What’s A Hill Holder Do?

Q: Car for sale features: .Hill holder. Not a typo as on several Ford Focus Trendads. What’s a hill holder do?

Great question Jane! A hill holder is any device that prevents a car from rolling backward on a hill when the brake pedal is released. The earliest hill holders were used in horse drawn carriages and early horseless carriages. They were often home-made or made by a local blacksmith. These early hill holders were little more than a heavy iron weight with a spike or other sharp end that could be quickly dropped behind a wheel when the need arose, preventing the vehicle from rolling backward.
