2. Anti-lock braking system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-lock_braking_system

   A Combined Braking System therefore distributes the brake force also to the non-braked wheel to lower the possibility of a lock-up, increase deceleration and reduce suspension pitch. With a single [rear] CBS the brake pressure applied on the rear brake (pedal) is simultaneously distributed to the front wheel.

3. Jackknifing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackknifing

   A much more successful system was to fit the tractor with anti-lock brakes. Fitted originally to airplanes in the 1950s, anti-lock brakes have significantly reduced the number of heavy-vehicle accidents. Electronic brakeforce distribution varies the pressure to the rear brakes during heavy load or hard braking, enhancing driver control. [1]

4. Skid mark - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skid_mark

   Skid marks are divided into "acceleration marks" created on acceleration, if the engine provides more power than the tire can transmit; "braking marks", if the brakes "lock up" and cause the tire to slide; or "yaw marks", if the tire slides sideways. Each skid mark has a characteristic appearance, and an experienced accident reconstructor or ...

5. Motorcycle braking systems - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorcycle_braking_systems

   Early cast wheels were not easily compatible with drum brakes. Sintered pads offer improved heat up time and better wet weather performance. Asbestos was used in the brake pads but its use declined when the negative health impact was discovered. In 1989 BMW released the first motorcycle to be equipped with anti-lock brakes (ABS).

6. Brake fade - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_fade

   A carefully chosen pattern of holes is drilled through the drum working section; drum rotation centrifugally pumps a small amount air through the shoe to drum gap, removing heat; fade caused by water-wet brakes is reduced since the water is centrifugally driven out; and some brake-material dust exits the holes.

7. Brake fluid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_fluid

   DOT 5 brake fluid is not compatible with anti-lock braking systems. DOT 5 fluid can aerate when the anti-lock brake system is activated. DOT 5 brake fluid absorbs a small amount of air requiring care when bleeding the system of air. [10]

8. Burnout (vehicle) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burnout_(vehicle)

   Performing a burnout in a front wheel drive vehicle is usually achieved by engaging the parking brake to lock up the rear tires along with stomping the gas to break the front wheels loose. [citation needed] Mercedes-Benz DTM car burnout. To perform a burnout in a rear wheel drive vehicle, the driver has to simultaneously engage the gas and ...

9. Cadence braking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadence_braking

   Cadence braking or stutter braking is a driving technique that involves pumping the brake pedal and is used to allow a car to both steer and brake on a slippery surface. It is used to effect an emergency stop where traction is limited to reduce the effect of skidding from road wheels locking up under braking. This can be a particular problem ...
