At 20 mph, the average driver will travel approximately 88 feet before hitting the brakes. This accounts for the time it takes for the driver to perceive the need to stop and physically apply the brakes.
The actual answer is 90%. Hitting a deer or having a tire blowout, etc is not driver error.
The driver suddenly applied the brakes.
No, of course not. Slamming on the brakes would be reckless and irresponsible and may result in injury to the children on the bus. A driver that has been reported to do that should be reported to the school authorities immediately.
The force that slows a car when hitting the brakes is friction. When the brake pads press against the rotating brake rotor, friction is created, which converts kinetic energy into heat and slows down the car.
I have had the same problem on my 1996 Blazer. I talked to a bus driver about it and was given this little trick that might help. If it has something to do with brake adjustment, try backing up and slamming on the brakes 4-5 times- sometimes the brakes adjust themselves from us using them in only one direction so much.
The driver of a vehicle is responsible for the proper functioning of that vehicle. Even if you did not know the brakes were bad, the accident and all damages are the fault of the driver.
The driver would need to step on the brake pedal when braking a vehicle equipped with anti-lock brakes. FYI, the driver would also need to step on the brake pedal when braking a vehicle that is NOT equipped with anti-lock brakes. Hope this helps.
"A serious accident was caused by the driver's negligence."
i like to bleed them from rear passenger to front driver then rear driver to right front but if its abs brakes i was told to bleed both back then both front
Increase Your speed Updated answer, If for instance you are in a twenty zone and someone is driving to close to rear of your car, you have the right to go slower, if the driver behind you still drives to close hit the brakes a few times, to let him know, you know he is there. On the motorway if you are adhering to the speed limit, then slow down for a few seconds, and the car behind should pass you. Sometimes the best thing to do is pull off the road you are on and let the offender go on. I highly advise against hitting your brakes. There are people out there that suffer from road rage and you may end up in an altercation by hitting your brakes.
