[edit] Gear-headed description
I added a sentence at the end for clarity but I believe this should be rewritten a bit. It is written almost as a terse technical definition for a scientific audience that mostly already understands what this is talking about. Ideally the article should be written more from the perspective of an average reader and not require that they have to follow the links before they can grasp what it is talking about. I realize that this was probably created as a link from another page but it should still kind of stand on it's own. --Mcorazao 19:58, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
- I have tried to re-write some of the article to appeal to a wider audience, reduce the engineering style of language used and simplify the material. Driver sam (talk) 14:26, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
WHERE IS THE ACTUAL TECHNIQUE OF THRESHOLD BRAKING ON THE PAGE?

Yes, there should be the threshhold technique included. Besides, I don't really think there's such a techqnique as "threshhold braking". During cadence braking and ABS braking there are split seconds when the car is kept on the threshhols. However, real threshhold braking is impossible. It would be similar to putting a needle on its end in vertical position.
However, there are drivers who try to brake on the limit without locking the wheels. The problem is that before you lock the wheel, you don'y really know how much traction there is available. That's why many drivers sharply lock the wheels in the first stage of braking to see how much grip they have. Then they unlock the wheels and try to brake on the limit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.185.174.49 (talk) 07:55, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
