Progressive Braking | Learn to drive: Car control skills

There is a lot more to braking a car than simply pressing the brake pedal. An expert driver will be able to read the road ahead and then use good braking technique to smoothly slow or stop the car. However, an inexperienced driver might find themselves often braking their car sharply or stopping with a sudden jolt. This poor braking technique will be uncomfortable for their passengers, increase their brake wear, and could even result in a loss of car control. This video will show how to brake progressively - as this is the safest and smoothest technique for road driving.
This video covers;
* What is progressive braking
* How to brake progressively
* Braking to a stop smoothly
* Braking from high speed

We’d love to make a video about hilly driving, but where we live it’s very flat! The recommended technique is to use one gear lower than normal for your current speed, as this will give more power uphill, and more control downhill. 👍🏼

Feathering the brakes means to ease off the brakes a little, so we are braking more gently. The car should still stop, but really smoothly.

@Anwarab95 5 жыл бұрын

You videos are really helpful ! I just wanted to know when the cluch should go down , how many MPH do you have to be driving at . In this video when slowing down and stopping the clutch was used around 40 MPH is that not too soon my understanding is 30MPH and under?

@AdvanceDrivingSchool 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks. When stopping, the speed to put the clutch down will vary depending on the gear currently selected. We should push the pedal down when the engine revs are low, so look at the rev-counter and wait until about 1000-1500rpm 👍🏼

@tomlodge1329 5 жыл бұрын

Thing is say if you’re braking for a roundabout and there is a bend just before it, you would do all your braking before you steer into the bend but then you would have to brake again to stop for traffic emerging from the right, so really you have double braked to stop. My old man who was a class 1 Advanced driver said double braking is amateur and poor.

@AdvanceDrivingSchool 5 жыл бұрын

In that situation we would probably brake continuously around the bend and up to the junction, but adjust our braking force as needed. As long as the car is safely in full control then that’s fine.

Use the brake for slowing down, and use the clutch for changing gear and stopping. Normally we brake before using the clutch, but at low speed we might push both together sometimes.

Hello, is it a good idea to downshift while braking? Usually, when I need to slow down before entering a city, I downshift and let the motor slow down while lightly braking, is it a good way to slow down or will it damage the clutch? Thanks in advance for response.

@AdvanceDrivingSchool 7 жыл бұрын

+stepanex As long as the braking is gentle there shouldn't be a problem. However it should be avoided when braking hard, as the car is unbalanced by the weight transfer towards the front wheels - which could then lose traction when changing gear.

@stepanex 7 жыл бұрын

I see, so I should avoid doing that when I would want to slow down fast into a turn as I could get into a skid. Thanks!

@AdvanceDrivingSchool 7 жыл бұрын

+stepanex Yes, exactly. Racing drivers get around this problem by using a technique called 'heel & toe' to rev-match whilst braking, but we don't feel comfortable recommending this to less experienced drivers on the road. Watch our video about 'Rev-Matching' for more information 👍🏼

Feather comes from the practice of feathering the propellers on an aircraft with that option, where the blades of the propeller can be turned in such a way that their surface is not causing drag when that engine no longer is functioning, the edge of the prop. is presented as to the airflow and so the result is a smoother flow of air and hence less resistence.

This inaccuracy shows at many instances, for example, foot off brake at 0.1 and 0.0 G. Also, the captions doesn't match the readings explained. Would've been great vid otherwise
