Shift Brake

Cars and braking

When it comes to cars and brakes I am the first to admit I am an old fart, is not so old that I remember which are called carts without horses. But when I handle all the gear boxes are stuck not only change but also accident. For children this means that you had to match revolutions between the engine and transmission or that he heard a scraping powerful in the gearbox and not be able to select the course of your choice.

The brakes were operated Cable and drum front and rear which means that you really could build leg muscles during braking and if you were driving over 30 miles per hour your chances of stopping within 150 feet depended on whether it is going uphill. Hence, soon learned to use the gearbox properly if we wanted to crash go fast because only the brakes were not enough to stop the vehicle.

What does this today? I take my SUV after a 170,000 service miles and the original brake pads (I've had since new) are 50% worn, so you may have to worry about them renewing by the time the vehicle has a 250 000 mile service. This is because I use my gearbox gearbox braking to today - I told my wife to put a gun to your head if you think buy a car with an automatic transmission. I would see this as giving total control of my vehicle.

Many of you are probably thinking I'm one of those old driving half the speed limit and create traffic queues behind me only to preserve my brakes. Nothing could be further of truth and a few kids, including sports cars, can escape the traffic lights so fast, I would consider it a sin to drive under the speed limit if conditions permit. What I am trying to convey in this article is that one of the main reasons we have so many traffic accidents these days has nothing to do with traffic volume and a lot to do with complacency.

Could it be that the cars have made it very easy to drive that each generation of drivers has become a bit more accommodating? Too drivers of the tasks they are trying to automatic or semiautomatic. I'm thinking in automatic transmissions, power steering, ABS brakes, traction control, so everyone does a little bit to remove the need for the driver is in control of the vehicle.

This brings me to the point of the debt of gratitude we owe to all drivers of Formula 1 car because this is the only way to drive career has constantly developed new technology that has been incorporated into the cars we buy and drive. Listed below are just a few innovations which started in Formula 1 Racing Grand Prix:

- Principal of thin walls and big end bearings.

- Hydraulic brakes.

- Disc brakes.

- ABS braking systems

- Carbon fiber brakes.

- Independent suspension.

- Multi cylinders valve.

- Aerodynamic body.

- Traction Control.

More very soon we'll probably see kinetic energy Recovery Systems (KERS) are introduced into the family car to provide free energy bursts when needed for overtaking. Watch this space.

Next time you get in your car, do not assume any specific gadget that makes life easier for you because by doing so you are probably giving up some control you have over the vehicle. The most important thing of all is the safety car and especially the quality of your braking.
