Learning to drive late in life. I’m good with awareness, changing gears, interactions, roundabouts, spatial awareness, yadda yadda - a lifetime of cyclist awareness.
I just can’t brake softly to save my life. It feels like I put the pedal half down, and nothing happens to the speed and then I do an inch more and suddenly the whole car locks up.
Is this normal? I just have to get used to finding a gentle breaking point somehow?
You just get used to the feel of the brake pedal, it’ll come with practice. It’s just the same as finding the bite point on the clutch, you eventually do it without even thinking about it.
