How to Brake for Beginners?

It is best to use intermittent braking when applying the brakes in a car, which means pressing and releasing the brake pedal quickly and repeatedly until the car comes to a complete stop. Pay attention to pressing the pedal swiftly. Here are the reasons: Air brakes are generally used in heavy-duty vehicles, so their braking effect is better than hydraulic brakes. However, pressing the air brake pedal too hard can cause uneven braking, so intermittent braking is recommended for vehicles with air brakes. Here is a brief introduction to air brakes: 1. Air braking is a type of braking system. 2. In automobiles, a series of specialized devices that apply a certain force from the external environment (mainly the road surface) to specific parts of the vehicle (mainly the wheels) to enforce a certain degree of braking are collectively referred to as the braking system.
I remember when I first started driving, the brakes always felt very stiff, causing passengers to jerk forward and backward. The most important thing is anticipation—when you see an intersection or a situation ahead, ease off the accelerator early to let the car slow down naturally. I usually tap the brake pedal lightly two or three times, which makes the deceleration smoother. In case of an emergency, don’t panic—just stomp on the brake pedal firmly. Modern cars are equipped with ABS (anti-lock braking system), so you won’t lose control. On rainy days, it’s even more important to slow down early, as braking distance increases significantly when tires skid. During practice, I specifically found open areas to practice braking with different levels of force. Now, pressing the brakes feels as smooth as stepping on cotton.
