LOL. Been busy writing up the 2019 Michigan State Police police vehicles trials. Don't let my editor know I am on here!
Yes, there are lots of ways to bed. Some say drive normal. Some bed with lots of hard-ish stops. Basically, the idea is to get them fairly warm, and then work them HARD (but don't ever come to a full stop.) Any of the above will work.
My personal procedure is from Raybestos on their police brakes. Do half a dozen moderate stops in a row from 30 to 10. (Not important exactly the speeds - the idea is to get them warm without getting them red hot.) Then, do three very HARD stops in a row from 60 to 5. Brake to the point just before the ABS engages, and don't come to a full stop.
This is why the advice to go on a quiet stretch of road late at night is a good one.
The reason you want to do three very hard stops in a row is to bed them properly, but also to show what the capabilities of the braking system are. In an emergency where braking is required, the vast majority of people do not use the full capability of their braking system. They tend to brake too late and too gentle in the beginning. It is good to get used to the feel of braking to just before ABS engagement. Hammer them three times in a row from 60 to 5, and then cruise without touching the brakes for at least ten minutes to let them cool.
There was an article in Car and Driver many years ago, in which they compared stopping distances between controlled threshold braking and panic stops where the ABS kicks in. The surprising results were that panic-braking stopped shorter for the AVERAGE driver in an emergency. Threshold braking to the point just before ABS engagement takes practice (hence, my above technique for bedding) and if a driver has never practiced, they tend to brake too late and too light. If a driver jumps on the brakes sooner, and kicks in the ABS, the theoretical stopping distance is longer, but the PRACTICAL stopping distance in real world conditions is shorter. It is simply reaction time. Reduce the reaction time (to think about threshold braking) and you spend less time travelling at full speed with no braking action going. Even half a second is a significant difference in the end.
It is a fallacy of course that ABS helps you stop shorter. ABS stops LONGER than non-ABS systems. What ABS does is turn the average driver into a near-expert braker, and it maintains steering control throughout the braking.
And of course the Chickenhawk corollary to all the above is simple - I have gotten out of trouble almost as many times using the gas pedal as the brake pedal.
