2. Anti-lock braking system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-lock_braking_system

   Anti-lock brakes are the subject of some experiments centred around risk compensation theory, which asserts that drivers adapt to the safety benefit of ABS by driving more aggressively. In a Munich study, half a fleet of taxicabs was equipped with anti-lock brakes, while the other half had conventional brake systems. The crash rate was ...

3. 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 ...

4. Electronic brakeforce distribution - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_brakeforce...

   [1] [2] Typically, the front end carries more weight and EBD distributes less braking pressure to the rear brakes so the rear brakes do not lock up and cause a skid. [3] In some systems, EBD distributes more braking pressure at the rear brakes during initial brake application before the effects of weight transfer become apparent.

5. Line lock - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_lock

   Pontiac Trans Am burnout with line locks. A line lock is a device that allows the front brakes to lock independently of the rear brakes via a switch. [1] [2] [3] The device is an electric solenoid that controls a valve which allows the brakes to be controlled individually. This allows the front brakes to be locked and the rear brakes to be open ...

6. Brake fade - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_fade

   A small change in friction causes an exponential change in self assist. In many common brakes, a slight increase in friction can lead to wheel lockup with even light application. For example, on damp mornings, drum brakes can lock on first application, skidding to a stop even after the brake pedal has been released.
