Not every novice car enthusiast has the knowledge of how to properly brake on the mechanics. After all, to slow down on the machine, you just need to press the brake pedal. However, in most driving schools, driving tests are taken on cars with mechanics, and it is much more difficult to brake in them.
So, how to properly brake on the mechanics? If you need to come to a complete stop, the safest way to brake (especially in icy conditions, on wet roads and on slopes) is the following: first you need to release the gas, then gently press the brake pedal and, just before stopping, depress the clutch in order not to stall. After that, you need to switch to neutral speed and release the pedals. There is another way that answers the question “How to properly brake on the mechanics?”. To brake on a flat road in good weather, you must first completely release the gas, then squeeze the clutch all the way with your left foot, and then gently apply the brake to an absolute stop. After the car comes to a complete stop, you need to switch to neutral speed, release the clutch and brake pedals. It is worth noting thatIt's better to release the gas smoothly, rather than throw it. If a person needs to leave the car even for a couple of minutes, it is better to leave it on the parking brake.
Sometimes you need to slow down a bit or slow down. To do this, you must first release the gas pedal and slightly briefly press the brake without touching the clutch. There is no need to be afraid that the car may stall. If you need to slow down in such a way that you have to shift to a low gear, you will have to depress the clutch.
Another question that worries many: how to brake on ice? So, it is worth noting that emergency braking in such conditions has features that not all drivers know about. In ice it is recommended to brake with intermittent short-term pressing of the brake pedal.
How to properly brake on the mechanics, if the car is front-wheel drive? In this case, you need to hold down the brake pedal with your right foot, and at the same time release and squeeze the clutch, simultaneously shifting down gears. It is very important that the descent is consistent, and you do not miss a single gear, otherwise you can lose control of the car.
And if the car has a rear-wheel drive, then it is more difficult to brake. You also need to hold down the brake pedal, release and press the clutch, providing a sequence of descent. However, at the same time, you still need to periodically press the gas when shifting gears - this happens after the clutch is squeezed out. Otherwise, the rear axle maylead to the side, and the driver will fly off the track. To learn how to accurately and quickly perform braking “at speed”, you need to train, and preferably on maneuvers. It is recommended to start at fairly low speeds on empty roads. Then it is worth complicating the task in order to achieve perfection.

The brake system of a car requires regular maintenance. In particular, this applies to replacing brake pads, inspecting discs for defects, changing fluid, etc. But far from always this is done on time and is done at all. Many turn to the service station only in case of obvious malfunctions. But all this can be avoided if you change the pads in a timely manner and do not forget to grind the brake discs
