Won't work... too much technicalities involved as front wheel turns too...
Parking brake system is supposed to be independent of your main brake
system.

Had a Citroen for several years.
Front wheel drive and parking brakes on front wheels.
No problem.
You are not supposed to drive with the parking brakes on !!!!!
