J. McDermott in Autocar 5 Nov. 990/1 The technique of ‘cadence braking’..is to excite the vehicle into a vertical oscillatory motion by a series of suitably timed bursts of braking, until a considerable amplitude of the motion has developed. Hard braking as the vehicle descends then ‘kills’ the oscillation. 1971 Daily Tel. 22 Oct. (Colour Suppl.) 22/3 The urgent task [in a skid] is therefore to get them unlocked..and then to slow the car—if necessary by other means,..usually by cadence braking, which means gently but firmly applying and then releasing the brakes in sequence. 1982 Advanced Motoring (Inst.
