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.
I
"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.
