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?
Ah. I’m supposed to back away from the brake once it starts to slow the car down. Good tip, thanks
Not really necessary. With a little bit of practice you learn to apply the right amount of braking power to come to a stop where you want to without adjusting mid-braking.
