What is worse for car brakes, stopping suddenly, or pressing breaks slowly to stop in time??

Question

Or can somebody explain to me what causes less damage to car breaks?

Answer 1

Much better to do slow, controlled stops for wear and tear on the brake system....even better is anticipating the traffic flow or stop lights ahead and just let the car coast to slow down. Hard braking or riding the brakes causes them to heat up too much and wears the pads out faster plus it warps the rotors prematurely. Driving behavior plays a major role in how long brakes or anything on a car last...the harder you use it, the quicker it wears out............Good luck, Paul

Answer 2

the best way to use your brakes less it to look further ahead.
never tailgate. you should be 6 seconds behind the car in front all the time. when your on the highway you should separate yourself from the pack and then look miles ahead.
do this and you will see brake lights coming on hard way up ahead . you then have time to brake slightly really only enough to make the brake lights come on for the guys behind then take foot off gas and coast to a slower speed.
as a tractor trailer driver i can tell you this is what you should be doing.

Answer 3

it seems you have no means help. Run the motor vehicle for a jiffy and then turn it off. Pull the vacuum line out of the vacuum booster. it would entice some air which will sound like air being released from a balloon. If it would not then certainly one of two issues are incorrect. you have a vacuum leak earlier the booster, or the booster itself is leaking. If that's no longer the situation, then the grasp cylinder may be by using passing brake fluid and not sending it down the line. yet i think of that's a vacuum situation.

Answer 4

Brakes will wear more if you suddenly stop. Proper "pumping" puts less stress on them.

This, however, says nothing about safety. That should come first.
