Why is engine braking safer than normal braking on slippery roads?
In: Engineering
Because engine braking is often smoother and more consistent than manually applying brake pressure. In slippery conditions, to much of a throttle, steering our brake input can break traction and cause a slide.
That’s not too say that you can’t brake in slippery conditions, just that you need to be very careful with the application of the brakes and be very smooth.
