So I researched a bit more on that break thingy... and just learned that this assist provides anywhere form 4x to 10x the assist. And without it, you would literally have to stand on the breaks with full body weight to have a similar effect. Wow!!

Funfact4life, even with modern cars in emergency braking scenarios you _still_ want to STAND on that brake pedal with all your weight! ...ooh, a mnemonic: "STOMP, STAY and STEER". (Stomp brake, Stay stomped, Steer around obstacles while pressing brake hard.) Even if it vibrates! [Grand]pa had to "pump" his brakes (on/off/on/off), we have it easier :)

  > Steer around obstacles while pressing brake hard That seems like a good way to flip a car or truck. Also runs counter to the advice that's given for surviving a sudden kangaroo on road at night incident .. for the past 60+ years. eg: Don’t swerve Most severe crashes involving an animal occur when the driver veers off the road, and hits something else instead. What’s more, the animal is just as likely to flee in the direction you’re steering. Brake in a straight line The only thing worse than swerving, is swerving with locked up tyres. Keeping a straight-line trajectory while you hit the brakes will allow you to reduce speed quickly, then – if the animal still hasn’t moved and you’ve reached a safe speed – you can steer around. ~ https://www.isuzu.com.au/news/news-articles/how-to-avoid-a-kangaroo-collision/ https://www.isuzu.com.au/news/news-articles/how-to-avoid-a-k... and 6.

    I believe Barbing is saying to start braking and if you haven't stopped when you reach the obstacle, to keep the brake pressed hard while steering around it. That said, it's also important to manage wheel and/or brake lock-up if either happens.

    Steer vs. swerve nuance? From your quote, “you can steer around.” - probably thinking like this stomp stay steer video (three minutes): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYBvV_kE6kg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYBvV_kE6kg Have heard in the states: “Smaller than a deer, don’t veer”
