Force = Mass x Acceleration
The quicker you stop, the more force you have to use. So if you brake slowly over a period of time you'll put less wear on your brakes. Also, the cars behind you will be better able to react to your gradual deceleration instead of having to slam on the brakes to avoid hitting you. |

Slow, even pressure is definitely better for the brakes (and the passengers also :)) Plus, there's less chance of locking up the brakes and risking an accident. |

Slow acceleration and easy stopping makes for better fuel economy. |

Why must you call us ":stupid" when you ask a question about safety?? |

Its easier on the brakes and the passengers to brake slowly. You also run the risk of being rear ended by braking fast and hard. |

Gradual braking is better for the brakes. Even though there is contact for a longer period, the heat build up is no greater, and is probably even LESS than when you wait 'till the last minute and brake hard.
The only problem with this is the impatient guy behind you will make a quick lane change to go around you, and then if he causes an accident, say it's YOUR fault just like the people on the freeway passing slower drivers. |

Slow is better, if it will stop the car in time.
Fast is better if it is the only way to avoid crashing.
Fast is more likely to cause skidding, which is bad for tires. |

By easing of the gas early
A/ you are using less fuel
B/ you are causing less wear on your brakes
C/ You are being kinder to your passengers
D/ You are giving the guy behind you more time to stop so preventing a rear end bump
E/ Your dad is totally wrong and is driving aggresively

Downshift, it saves wear on brakes, especially when exiting freeway or when you see light change and you're at a distance to downshift. Plan ahead! |
