Most
drivers treat their brakes with care. Some, however, overwork the
braking system with poor driving habits.
Avoid needless heavy braking. Some people drive in spurts-heavy
acceleration followed by heavy braking-rather than keeping pace with
traffic. This
is
a
mistake. Your brakes may not have
time
to
cool
between hard stops. Your brakes will wear out much faster
if
you do a
lot
of
heavy
braking.
Don’t
”ride” the brakes by letting
your
left foot rest
lightly
on the
brake
pedal while driving.

“Riding” your brakes can cause them to overheat
to
the point that
they won’t work well. You might not be able
to
stop your vehicle in
time to avoid an accident.
If
you “ride” your brakes, they will get
so
hot they will require a lot
of
pedal force
to
slow you down. Avoid
“riding” the brakes.
