Yep, I am confused about this 'braking power', as displayed the other
day, when I press down on my brake pedal, the 'braking power' or rather
the 'stopping power' is up to me. Either I can judge the 'point of no
return' grip between my tyres and the road correctly and therefore stop
quickly, or I can misjudge this and lock up the wheels, sliding to a
halt further down the road (in a foul-smelling cloud of brakes and
rubber).
My brakes easily stop my wheels going around but this has no relation to
how quickly the car stops moving in a forward (or rearward... or
sidward) direction.
Or am I missing something here?
