What are the hazards of emergency braking at 100 km/h to the car?
2 Answers
Emergency braking at 100 km/h is harmful to the braking system, engine, transmission system, and tires. Below is an introduction related to brake usage: Car brake maintenance: Car brakes should be maintained every six months or 10,000 kilometers. In addition to wheel alignment, it is essential to inspect the braking system and the car chassis regularly. The hardness of the brakes is closely related to the safety of the car. Brakes that are too hard are prone to wear, while brakes that are too soft have poor braking performance. Prolonged use of brakes can affect the braking system, so regular brake maintenance is necessary. Car brake principle: The principle of the car braking system is to generate significant friction to achieve deceleration or braking. When the brake pedal is pressed, pressure is applied to the brake fluid in the master cylinder. The liquid transmits the pressure through the pipelines to each wheel, causing the calipers on the wheels to tighten.
I've seen too many cases like this in the auto factory. The main hazards of emergency braking at 100 km/h are extreme mechanical damage. First, slamming on the brakes at high speed causes instant high-temperature friction between brake discs and pads, potentially leading to scorching or deformation, resulting in brake failure or abnormal noises. Then, tire wear surges dramatically, with treads wearing out rapidly or even causing blowouts, especially dangerous for aged tires. The suspension system also suffers, as springs and shock absorbers endure overload impacts, becoming loose with prolonged use and affecting driving stability. The ABS system may also malfunction. Frequent operation like this accelerates wear on the brake hydraulic pump, making repairs troublesome and costly. That's why I always advise friends to maintain a safe distance on highways and to gently apply the brakes first in emergencies to absorb shock, rather than stomping on them recklessly—it's just asking for trouble.
