Emergency ProceduresDifficulty: 2/5
You are driving in normal conditions and see traffic ahead slowing for a red light. How should you use the brakes to stop your vehicle safely and smoothly?
Explanation
The Highway Code (Rule 117) advises that, in normal circumstances, the safest way to brake is to brake early and lightly, then brake more firmly as you begin to stop. You should ease the pressure off just before the vehicle comes to rest to avoid a jerky stop. This gives drivers behind more time to react and helps maintain control of the vehicle.
