What does it mean to intermittently press the brake pedal lightly?
1 Answers
Lightly pressing the brake pedal means: stepping on the brake pedal once, then releasing it, and stepping on it again, repeating this process. This method is suitable for situations with low road friction coefficient, wading through water, or dealing with a flat tire, where intermittently pressing the brake pedal can help reduce the vehicle's speed. Brake pedal operations in vehicles are categorized into: slow braking (i.e., anticipatory braking), emergency braking, combined braking, and intermittent braking. Situations requiring light pressing of the brake pedal include: 1. High-speed driving: Whenever temporary, slight deceleration is needed at high speeds. 2. Cornering: When going around a curve. 3. Following another vehicle: When the distance to the vehicle in front feels too close, lightly pressing the brake pedal is necessary.
