Extending the life of your brakes
The best way you can “be a buddy to your brakes” is to extend their lifespan. You’re also doing yourself a favor, and not just because repairing and replacing brakes is expensive: These techniques will help your brakes help you live longer, too!
Riding your brakes (keeping your foot on the brake pedal when you drive) causes them to wear out prematurely. The excess heat also can warp brake rotors and brake drums.
Although being cautious is always a good policy, try to anticipate stopping situations well enough in advance to be able to slow down by releasing the pressure on your gas pedal and then using your brake pedal for that final stop. In slippery conditions or situations that call for slowing down rather than stopping, if you have traditional brakes, instead of jamming on your brakes and screeching to a halt, pump your brake pedal to reduce speed and avoid sliding. If the road is slippery and your vehicle is equipped with ABS, don’t pump the brake pedal; simply apply firm, steady pressure and keep steering.
Maintaining the speed limit so that you don’t have to stop at every light also increases fuel efficiency, which reduces not only your expenses but also global warming! You can find more fuel-saving tips in Chapter 26.
