An emergency stop is always preventable. You should be slowing towards the junction expecting a car to pull out. That's what this sign is for:
I never need to do an emergency stop. I do however teach them. It is a last resort and should not be needed if you are driving correctly.
Im not sure they are always preventable! they are often needed in an emergency!I never need to do an emergency stop. I do however teach them. It is a last resort and should not be needed if you are driving correctly.

Thats bI never need to do an emergency stop. I do however teach them. It is a last resort and should not be needed if you are driving correctly.
ks too!Fair enough you should be driving expecting the unexpected, but there will always be times when you have to stop quicker than you would otherwise wish to.

Do you really want to do an Emergency Stop with a newborn in the car? Prevention is better than the cure.
I am on the road all day, everyday and never have to brake firmly.
If fact on a 10 mile journey I may only use the brake once...
I am sorry if you can't do it.
You are talking absolute rubbish!I am on the road all day, everyday and never have to brake firmly.

Not if I could avoid it, but, given the choice between that or hitting the young kid that I had been expecting (and therefore driving accordingly slowly) to step in front of me I know what I would choose.
You sound as bad as the plonker who posted that article!

That's nothing I just did 30 miles without touching the brakes...(ok so it was on the M25)I am on the road all day, everyday and never have to brake firmly.

Just out of interest how do you avoid a dog/cat/child who runs out from between two cars 50m ahead of you while you are travelling say 25mph? Now remember you don't see the little b
d till they enter the road from between the cars.0000 said:

As you may suspect, it's worse than that. He is that plonker.And there's adverts on his website. Tut tut.
And if it is the case, is this blatent use of the PH board to advertise his business in an underneath kind of way.
But I will humour him to a degree. I feel my driving is reasonably smooth. Hence I will buy a big bottle of pop (in fact I have one in the car at the minute). I refuse to take the top off, but I will stand it in the passenger footwell. I would wager a pound to a pinch of s
t that it will fall over before I get home. I will wager another pound to another pinch of st that this bottle falls over for reasons other than related to driving smoothness.The article suggests that we should drive so as to keep the car level.
Well Mr OP, I live on a 1 in 4 incline, tell me how to keep the car level while descending and stopping that bottle (that you would have me place topless) falling over. The only way I can think is to accelerate with such gusto that the force of acceleration counteracts the force of gravity pulling the bottle forward. Unfortunately the emergency stop required on reaching my destination would make such attempts ultimately futile.
