Can You Brake While Driving Straight?
2 Answers
You cannot brake while driving in a straight line. Below is additional information: Consequences: Naturally, you cannot stop during straight-line driving. Once the system indicates the start of straight-line driving, stopping will result in a failure. Therefore, before straight-line driving, ensure there are no obstacles ahead and maintain a distance of at least 100 meters from the vehicle in front. When the system signals the end of straight-line driving, you can then stop to perform other actions. Test Content: Vehicle preparation, simulated lighting test, starting, straight-line driving, gear shifting operations, lane changing, pulling over, driving straight through intersections, left turns at intersections, right turns at intersections, passing through pedestrian crossings, passing through school zones, passing through bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, U-turns, and nighttime driving. Safe and Civilized Driving Knowledge: Requirements for safe and civilized driving operations, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and post-accident handling knowledge.
After driving trucks for ten years, I've noticed many people misunderstand braking. Of course, you can brake while driving straight! When encountering sudden deceleration from the car ahead on the highway, I always decisively brake to the floor, but remember to check the rearview mirror to prevent rear-end collisions. In rainy weather, I lightly tap the brakes in advance to remove water film, and on continuous downhill sections, I use intermittent braking to prevent overheating. The key is to anticipate road conditions early, ensuring sufficient braking distance. During emergencies when ABS activates, you'll feel a pulsing sensation under your foot—never let up! Hold the brake firmly and keep the steering wheel straight for safety.
