"Cover your break"?
Magnulus 4 February 2005 11:33:46
	I've heard this advice alot. My question is, why cover your break at an intersection- what use does it do? Suppose I enter an intersection with a green light at 30 mph (following the usually defensive driving advice to slow down a bit), and I just happen to see that pickup comming at me at 40 mph, running the red light. What good will slamming on the brake do? Will my car really stop that fast? Wouldn't it be better to slam on the accelerator (assuming my car could accelerate that quickly?) What's the proper "defensive driving" technique in that situation that would make covering ones brake a good thing? I suppose- maybe, if you stopped fast enough the pickup might catch you on the front end instead of the midsection of the car. Any clues?

Slowing down makes it easier to turn (i.e. swerve out of someone's way) without spinning out/throwing your passengers into the doors.
