“Riding” your brakes can
cause them to overheat to the
I
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.

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.
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
as
you
brake. Once the power
assist
is
used up, it may take longer
to
stop and the brake pedal will be
harder
to
push.
