The wheels will lock up and skid and possibly cause the driver to lose control unless of course the vehicle has abs brakes in which case the vehicle would slow to a stop without losing control.

Why do you lean forward with jerk when the driver put the brake suddenly?

When a driver suddenly applies the brakes, the car decelerates rapidly, but your body continues moving forward due to inertia, the tendency of objects to maintain their state of motion. This forward movement happens because your body is not directly attached to the vehicle’s braking system. As a result, you experience a jerk as your body lags behind the car's sudden stop. This phenomenon is a basic principle of physics that explains how forces affect motion.


How does the driver's effort convert into braking force?

When a driver applies the brake pedal, force is transmitted through the brake system to the brake pads which press against the brake rotors. The friction between the pads and rotors slows down the rotation of the wheels, converting the driver's effort into braking force that stops the vehicle.

Why does it slide forward when the driver applies the brakes?

When a driver applies the brakes, the vehicle experiences deceleration due to the friction between the brake pads and the brake rotors. This rapid slowing down shifts the weight of the vehicle forward, causing any unsecured objects or passengers to slide in the same direction. Additionally, the inertia of these objects causes them to continue moving forward until they are stopped by a seatbelt or other restraint.
