Both manual and automatic transmissions are equipped with brake pedals. When driving on the road, the use of the brake pedal is especially important. But, do you really know how to brake? Today, let's talk about brake skills, these tips are super practical, I don't know how many you know?

1. It is more comfortable to brake in advance at the traffic light intersection

For a variety of purposes, such as driving safely and clearing traffic, traffic lights are often set up at intersections. However, it is still necessary to pay attention to the traffic at the intersection and observe the surrounding traffic conditions. If the traffic light has entered the countdown stage of turning green light to red light, then it is recommended that the owner brake in advance to let the car stop at the intersection steadily. In this way, not only is passenger comfort improved, but also safer.

2. The ramp is safer to be cautious and controlled

The mountainous sections are bumpy, mostly uphill and downhill. When driving on a ramp, it is recommended that the owner slowly apply the brakes and use repeated braking to reduce the speed. If you encounter a long downhill, then do not apply the brakes for a long time. If you step on the brakes for a long time, it is easy to cause weak brake pads and damage to the brake system, which will affect the normal braking of the vehicle. The correct way to drive through a long downhill slope is to downshift the vehicle and use the engine to brake.

3. Control the speed of the road section that is easy to slip, don't panic

On rainy days, the road surface is slippery, making driving more dangerous. In order to ensure driving safety, car owners must pay attention to the control of vehicle speed and do not drive fast. In addition, it is also necessary to avoid emergency braking, because emergency braking will cause the vehicle to skid out of control, increase the driving danger, increase the accident rate, and increase the severity of the accident.

4. Decelerate in advance to prevent side slip in curves

The road surface is variable, with smooth straights and winding curves. Before entering the corner, all car owners must apply the brakes in advance to slow down the car. On the one hand, the purpose of this is to avoid traffic accidents such as skidding and rollover; On the other hand, it is also to ensure the driving safety of car owners.

Then, when entering a corner, the owner must adjust the steering wheel as needed in time to avoid the vehicle driving out of the corner. Wait until you are completely out of the curve, then lift or drive at a constant speed as needed.

5. The engine brake of the uneven road section is anti-runaway

The road conditions will be different in different sections, and the driving skills will be different, so car owners cannot generalize. When driving through potholes, it is easy for the tires to get overwhelmed, making it impossible for the vehicle to drive properly. At this time, if the brakes are applied, it is not only easy to temporarily lock the vehicle, but also make the owner unable to control the direction of the vehicle, which aggravates the danger. The right thing to do is to use the engine brake to control the speed of the car and then drive away slowly.

The above is the use of brakes. All practical, critical moments can save the owner's life, I don't know how many of them do you know? If you don't know any of them, then it is recommended to collect them and read them more in your free time. After all, braking is not child's play. Only when used properly can driving safety be effectively guaranteed.
