Progressive Braking | Learn to drive: Car control skills

[@j0hnc00]

Feel Firm Feather, this is the best advice I got when learning to drive. Thank you, Advanced Driving School

[@eyelidman09]

I'm an experienced driver, and find your videos very helpful. My instructor told me about this braking technique when I was learning. Thanks a million.

[@najinaji182]

I needed this 😩 I just received my permit and braking hard is one of my problems besides staying in the lane.

Thank you so much! I need to learn proper braking technique, and with the way the information is presented in this video, I feel I have a mental grip on how to execute gentle braking. I am so excited to get back in the car and practice.

[@woodss82]

great ways to stop, it be great if experienced drivers do a refresher course.

Excellent video, and the key to happy passengers!

[@karlpaine974]

I learnt from road craft book which is for professional drivers that releasing the accelerator pedal and using engine braking is better than using your brakes to start with then nearer to the junction or hazard apply a bit of brake to get the speed needed and then a gear suitable for the speed doing. Allowing the engine to slow itself down(engine braking) reduces wear and tear on the vehicle and uses less fuel than braking

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

That technique is called Acceleration Sense - we made a video about it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6ubdKmbgdqVaK8

[@sintovarghese2402]

Thanks for all the videos which helps to study driving and it will helpful a video on how to drive downhill safely and how to use breaks. Thanks

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

We’d love to make a video about hilly driving, but where we live it’s very flat! The recommended technique is to use one gear lower than normal for your current speed, as this will give more power uphill, and more control downhill. 👍🏼

[@uuaydin]

Very nice and informative, thank you. Underlying most important points very clearly. I also love the wrap up at the end. Wish you the best.

I don’t have an issue with smooth braking but when im in a new year car the brakes are really sharp

[@ed_lifts]

More modern cars have quite sensitive brakes. You get used to them eventually.

[@sunilks9879]

Thank you for this video 👍🏻👍🏻♥️♥️

[@tomlodge1329]

Thing is say if you’re braking for a roundabout and there is a bend just before it, you would do all your braking before you steer into the bend but then you would have to brake again to stop for traffic emerging from the right, so really you have double braked to stop. My old man who was a class 1 Advanced driver said double braking is amateur and poor.

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

In that situation we would probably brake continuously around the bend and up to the junction, but adjust our braking force as needed. As long as the car is safely in full control then that’s fine.

[@vaibhavkumar8541]

brake with clutch or without clutch

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

Use the brake for slowing down, and use the clutch for changing gear and stopping. Normally we brake before using the clutch, but at low speed we might push both together sometimes.

[@userzut]

Breaking without clutch wont stall the car??

[@brayton6683]

Hello..do i need to remove the feet from break padel when i change to lower gear?

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

+mahabubul hoque bhuiyan No, there is no need to lift off the brake pedal before changing gear. Sometimes we keep braking whilst changing gear (if driving downhill) but at other times we won't need to - so just do whatever seems best for the situation.

Thanks again for the informative video, always helpful!! I would like to know if is it good to apply a full clutch as Iam breaking slighty when driving 85km/H? as I have heard most drivers saying applying full clutch when breaking ...makes the car run faster and its not safe

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

It can be dangerous to push the clutch pedal down unnecessarily, as it reduces our control over our car. This video explains more: How To Avoid Coasting | Learn to drive: Car control skills kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4WclGeHrL-XbcU

[@mk_30th]

what do you mean "feather the brake"?

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

+robot3006 To 'feather' the brake is to gently release pressure from the brake pedal, so the braking force is reduced slowly and smoothly.

[@pgsm15]

Advance Driving School Yh maybe 'feather' wasn't the best term but now you've explained it makes sense.... good video as usual though... keep it up (I passed a year ago and still watch your videos)

[@v3xt0n]

the term "to feather" is used for car pedals, in daily talking or in motorsports. So it is the best term.

[@Sixalienasa]

Feather comes from the practice of feathering the propellers on an aircraft with that option, where the blades of the propeller can be turned in such a way that their surface is not causing drag when that engine no longer is functioning, the edge of the prop. is presented as to the airflow and so the result is a smoother flow of air and hence less resistence.

[@michaelbarnes2478]

[@Dr4g0nW00d]

Hey i have question is it a good idea that you put your car in neutral and ghost to the stop light and gentle brake ?? because they always told me to stay in a gear in case an emergency happens ??

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

+Dr4g0nW00d The car should always have a gear selected when rolling, as this gives more control of our speed when slowing + the option of speeding up again if needed. (You were taught correctly!)

[@Dr4g0nW00d]

Ease off the pedal gently 👍🏼

[@あきこに]

Is it ok to hit the brake before signaling? Or should I signal first then start braking?

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

We might need to brake first when driving down a hill or when junctions are close together, but otherwise we try to follow the MSM routing - so should indicate before braking.

v nice video

[@Anwarab95]

You videos are really helpful ! I just wanted to know when the cluch should go down , how many MPH do you have to be driving at . In this video when slowing down and stopping the clutch was used around 40 MPH is that not too soon my understanding is 30MPH and under?

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

Thanks. When stopping, the speed to put the clutch down will vary depending on the gear currently selected. We should push the pedal down when the engine revs are low, so look at the rev-counter and wait until about 1000-1500rpm 👍🏼

[@Anwarab95]

Thanks .

[@melody03-i7r]

When we feel for the brake do the brake light turn on

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

Yes 👍🏼

[@ashikat4591]

Do we want to hold the clutch while we apply the break?

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

We should only push the clutch pedal if we need to change gear or stop the car. Disengaging (pushing) the clutch unnecessarily will reduce our control over the car, so should be avoided. This video might help: How To Avoid Coasting kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4WclGeHrL-XbcU

The video needs to be edited to be accurate.At 0:28, it shows g-Force meter at 0.4G yet foot is completely off the brake pedal. This inaccuracy shows at many instances, for example, foot off brake at 0.1 and 0.0 G. Also, the captions doesn't match the readings explained. Would've been great vid otherwise

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

The readings on the G-force meter are provided by the camera, and are clearly a little inconsistent at times. We don’t really think it matters enough to re-edit the video though!

Hello, is it a good idea to downshift while braking? Usually, when I need to slow down before entering a city, I downshift and let the motor slow down while lightly braking, is it a good way to slow down or will it damage the clutch? Thanks in advance for response.

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

+stepanex As long as the braking is gentle there shouldn't be a problem. However it should be avoided when braking hard, as the car is unbalanced by the weight transfer towards the front wheels - which could then lose traction when changing gear.

[@stepanex]

I see, so I should avoid doing that when I would want to slow down fast into a turn as I could get into a skid. Thanks!

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

+stepanex Yes, exactly. Racing drivers get around this problem by using a technique called 'heel & toe' to rev-match whilst braking, but we don't feel comfortable recommending this to less experienced drivers on the road. Watch our video about 'Rev-Matching' for more information 👍🏼

[@stepanex]

I already saw it. I was trying to understand the rev matching for like a day now and I finally understood the pros of rev matching and how to properly perform it from your video. Thanks for all your videos, short and easy to understand.
