Off throttle (engine breaking) apply FRONT BRAKE….progressive (1-2-3)Why front ( not a fist full) because all the weight & energy is transferred down the shocks & applying down force into the wheel & tyre. This spreads the tyre slightly giving you a bigger contact area & increased grip. You follow it up almost at the same time with the rear brake (a second later if that) Why not rear break first? Because the only contact force is your weight & if it already started moving forward then it is less. If you start to skid, then off both breaks & re-apply same method. Don’t try to figure out which ones. If you can pull in clutch & down into 1st gear. It doesn’t matter if you can’t & you stall it ( it means you got full engine break ) it’s not a fail Once you have come to a stop. Check your mirrors & both shoulders. Then clutch in start engine & make sure you are in first gear. Now same procedure as setting off if it was in the wet you would adjust how much pressure you put on front just as you would in a normal stop. In CBT you will be taught to break In dry weather it’s 80 front / 20 rear at speeds. Changing to 50/50 for wet weather & just rear brake below 10 mph
