Yes... It is called a "brake check" for a reason. It was the very first thing my dad taught me when I got behind the wheel for the first time.

It is always the first thing you do with a collector vehicle and even with that you should always drive to anticipate things like sudden and unexpected vacuum leaks which can and do affect brake response.

Make sure the emergency brake actually works too.
