SLAMMING BRAKESDOESN’T SAVE THEMAND HURTS THE CARDear Tom and Ray:My wife’s grandfather drives like an idiot.Specifically, he never touches the brake pedal untilthe very last second, at which point he slams on thebrake, throwing everyone forward and sending variousobjects hurtling about the car. Someone finallyasked him what he is thinking, and he replied thathe is prolonging the life of the brakes. His theory isthat if he slams on the brakes, lurching the car to afast, screeching halt in a second, it means less timefor the brake pads to be rubbing and thus wearingdown. If he gradually eases the car to a nice, sanestop, it means all the more time for the brakes tobe wearing down. Of course, he’s crazy, right? Orcould he be on to something?– IanRAY: Maybe he doesn’t like you guys, Ian.Perhaps his real goal is to get you all to stopriding with him. In which case, it’s not workingyet. Tell him he needs to wait a few secondslonger before slamming on the brakes.TOM: He’s nuts, Ian.RAY: The amount of wear on the brakepads can be calculated by multiplying forceby distance.TOM: So, using more force over less distance(like he’s doing) is really the same as using lessforce over more distance (like the rest of thesane population does).RAY: In other words, he’s making you bangyour foreheads on the dashboard for nothing.TOM: In fact, he even may be shorteningthe life of his brakes. By repeatedly causing arapid rise in temperature from all that friction,he could cause warping or cracking of the brakelining material.RAY: He’s also damaging other parts of his carby jamming on the brakes. By making what essentiallyare “panic stops,” he’s stretching things likesuspension parts and motor mounts to their limitsand shortening their lives.TOM: Not to mention all the extra money he’sgoing to have to spend on carpet cleaner after hemakes you guys carsick.RAY: Tell him that if he really wants his car tolast a long time, the best way to drive it is gently.Start gently, anticipate turns and stops, and slowdown gently.TOM: And tell him this also increases thelikelihood that his progeny will come to visit himoccasionally when he’s in the home.* * *Wait!
