Why does your car sometimes move forward after taking your foot off the brake and sometimes not?
In: Engineering
Depends on how much pressure you left on the brake pads when you stopped. If you left a lot (meaning you were pressing the brake fairly heavily when the car stopped) there will still be pressure on the part that clamps to brake. When you take your foot off, that little extra pressure is released
If you brake more evenly when you pull into a stop, it won’t happen much
