You know that you are going to get arse ended.

Do you keep your foot on the brakes so that you don't get pushed into
the car in front or do keep your foot off the brake and have two bumps
but of less severity?

Why do you need to ask?


Because today I decided to keep my foot on the brake so that I would
not hit the car in front.

I am just wondering if I would be a little less sore had I let my foot
off the brake.

I'd say you'd be more sore, as your vehicle would have accelerated
faster and then decellerated rapidly when it hit the vehicle in front.
With the brakes on, you'll have accelerated slower and decellerated
slower so less force acting on you.


Well I have no intention of going out and trying it again with my brakes
off:-)
