Abstract
Studies on driving led to the conclusion that many drivers stop the engine or switch off the ignition while driving in
order to save fuel and this entails dangerous consequences. In fact the experimental determinations performed prove
that the best braking is by having the ignition on; it reduces the braking distance, it avoids locking up the tires by
keeping at the same time the vehicle stability
