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?

    Does this happen in every car or just one? If it’s just one car there might be an issue in the braking system. Every car I’ve driven has different brake feel but never anything like what you’re describing.
