Most drivers treat their brakes with care. Some, however, overwork the
braking system with poor driving habits.
Avoid needless heavy braking. Some people drive in spurts -- heavy
acceleration followed by heavy braking
--
rather than keeping pace
with traffic. This is a mistake. Your brakes may not have time to cool
between hard stops. Your brakes will wear out much faster if you do a
lot of heavy braking.
Don't "ride" the brakes by letting your left foot rest lightly on the
brake pedal while driving.

CAUTION:
"Riding" your brakes can cause them to overheat to the point
that they won't work well. You might not be able to stop your
vehicle in time to avoid an accident. If you "ride" your brakes,
they will get so hot they will require a lot of pedal force to slow
you down. Avoid "riding" the brakes.
