What is the stab braking technique?
Stab braking: Release the brakes when the wheels lock up. As soon as the wheels start rolling, put on the brakes fully again. It can take up to 1 second for the wheels to start rolling after you release the brakes. If you reapply the brakes before the wheels start rolling, the vehicle will not straighten out.

What happens when you hit the brakes too hard?
The heat and pressure generated when slamming on the brakes can cause tears and cracks in the hoses. Such damage can result in fluid leaks that eat away at your brake pads. Left unchecked, brake fluid levels can become low and render your brakes completely unresponsive—severely compromising your safety on the road.
Does sudden braking damage car?
As you press the brake pedal, it causes brake fluid to move through brake hoses, signaling the car to come to a stop. When you slam on the brakes rapidly, heat and pressure builds up and can cause the hoses to crack and tear. The damage results in leaks of brake fluid, which will deteriorate the brake pads.
