actually I would be more concerned because she was able to drive with the e-brake up......if I had the ability to drive off with the brake up I would get my brakes checkedmy car won't even move when I have the e-brake up

You probably didn't have the ebrake on all the way. Its easier to really put force on the ebrake if its using the force of you're leg. I think people tend to not use enough force when pulling on a center counsole ebrake, via arm stength.
