Brake

A brake was a mechanical device that allowed a vehicle to be slowed down or completely stopped by the driver. Brakes were typically operated by foot controlled levers known as pedals.
Klingon Bird-of-Preys and Retellian escape pods had thrusters that were called braking thrusters, which brought the space vessel to a stop. (; )
Parking brakes were used to keep vehicles stationary, making it impossible to drive while it was deployed. ()
In 2024, when Doctor Agnes Jurati was trying to get a transporter lock onto Seven of Nine and Raffaela Musiker while they were driving a stolen police vehicle, she told Seven to hit the brake, so she could get a lock. Since the police were in hot pursuit, they weren't thrilled by the idea, nevertheless they were beamed away mere seconds before they would have most surely been arrested otherwise. ()
