An experienced driver is distinguished from a novice by the manner of driving, which includes braking. Frequent and abrupt use of the brakes indicates that the driver is not qualified enough. The top-class driver slows down unnoticed, without shaking or rocking passengers. We will conduct a short briefing on the methods of braking.
Ways to stop a car there are a few:
engine braking (skid);
working or manual brake;
combined method.
According to the manner of braking can be:
intermittent;
emergency( emergency);
smooth.
Consider the most commonly used types of braking: smooth-to stop the car in the right place and emergency emergency braking.
How to perform smooth braking
We must remember that for people who are in the cabin, and for the car, smooth braking is much safer than a sharp emergency, and the Rules prohibit emergency braking unnecessarily. It is necessary to brake sharply only when the road situation requires it.
So, we perform the following actions:
To stop the car in a pre-planned place, before pressing the brake pedal, be sure to look in the rear-view mirrors and turn on the right turn signal (to the right side of the road).
Gradually increase the pressure by gently pressing the brake pedal, avoiding blocking the wheels, while simultaneously twisting the steering wheel to the right, pressing against the right shoulder.
Just before stopping, depress the clutch pedal so that the car’s engine does not stall when it comes to a complete stop.
Keep both feet on the pedals, turn off the gear and put the car on the handbrake. Both pedals can now be released.
