My Westy won't move with the parking brake on, probably unless I force it.
However, it does move without it applied.  I mean if I put it in park, with
or without the engine running, and there's the slightest slope, it will
move.  (Maybe it won't go far, but on the occasions it has happened, I was
outside the car opening my driveway gate, so I didn't wait to see how far it
would go.)
