In emergency situations, it is generally better to brake hard rather than soft in order to stop the vehicle quickly and avoid a collision. Braking hard can help reduce the speed of the vehicle faster and potentially prevent a more serious accident. However, it is important to also steer the vehicle in the right direction while braking to avoid obstacles.

How do you slow down a motorcycle?
Over 20 mph, front brake then add back brake. Under 20mph a little front but mostly back brake. Under 5 mph back brake only. In an emergency front brake hard and add back brake hard. Change down after braking, even if you brake to a standstill.
Why does my car skid when I brake, and what can I do to prevent it?
Your car skids when you brake because the tires lose traction with the road surface. To prevent skidding, you can maintain proper tire pressure, drive at a safe speed, and avoid sudden or hard braking. Additionally, consider taking a defensive driving course to improve your skills in handling emergency situations.
What is EBS on a car?
The Electronic Brake assist System (EBS) is a very efficient aid in emergency braking situations when the driver wants the vehicle to stop as quickly as possible. In these situations, most drivers apply the brake fast, but not with the maximum pressure, and this insufficient braking power leads to dangerously long braking distances. The system is triggered when the brake assist recognizes the fast and hard braking by the driver classified as typical 'emergency braking' and activates the maximum braking power immediately. Therefore even moderate pedal force leads to maximum deceleration. This can help avoid an accident or reduce its seriousness, due to decreased vehicle speed at the moment of collision.

You have a 1991 Chevy lumina it is hard to start when running the emergency light is on the emergency light flickers on and off when braking?
First of all, I don't think the 2 are related...hard to start and the brake light thing. As far as the emergency brake-I don't recall, but the light staying on might signal that a brake light is burned out. I'd check my brake lights first. Second, and I don't know this for a fact either because I never looked on my LUmina. But on other cars, here's what I'd do: after releasing the emergency brake, take your foot and pull out on the emergency brake pedal to make sure it's returned all the way out. If the light is still on, look under the dash at the emergency brake pedal and locate the "switch" that's activated by this pedal and make sure that the switch doesn't need adjusted. When the emergency brake pedal is fully returned, it should not be STILL hitting the switch. You can adjust this switch. Assuming I'm correct about the switch being there...after I verified that the switch is not needing adjustment, I'd fiddle with this switch (spin the plunger, check the wire connection...things like that) to see if I could get the light to go off...indicating that the switch is frozen. After this I might disconnect the wire to the switch to see if the light went out.
Why would a 1998 Honda Accord EX LV make moaning sounds when not in use?
Without alot of detail in your question it's really hard to answer, but if your emergency brake is applied and the car shifts at all, the back brakes will make a sort of creaking/moaning sound because your emergency brake cable has probably stretched.
How do you release the emergency brake on a 2003 chevy suburban when the brake release is broken?
If you look at the emergency pedal assembly you should see a lever that has a "u" curve at the bottom of the lever (it is up in the body part of the assembly) pull or pry the lever rearward it should release the pedal (THE PEDAL WILL RELEASE HARD SO...BE CAREFUL)

If your tire blows out while driving what to do?
Keep calm and slow as quickly as you can using emergency brake I would not recommend using the emergency brake. You should get a good grip on the steering wheel and slow down gently. The stability of the car will be compromised by the flat tire. Any drastic maneuvers, such as hard braking could cause you to lose control.

Is there a way to release the ememrgncy brake on a manual shift 2002 escape when the arm is down but the brake is still on?
the brake cables are probably seized in their sheats try lubricating with release all ---------------------------- The way i get stuck emergency brake cables freed is to clamp vise grips onto the emergency brake cable and hit the vise grips with a hammer. Clamp the vise grips onto the cable a few inches before where the inner cable goes into the outer sheath. Make sure that the vise grips are 90 degrees to the cable and tap on the vise grips. You wont have to hit very hard, usually just a few bangs will get the cable to work back into the sheath and free the brake. Remember not to use the emergency brake again until you get it fixed.
Why is it hard to push down brake pedal?
A hard brake pedal can be caused by several different factors. It can be as simple as the brake pedal getting caught on something to the power brake booster being bad. You could also have a brake pad or shoe that is sticking, causing the brake fluid to boil. When brake fluid boils, it expands and can cause the hard brake pedal that you feel. A brake pedal that is hard to press can also be caused by a build-up of water in the brake line. The water in the brake line lowers the boiling point of the brake fluid. A hard brake pedal can also be the result of a restriction in the brake line, such as a bent brake line or foreign material in the brake fluid. The most common cause of a hard brake pedal is the sticking brake pad or shoe, causing the brake fluid to boil. Tracking down what is causing the hard brake pedal can be frustrating, to say the least. Take the vehicle for a drive and when you come back, feel your brake lines near the wheels. Caution: The line may be very hot! If one is extremely hot, you may have just found the culprit causing the hard brake pedal.
