It's such a fucking hazard, the person behind you has no idea you're slowing down

Say that again after I cut your brakes

>the person behind you has no idea you're slowing down
I use the e-brake to slow down on purpose when people are tailgating me. If you can't react in time you're either following too close or distracted. Either way, not my problem.

>>28522859 (OP)
I have the same gripe with regen braking on electrics/hybrids. These days I think if the driver's foot isn't applying pressure to the accelerator the brake lights should come on.

>>loud as fuck
If you're talking about compression braking in large semi trucks, sure.
It's mostly banned in citys.

>>28522859 (OP)
Anon, you are an idiot and shouldn't be driving if you can't pay attention to other cars/drivers.

>doesn't turn on taillights
So doesnt an automatic car when you coast to slow down, whats your point
>loud as fuck
My retarded amerimutt friend, engine brake bans refer to actual semi trucks being too loud, not your fucking economy manual shitbox
>also damages your engine
?

>doesn't turn on taillights
That's the entire point, so 80iq monkeys like you don't signal to the guy behind you and then to the guy behind him and so on so everybody for a mile back now expects a jam up ahead and then causes a jam because they slow down in expectation. This is how 99% of traffic jams start, from people braking when they don't need to, take your foot off the gas and coast when you need to slow down.

Stop tailgating you fucking morons.

Breaking news from /o/. OP is a retarded faggot who shouldn't be driving. More at 11.

>>28523388
I swear all these fucking indians only know to press brake or gas, every 2 seconds the fucking tail lights are on because they can't work out that coasting is a thing.

I think that only applies to two stroke engines where oil is added to the fuel

>Engine brake also damages your engine lmao.
Thats false information unless you make mistake of downshifting gear from high engine RPM's, too high driving speed for the lower gear.
>loud as fuck.
Not in normal cars or properly tuned cars. If you downshift a gear when engine rpm is near the idle RPM like 1000-1300rpm.

>the person behind you has no idea you're slowing down.
The driver behind you is blind or distracted idiot then. Every driver who truly pays attention to his/her driving can see if you begin to slow down. it its fairly easy to notice if you are driving behind other car, if you know your current speed, if you first have been driving same or lower speed than the car in front you for longer time, then you suddenly approach/get closer the other car abnormally fast, like a 0.5-1.5 second faster than you estimated despite you not increasing your driving speed at all. Thats one way how you can sense that other car in front of you has slowed down despite brake lights or tail lights not turning on.

>>28522859 (OP)
Brakes aren't for slowing down. They are for stopping or emergencies.

>>28523382

>>28523382
>everybody for a mile back now expects a jam up ahead and then causes a jam because they slow down in expectation
So why are you slowing down (via engine braking) if there's no actual need to slow down?

>>28523394
Saw some middle aged injun guy just driving on the freeway with the brake lights engage the whole time like he was slightly pressing the brake with his left foot while using his right foot on the gas. Absolutely bizarre

And yet you responded. This is exactly why the same kind of dogshit pointless threads are going to be made till the end of time unless you stop responding to these gaynigger posts.

You try keeping a 40 ton truck under control on a 9% grade with just service brakes, see how far you get.

>>28522859 (OP)
don't tailgate and you have nothing to worry about

>>28523532
even there it is a meme, but passive air cooled two strokes on a smol bike dont like not having air/fuel mix cycling through them on a downslope

I purposely show off that I don't have to use my brakes by engine braking down long hills. I also haven't done my brakes in over 50k and they still have like 80% on the pad.

My car is also an automatic accord with 315k on it, I engine brake everyday up and down mountains by shifting into D3 and sometimes 2 and it hasn't broke jack shit. I also ordered a Maverick and I'm going to run that shit in eco mode where regen braking is aggressive as fuck and I'll probably get 50mpg and still never change my brakes, stay mad

this true chat?

>>28522859 (OP)
Slightly press the brake so the person behind you knows you're slowing. If your dongle drive stickshift requires 3 feet to do that then you don't get to engine brake. I do it in my automatic automobile when going down long mountain roads where the brakes would overheat or get worn out braking the whole time. But normies have no idea their cars can do that or what it's useful for so I at least alert them by slightly pressing the brake. Slight press won't wear much out and you're less likely to get rear ended.

>>28525560
yes

I think that flashing / pulsing brake lights should be illegal. The lights should be on any time you're on the brake.
The lights should not come on during engine braking because it would come on any time you have zero throttle and the road would be full of flashing lights.
>>28525560
No, it is not true. It's still oiled and has less load engine braking than from accelerating normally from a light.

>>28523756
>So why are you slowing down (via engine braking) if there's no actual need to slow down?
so why are you retarded if there's no need to be retarded?

I still have 2mm left on my 11 year old factory brake pads because of coasting.

>>28524071
I do.

>>28525319
and i'm gonna keep bumping it anyway

>>28524071
Jake brakes and engine braking in your car operate on different principals entirely
