Riding" your brake
overheat to the point that they won't work well,
You might not be able to stop your vehicle
i t
time to avoid an accident. If you "ride" your
brakes, they will get so hot they will require a 1st
of pedal force to slow you down. Avoid "ridil
the brakes.
If you keep pace with the traffic and al1,ow realistic
followirig distance.s, you will eliminate a lot of
unnecessary braking. 'That means better braking and
longer brake life.
If your engine ever stops while you're driving, brake
normally .but don't pump your brakes. If you do, the
pedal may get harder to push down. If your engine
stops, you will still have some power brake. assist.
But you will use it when you brake. Once.the power
assist is used up, it-may take longer to stop and the
brake pedal will be harder
to
push.
