is never an issue for me.

I added a second parking brake lever from a metro I scrapped. I put it next to the shifter (auto) so it's easy to reach. I don't have a picture handy right now to share.
