AutoExec Summary
A Reddit user criticizes Australian drivers for not using the ‘limousine stop’ method when coming to a stop at traffic lights. The method involves gradually easing off the brakes to smoothly transition from rolling to a complete stop, reducing jolting for passengers. Responses from other users varied, with some seeing it as proper driving etiquette and others not knowing it had a name. While the limousine stop may increase stopping distance slightly, it can improve comfort and safety by allowing for earlier braking and reducing the chances of brakes locking up. The article also mentions regenerative braking on electric vehicles, which can be aggressive and cause motion sickness.
