The technique of braking short of lockup is known as threshold braking. Modern cars have anti lock brakes to help prevent from going into full brake lockup.

in rain, snow or ice your tires have much less traction, and therefore need more braking distance.

Braking is used to bring the motor to stop quickly or instantly. Braking can be two way broadly. One is mechanical braking. Other method is electrical braking. One of the electrical braking is dynamic braking.

Ultimate braking distance is similar for a car and motorcycle, but it requires a lot of skill to do it on a motorcycle. Comparing an average motorcycle to an average car driver, the car will stop faster. (whoever said that braking on a motorbike is an idiot i have a motor bike and am very good on it and ever since i got my bike i have been able to break its simple!!! just like on a normal bike)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mainly 2 types of braking are used: rheostatic braking and regenerative braking
