engine brake

[arthas™]

on long downhill drives, shifting to neutral and relying on your brakes alone is VERY dangerous especially with newer vehicles that are electronically controlled.  Why? Kasi if mag stall makina mo at anytime, mawala ang brakes mo totally.  Try nyo yung bagong Innova, turn it the engine off to simulate a stalled engine and then try nyo mag brake.  Of course, find a safe road and a very slow speed when doing this experiment.  It happened to me last year.  My Innova stalled for no reason and I immediately lost my brakes.  Buti na lang at hindi ako nag panic at mabagal lang speed ko.

yan din sinasabi nila sa kin. hirap mag adjust kasi nakasanayan ko na ang neutral pagtakbo. ramdam ko natitipid ko ng paunti unti ang gas pero aware akong kawawa ang brakes. city driving lang kasi ako and kapag aakyat ng mga province ibang usapan na. delikado na kapag nag neutral ako ng downhill. salamat sa pagshare sir.

tama lahat ng sabi nila. engine brake is there for a reason. be it pababa ka ng baguio or tagaytay or just cruising in the city. pag tumaas na ng 40 ang speed mo, do not put your car in neutral and just rely on your brakes alone. delikado.

Sa Antipolo lang,masasanay ka gumamit ng engine brake lalo na kung doon ang daan mo araw araw..lalo na pagbaba mo ng Teresa,Rizal at sa may Sumulong Highway,talagang kailangan mo lagi ng engine brake..

using the neutral method caused me to hit a tricycle 3 weeks ago. as i was trying to overtake a tricycle e blind curve pa naman nainis ako sa bagal nya i overtook it but surprised when 2 tricycles are on the opposite lane kung san ako nakaovertake. nahuli ang preno kasi nakaneutral ako. so my flasher and my bumper got scratches and dent. may insurance pa naman so i did not take it that seriously. kada palpak lesson learned na lang. i missed using the engine brake during this incident.

by the way here's the damage i'm talking about.
