Motorway RulesDifficulty: 1/5
You are driving on a motorway and see traffic ahead beginning to slow down. How should you use the brakes to stop safely and smoothly?
Explanation
The Highway Code (Rule 117) advises that, in normal circumstances, the safest way to brake is to do so early and lightly, then brake more firmly as you begin to stop, and ease the pressure just before the vehicle comes to rest. This helps you stop smoothly and reduces the risk of skidding or a jerky stop, which is especially important on high-speed roads like motorways.
