Watch a passenger closely sometime, and you'll see that they lean forwards a little bit just before it happens so that their head doesn't hit the headrest. It's subtle but unmistakable once you see it, and it's completely unconscious. Don't get me wrong though I'd find it hilarious

I'll have to watch for it when I have someone other than my GF in the car. It's rare that I have anyone else as a passenger and she's used to me stopping very smoothly so maybe she doesn't do it.

My driving teacher taught me to release the brakes at the very last moment and coast the last inch or so to a stop. Been doing it without thought for decades, thought of it as proper car handling and nothing more until I got my (current) first car with an automatic tranny. I can't be arsed to put it in neutral at every stop so now I just live with the jerk.

Just let off the brakes a little as you come to a stop, it's really not hard???

You can still get a no-jerk stop if you ease off the brakes slightly just before you come to a stop. Obviously in an auto you can't totally lift your foot but you can train yourself to get the same effect by lifting, say, 30%.

Lightbulb Out posted:Just let off the brakes a little as you come to a stop, it's really not hard??? Oh, I do the best I can. Still, with an auto in drive you gotta apply the brakes for the car to stop. There will be a tiny jerk if the brakes are applied at all when the car stops. If you coast the last bit without any brakes in neutral or with the clutch down there's zero noticable jerk.

Nah, I firmly believe you can limo stop most autos, same lift-off technique to balance out the front end.

It was very bizarre.

My mom does this too, it's super weird and unsettling. I always stop autos without jerking unless I'm in a panic stop, the little lift is so deeply ingrained into my driving habits it's really difficult to even get a jerk.

I pretty much always do the no jerk stop. My dad always jokingly complained about whiplash when I was learning to drive with him, so it just became second nature. Looking around me it seems like most people don't do it though, and none of my friends do it. I taught my GF to do it because it really isn't nice to get jerked forward all the time as a passenger. Most satisfying is doing it when coming to a stop quickly. Speaking of my friends driving. While I'm not afraid, it can get very frustrating do be a passenger with them. One of them can block the left lane (out of 2) for 20 minutes straight and fail to notice the angry Audi driver 2 inches behind him. He then gets surprised when he gets undertaken by 3 cars. The other one I have in mind can do phone stuff out of the blue and generally get distracted. Both don't like being told off neither. I've given up.
