Driving Tip: Brake early rather than late.
The worst thing you can do is slam on the brakes right before you’re going to collide into a car. That’s because not only is it really uncomfortable to yourself and the people in your car, you run the risk of losing traction and actually slamming into that car in front of you.
Therefore, brake early rather than late. You should have your brake at the pedal ready to press on it or already pressing on it when the car in front of you starts braking (when their red light goes on).
This way, not only can you press the brake harder and stop fully before hitting the car in front of you, it also shows the person behind you that you are braking, giving them the signal to brake as well. It’s safe for everyone.
