Braking, a seemingly simple action, hides a lot of driving wisdom. For many passengers, smooth braking means a comfortable ride, but vice versa. So, how do you make the brakes smoother so that passengers barely feel the bump? Next, let's take three effective ways together.
1. Keen observation and pre-perception.
Experienced drivers are always keenly aware of changes in road conditions ahead. Their eyes are as sharp as eagles, and no matter how the traffic lights change, the brake lights of the car in front of them come on, or the pedestrian prepares to cross the road, they cannot escape their observation. This pre-perception gives them enough time to brake early and slow down the vehicle smoothly, rather than waiting until the last minute to brake hastily.
Second, there is a sense of proportion under the feet, and the strength is just right.
Force control when braking is also an art. Too light may not be able to brake the car, and too heavy may cause passengers to lean forward. An experienced driver will choose the right braking force based on the current speed. At high speeds, they will gently apply the brakes to slow down the vehicle smoothly, and then gradually increase the force of the brakes as the speed decreases. At low speeds, they are able to precisely control the force of the brakes to avoid the frustration caused by the sudden stop of the vehicle.
3. Respond calmly and avoid frequent sudden braking.
In the case of urban roads or congestion, frequent hard braking will not only make passengers feel uncomfortable, but also increase the fuel consumption and maintenance costs of the vehicle. A calm driver will keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front of him, leaving himself plenty of time and space to react. When the brake light of the car in front is on, they will gently apply the brakes in advance, causing the vehicle to slow down smoothly and gradually approach the car in front. This calm response not only reduces the frustration caused by sudden braking, but also reduces fuel consumption and maintenance costs.
Overall, smooth braking is one of the most important manifestations of driving technique. Through keen observation of road conditions, precise force control and calm response, drivers can greatly improve the comfort of passengers. At the same time, it is also the improvement of one's own driving skills and the care of the vehicle. We hope that every driver can continue to learn and Xi and improve in the process of driving, so that our travel is safer, more comfortable and more enjoyable.
