And,
of
course, actual stopping
distances vary greatly with the surface
of the road (whether it’s pavement or
gravel); the condition
of
the road (wet,
dry, icy); tire tread; and the condition
of
your brakes.
Avoid needless heavy braking. Some
people drive in spurts
-
heavy
acceleration followed by heavy braking
-
rather than keeping pace with traffic.
This is a mistake. Your brakes may not
have time to cool between hard stops.
Your brakes
will
wear out much faster if
you do a lot
of
heavy braking. If you
keep pace with the traffic and allow
realistic following distances, you will
eliminate a lot of unnecessary braking.
That means better braking and longer
brake life.
If your engine ever stops while you’re
driving, brake normally but don’t pump
your brakes. If you do, the pedal may
get harder to push down. If your engine
stops, you will still have some power
brake assist. But you will use it when
you
brake. Once the power assist is
used
up,
it may take longer to stop and
the brake pedal will be harder to push.
