[QUOTE="cyclonite, post: 1085507, member: 787"] Proper braking technique: Please take into consideration different cars need to be 'braked' differently for optimum effect. You cannot tap the brakes on a car with ABS, you will just not brake at all if you do that. Similarly you cannot jam the brakes w/o tapping on a car w/o ABS. Please learn your car's brake behaviour in case of emergency. For me, I press firmly on the pedal and squeeze to allow the weight transfer to transfer car's weight to the front hence compressing the front suspension. After that continue pressing until the wheels lock and then i'll regulate the pressure around the locking point of the wheel so that it doesn't lock. I believe this is the most effective way. All this happens in less than a split second so it takes practice. Also take into consideration some cars with different brake materials such as carbon ceramic discs need to be operated differently because of how their effectiveness are affected by temperature as well.
