Every time I braked, my speedo said I was doing 30mph. So in reality, it is probably 28mph.
I have had people complain about me locking up my wheels, that was because when I thought someone was going to collide with me, the natural instinct is to jam on the brakes as hard as possible.
This video is a demonstration as to what the best technique for braking in a car with no anti-lock brakes is.
I have done this video on quiet roads and ensured that there was noone behind me at the time.
To conclude:
Heavy braking - 1.87 seconds to stop
Fully braking - 1.80 seconds to stop
Progressive braking - 1.20 seconds to stop
So clearly progressive braking is the best.
