LOL! :rofl:
Yeah, see most people want to stop before they hit stuff. If you understand a little bit of physics, you can do a lot of things. Like I dunno, understand how to bring your car to a controlled stop in the fastest way possible? Which just FYI, doesn't involve locking up your brakes. Seriously, check any legitimate source on that.
You don't have to learn about friction coefficients either, you can read it in pretty much any respectable automotive book that covers braking. Or tire construction. Or even driving!
