Braking Obsessively


 

One of the bad habits that’s seen all over the road is following too closely to the car in front. Why is this an issue? First, it’s dangerous because of the reduced reaction time you have as a driver if something unexpected should happen in front. Also, riding your brakes will wear them out quickly, even if you aren’t braking hard. Stay a safe distance back and only brake when you actually need to.
