Norman Conquest:

It’s a term I use…To describe car drivers who brake but don’t actually shake any speed off. It’s done on the approach to bends that aren’t at all sharp or dangerous, the middle lane of the M1 because there’s more than two cars near them and automatic drivers who have no idea their left foot is resting on the brake pedal.
Thanks. I’ve often wondered why people do the motorway thing. It’s nice that it now has a name.
Ive heard summat similar called "confidence braking". Just checking youre still actually in control of the vehicle…
And who was the racing driver who said, after a serious crash, that he was going down a fast straight, and caught himself just dabbing the brakes to make sure they were there? That was when he decided to quit.
