What are the braking techniques?
1 Answers
Braking techniques mainly include avoiding emergency braking as much as possible and the use of emergency braking. Here are the specific details: Avoid emergency braking: Emergency braking should be avoided as much as possible in urban road conditions. Emergency braking not only increases fuel consumption but also affects the lifespan of the tires. Additionally, when driving on ramps such as bridges, pay attention to long-distance braking when going downhill, do not shift into neutral, and always coast in gear. Otherwise, it will extend the braking distance, affect braking effectiveness, and pose safety risks. Road conditions on icy or snowy surfaces: Do not use emergency braking on icy or snowy roads. You can shift to a low gear, release the accelerator, and use engine braking. To increase the road's friction coefficient, you can install snow chains. If driving on grass, which is not as slippery as icy roads, generally maintaining an appropriate speed (not too high) is sufficient. If braking is necessary, anticipate and judge to avoid obstacles or getting stuck in soft mud. Emergency braking: Emergency braking should be avoided as much as possible while driving. When following another vehicle, if the vehicle in front is clearly slowing down but not stopping completely, you should gently apply the brakes first. The purpose is not only to adjust speed but also to prevent rear-end collisions, warn the following vehicle, and signal the need to slow down.
