Topic	How do you feel about SELF-DRIVING CARS?
MannerSaurus 01/13/18 2:15:22 PM #112:	Sahuagin posted... I was going like 40 kph, and just touching the brakes lightly to slow down was enough to send my back swinging around, causing me to spin across four lanes and into the ditch on the far side of the road (luckily it was like 3am and no one else was around). I got my car out and then almost immediately had the exact same thing happen when going only ~32kph, but I didn't completely wipe out that time. Yeah, no offense, but I could have told you that. You don't touch the brakes going downhill in low traction. You, ideally, should never touch the brakes while going down hill in the first place... Stay in a lower gear and engine brake. When you are going down hill, even in the summer, you have HUGE changes in weight and friction load on your brakes. Obviously, things happen out of your control all the time while driving, but you should try to plan ahead in a way that you don't have to. Uneven brake pressure or pad/rotor wear, which is a minor annoyance on level/dry road, becomes magnified and has an exponentially worse effect on the physics of your car when going downhill or in low traction conditions. --- Hoppe hoppe Reiter, und kein Engel steigt herab mein Herz schlagt nicht mehr weiter, NUR DER REGEN WEINT AM GRAB <cite>MannerSaurus posted [p:893974297] in How do you...
