Focus on the art of progressive braking – start slight, increase with pressure and finish light. This allows other motorists to react to your actions and is much safer than constant braking. You’ll also find it puts less wear and tear on your brakes and tyres, while having the added bonus of saving fuel. Take care when entering a bend: lower your speed before you enter a corner and accelerate slowly once out the other side. Braking mid-bend could put your car out of balance, leading to a loss of control.
