  12. Always lower the speed of the car before applying the brakes as high-speed forces the brakes to dissipate more energy.

  13. Stopping at a lower speed helps the brakes to produce less kinetic energy and less damage is done due to the produced heat.

  14. Running down the gears and gradually stopping will help maintain your brakes and also control the stopping distance.

  15. Avoid excess weights
