[QUOTE="astalavista_baby, post: 1075989, member: 108"] We gauge our distance by actually seeing how far the traffic light is. Assuming we are 150m away from it and we are doing 160km/h. What I will first do is tap on the brakes as normal. I don't know if it is me, but I feel the brakes reduces the car speed faster when the car is cruising at higher speeds as compared to when it is slower, even when we tap on the brakes using normal pressure. Perhaps it is due to the fast rotation of the tyres? I don't know. Where after it comes nearer to the traffic light, I will start to apply more pressure on the pedal. Downshift for engine braking if you have to, but we don't normally do that under normal circumstances. When you need engine braking to help, it just means to say we have misjudge the proper distance for braking. hehe. Also, I don't think there is a need to tap the brakes a few time before actually braking. In fact, when you start driving and using the brakes, it will warm up after several times using it. Assuming you're braking at a traffic light after driving for quite sometime, I don't think there is a need for warming up the brakes. Just my two cents. :) [/QUOTE]
