Hard braking refers to applying enough pressure to the brake pedal to slow down or stop a vehicle quickly. Too hard braking, on the other hand, refers to applying excessive pressure to the brake pedal, which can lead to the wheels locking up and losing control of the vehicle.
Hard braking allows for a quick and controlled stop, while too hard braking can cause the wheels to lock up and result in loss of control. Hard braking also puts less strain on the vehicle's brakes and tires, prolonging their lifespan.
The weight and speed of the vehicle, road conditions, and the condition of the brakes and tires can all affect the difference between hard and too hard braking. It is important to adjust braking accordingly in different driving situations.
To improve your braking technique, you can practice in a safe and controlled environment to get a feel for how hard you need to press on the brake pedal for different scenarios. It is also important to maintain your vehicle's brakes and tires to ensure they are in good condition.
Some safety tips for braking include always maintaining a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you, anticipating stops and applying pressure to the brake pedal gradually, and avoiding braking suddenly or excessively. It is also important to be aware of road conditions and adjust braking accordingly.
