I concede that Terry is correct here. So I will officially withdraw by
suggestion of the hand-brake.  Upon further thought, I guess the van
would need traction to get the rear wheels back in line and if the rear
wheels had traction there would be no need for any panic
manoeuvre.  Sorry to all for my idiot suggestion.  malcolm
