The rear brake on its own is great for big impressive long screechy skids -
perfect to make every one look in time to see you slam into the car that's
pulled out in front of you.
The front brake is great for stopping before you hit the car, both brakes
used together in the right order can stop you in time to leave some
manoeuvring room for a quick getaway after you make obscene gestures at the
offending car driver.
