A vehicle control device and method includes: a gear shift member having a parking brake, a drive gear, and a park gear; a hydraulic brake decelerating the vehicle; a vehicle speed detection member; a control switch, which, when pressed, simultaneously activating the parking brake and the park gear; a control member. When the control member determines the vehicle speed exceeds a first threshold during an operation of the control switch, the vehicle remains in a drive gear state, and the hydraulic brake is activated to decelerate the vehicle; when the control member determines the vehicle speed is lower than the first threshold, the vehicle stays in the drive gear state, and the parking brake is activated. When the vehicle speed changes from the first to a second threshold, the hydraulic brake stops operating, the gear shift member shifts to the park gear, and the parking brake is maintained.
