Once you've had a slide on a wet road, you often brake too hesitantly afterwards. The fear of next time sits at the back of your mind – and lengthens your braking distance in an emergency.
Trust step by step

- Start gently: Brake early and smoothly in the wet to rebuild a good feel.
- Process the experience: Talk about the moment that unsettled you. That takes away its power.
At Ride & Reflect we work on the mental side of a scare. More in my coaching offers.
