I don't see how brakes can be released accidentally, just by someone moving or bumping into your bike. Pretty fucked up but I suspect someone done it deliberately.
Also, not to go against ideas for more than one driving test, but sadly I know a few people who are really into driving, have done advanced courses and stuff, but have apalling attitudes to cyclists. For instance thinking 'scaring' vulnerable road users is acceptable or even entertaining response to being annoyed. Believing cyclists should not be on the road if there is a shared use footpath. Thinking not being able to overtake a cyclist prior to a traffic jam means they are being held up. Basic stuff that I wish was more commonly understood. I know some good advanced drivers, but many seem to have an even more developed sense of entitlement. Wish more drivers would just chill the fuck out. /rant over
