- Threshold braking.
- Cover braking.
What is the proper technique for braking?
Once the vehicle is in the proper low gear, the following is the proper braking technique:
Apply the brakes just hard enough to feel a definite slowdown
. When your speed has been reduced to approximately 5 mph below your “safe” speed, release the brakes. (This brake application should last about 3 seconds.)
What is braking technique?
Cadence braking or stutter braking is a driving technique that
involves pumping the brake pedal
and is used to allow a car to both steer and brake on a slippery surface. It is used to effect an emergency stop where traction is limited to reduce the effect of skidding from road wheels locking up under braking.
What is the most common braking technique?
Unsourced material may be challenged and removed.
Threshold braking or limit braking
is a driving technique most commonly used in motor racing, but also practiced in road vehicles to slow a vehicle at the maximum rate using the brakes.
What is the safest and most effective braking technique?
Always brake with your right foot.
Do not push the brake down as far as it will go.
Anti-lock Braking System
(ABS) – was introduced in the mid-1980s and has become standard equipment on most newer vehicles.
What are the 3 parts OÍ your total stopping distance?
Total Stopping Distance is the sum of the
perception distance, reaction distance and braking distance
.
Which of the following steps should you follow at a 4 way stop?
Always yield to the right
When two vehicles arrive at a 4-way stop at the same time side-by-side, the vehicle furthest to the right has the right of way. If three vehicles arrive at the same time, the car furthest left should continue to yield until both of the other cars to the right of them have passed.
When braking with ABS What is the proper technique?
With ABS, all you have to do is
“brake and steer
”. With four-wheel ABS, push the brake pedal while steering normally and keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal until the car comes to a complete stop. Don’t take your foot off the brake pedal or pump the brakes, because that will disengage the anti-lock system.
What’s controlled braking?
Controlled braking is the
method of applying a vehicle’s brakes as hard as possible without locking the wheels
. A driver should keep steering wheel movements very small if braking while using this method.
What is smooth braking?
Smooth braking is exactly what
it sounds like, braking smoothly
. You know you have done it correctly when your car doesn’t jolt you forward when you stop. Smooth braking is more beneficial than just a jolt at the end of your stop.
What are threshold braking techniques?
Threshold braking
The technique involves
the driver controlling the brake pedal pressure to maximize the braking force developed by the tires
. The optimal amount of braking force is developed at the point when the tire just begins to slip.
What is the best technique for braking on pavement whether the pavement is wet or dry?
If you have
anti-lock brakes
, you should practice sudden stops on both dry and wet pavement in a safe off street situation. When using anti-lock brakes the rule of thumb is to press the pedal all the way to the floor. You will feel a strong vibration in the pedal which is a sign that the ABS is working properly.
What are the four things that need to be done in the event of a crash quizlet?
Keep a firm grip on the steering wheel. Stay off the brake and gas
. Check for traffic. Reduce speed.
What are the three types of skids?
| A B | Cornering Skid You lose steering control in a turn, and the car begins to skid | Blowout Skid tire suddenly loses air pressure, and the car begins to skid. | List the four different types of skids. Braking, Power, Cornering and Blowout |
|---|
Which braking method is appropriate for safety?
Emergency Braking
: If an unexpected situation arises that requires you to stop, you should brake straight away, but try to avoid braking too sharply, as this can cause your wheels to lock up and your vehicle to skid. With ABS, depress the pedal down.
What braking technique is used without ABS?
Cadence braking
(Non-ABS cars)
Cadence braking is a braking technique for very low grip surfaces such as an icy road – essentially applying and releasing the brakes rhythmically in order to get a compromise between steering and braking performance.
