By slowly working some of the good driving habits below into your routine, it can help extend the life of your brake pads and rotors:
Driving with only one foot: You do not want to use your left foot to brake before your right foot has completely let off the gas pedal. Attempting to brake while there is still pressure on the accelerator requires much more effort from your brake system.
Obeying the speed limit: Making sudden stops, especially from higher speeds, is very taxing on your brake system components.
Being observant of traffic: Giving yourself enough time and space to brake more gradually or even coasting, allows the engine to decelerate, which puts much less strain on the braking system.
Minimizing the weight in your vehicle: Reducing the weight in the trunk or back of your vehicle will require less braking power.
Bringing your vehicle in for brake inspections regularly: Driving with worn brake components puts more stress on the rest of the system. As a result, having regular inspections and getting brake pad replacement done as necessary will ensure the safety of your vehicle and prevent more expensive repairs down the road.
