hard braking
Sudden pedal stomp
Hard braking is the sudden, forceful application of brakes to slow or stop a vehicle quickly.
The term appears in driving safety contexts, insurance telematics, and fleet management, where sensors detect and record instances of aggressive deceleration: The app flagged three hard braking events on your commute.
Hard braking increases wear on brake components and can indicate tailgating or inattentive driving.
