What does 'try to avoid braking' mean?
1 Answers
Avoiding braking means minimizing sudden stops to prevent dangerous maneuvers like fishtailing, especially on specific road surfaces, ensuring driving safety. Below are key points about sudden braking in vehicles: 1. Main hazards of frequent sudden braking: Primarily affects tire lifespan by increasing wear; reduces engine longevity; shortens the clutch system's service life; increases fuel consumption; and accelerates wear on brake pads and discs. 2. Countermeasures: If only the brake pedal is pressed, braking force must overcome two factors—the vehicle's kinetic energy and the engine's traction. Simultaneously pressing the brake and clutch pedals disengages the engine's output shaft torque from the driveshaft during braking, meaning the braking force doesn't need to counteract engine traction, slightly reducing stopping distance.
