II. Braking (Driving Style)

The highest abrasion is achieved when braking.

Example: Braking at a speed of 50 km/h.

Braking Distance (meters) Deceleration (m/s2 ) (1) Slip Abrasion
Coasting vehicle 0 0
100 0.1 x g 4 1
50 0.2 x g 8 4
12.5 0.4 x g (2) 32 2000 - 3000
(1) g = acceleration of fall: 9.81 m/s2 .
(2) A deceleration with 0.4 x g corresponds to strong braking.
