Huh?  Why would touching the brake pedal have anything to do with
discharging static buildup between the car and the ground?  The insulation
of the tires between the road and the car frame should still be there
whether the brake is applied or not, unless of course you have Fred
Flinstone brakes.  I think something totally different was going on than you
think.
