| Driving w/out Brakes |
| In its simplest form, you drive as if you do not have brakes If you have degraded or no brakes for whatever reason, you will increase buffers in traffic like you may never have considered previously. In heavy traffic and traffic jam conditions, this will allow you to maintain some speed before throwing away energy to heating up the pads/shoes. With larger buffers comes the ability to maintain a very slow speed while most others are in a stop and go jam. You can use this in any traffic tie up or heavy congestion. Pros include higher FE, less wear on the ICE and braking systems, and easier on your mental state. Cons include drivers around may continuously fill your buffers and thus you will again back off to recreate them. It may actually tax your mental state depending on your aggressiveness. |
