Steve: on average in passenger cars, 3 & 4 combine to 0.3 seconds. In accordance with the EU Council of Ministers Directive EEC 71/320 Addendum 3/2.4 the sum of the Response Time and Pressure Build Up Time (3 + 4) may notexceed 0.6 s.
Any questions on that?
Yes, where did you get the 0.3s? (is it in EEC 71/320, if so can you point me to it, I can't find it)
Also, aren't modern car brakes equipped with advanced filtering to apply increased braking when the pedal is pressed quickly?
(granted that doesn't apply to all cars)

... the generally accepted view [is this brake hovering increases braking as previously explained.]
By whom? Can you substantiate that?

The choice to make an emergency brake is NOT made in advance. The reaction to press the brake directly (not from throttle) is not spontaneous. I don't think you understand the technical definition of choice reaction.
I don't understand how panic mechanism cannot override the choice mechanism (if that’s what you’re saying). I am most interested to hear the explanation, so please do explain. '
I can do science me'.

If you don't think I know anything about braking then so be it. But if you kill someone and claim in court you were a better driver for brake-hovering, than don't say you haven't been warned!
Emotive nonsense. I could just as easily have said: "
But if you kill someone and claim in court you were a better driver for not brake-hovering, than don't say you haven't been warned!", no?
What I’m after is logic and reasoning, not simple claims. I think it fair to say that most of us at SafeSpeed are here because we don’t take claims at face value.
