I know that repeated sudden stops at a medium-high rate of speed in semi-quick succession can be damaging to the average vehicle, but I’m curious as to how damaging, and in exactly what way.
I’m also curious, let’s say hypothetically I perform 6 emergency stops a week, 3 from 30MPH and 3 from 60MPH, we’ll say I’m doing 1 a day with 1 day off. What kind of short/long term damage should I be expecting from the added stress to the vehicle?
Sorry if this is a weird question. I had trouble finding a satisfying answer to both questions online. I’m not a technically inclined individual.
Thank you.
You’re fine. I tracked my car six times this year. 100 laps of the absolute hardest braking you could imagine from 110mph, and the brakes look just like the day I installed them. My tires though, that’s a different story. You’re fine.
