Avoid "riding" the brakes.

You
would need costly
brake replacement much sooner
than normal, and it also reduces fuel
economy.
If you keep pace with the traffic and
allow realistic following distances, you
will
eliminate a lot of unnecessary
braking. That means better braking and
longer brake life.
I
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.
