Is emergency braking the handbrake or the footbrake?
1 Answers
Emergency braking is performed with the footbrake, and it is essential to maintain control of the steering wheel. Never use the handbrake during emergency braking, as it can cause the car to lose control. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Emergency braking refers to decelerating using the service brake, which generally means the footbrake. The handbrake is for parking and is not part of emergency braking operations. 2. The car braking system, or automotive brake system, is a specialized mechanism installed in vehicles to ensure safe driving technically, improve average speed, etc. Additional information: The functions of the car braking system are: to force a moving car to decelerate or even stop as required by the driver; to keep a parked car stable under various road conditions (including on slopes); and to maintain a stable speed for a car moving downhill.
