I'm a relatively good driver (not the greatest) I'll never understand how people don't understand there's more you can do to control your vehicle speed besides just hitting the gas then the brake. It's terrifying seeing someone speed up on someone then hit the brakes ever every 3 seconds. I've had my set of brakes on for nearly 7 years I know people who change them yearly and I'm strictly talking about the ones I know for a fact get the same level of quality brakes that I get. I own a truck hauling stuff around nearly every day so in theory I should be going through brakes WAY more than the average person.
What frightens me is when you see a vehicle put on their brake lights while they are clearly accelerating. I tend to back way away from that type of driver.
I don't understand ? brake lights light up when you brake ? how could you do both ?
In case you’re not being sarcastic, this is about 2-footed drivers. They tend to always have their left foot “resting” on the brake pedal “just in case.” What they ignore is there’s a small amount of movement in the brake pedal that will light up the lights but not engage the brakes. So even if they’re not just wearing down the brakes, they look like they’re braking ALL. THE TIME.
I also hate this.
wtf ? people drive with their left foot on the brakes ? no, I had no idea. I never ever heard of this
My brake lights were "sticky" when I first bought my car, husband noticed while driving behind me and accused me of riding the brake.
My car is a 6 speed manual. I couldn't do that if I tried.
Back to the dealer, they figured it out and fixed it.
