How can you teach someone "Feel and Modulation of the brake pedal.
The throttle is fairly easy to see if someone stamps on it, but brake pressure is hard if not impossible to see.

Iv tried to explain about altering pressure throughout the backing process but i need a visual example.
Is there any brake pressure sensors out there?

Preferably Uni Pro or Mychrone.

There are devices that do measure brake pressure, and the data could be a good reference to the driver, but if someone just isn't getting the principle of brake modulation, I don't really know how it would help. Are you going to look at the driver's data and tell him or her that they need to apply X amount more of foot pounds of pressure to the pedal?

no more show them what a quicker driver is doing.

Basically I'm trying to get into their head how subtle the adjustments are when you brake.

Will help with Trail braking etc

No substitute for time in the seat, in my view.
