a neat way of describing it - I have also heard people describing it as a lemon shape - taper on - big push - taper off

Filly sometimes gets twitchy because we're heading towards stationary traffic and insists that I brake . . . when I already am! Not hit anything yet ;)
Your 'standard' is how you drive alone, not how you drive during a test.

Not with any chauffeur I've ever had drive me (mind you, since I chucked in a formal complaint our regular firm at least have stopped doing 50 through villages :shock: )

Okay I will add my bit.
I used to call it 'sine wave' braking as well

BUT yes all the same as Tapered/three stage/rub etc/three F's/feel firm feather.
Reg Local's video on his site has a good explanation and demo.

[Not that the guy that delivered the Trout from the farm in open tanks to restock my Parents Fishing lake ever heard of those, full on or off seemed about right]
:headbang:

They had a little bit of 'SEEPAGE' [apologies to David Walliams] :vomit:
It is not WHAT you drive, BUT:-- the WAY that you drive it.
It is not HOW fast you drive, BUT:-- HOW you drive fast.

Cheers Andy

Tapering the braking simply means coming onto the brake pedal with an initial gentle pressure to bring the pads and discs into contact and gently altering the attitude of the car with the weight being moved forward without a jerk, then the braking pressure is firmed up and brake pressure modulated to achieve the desired braking effect, then the pressure on the brake pedal is tapered off as the speed comes down to that which is required. The opposite to tapering the braking is to "jump" on the brakes to start with and then to "jump" off them at the end. This results in a somewhat uncomfortable, unsmooth, jerky brake application. Jumping on and off the brakes is usually a result of inadequate planning.


So, taper braking is about how one applies the brakes, trail braking is about where one applies the brakes.


I would suggest that is how one should ALWAYS apply the brakes ; to me that is just NORMAL braking , as taught decades ago .

One should be equally smooth and progressive with all controls : braking , steering , acceleration .

Good luck doing 3 stage braking in a modern dual clutch car! ;)

How can I tell if my car has a dual clutch?
