A POI when it comes to Brakes on anything that can move is that it may very
well be misspelled since they are a device or devices that cause the slowing down
or interruption of motion > Break = an interruption of continuity <https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=566125202&q=continuity&si=ALGXSlbxwhdHKc0fpoiOcM6OGd452Vrb_vHt3ULEN7mEqFcSpXpA93kPTVixBAEOqfcT_OfqyRZssrvbyyBzUgNT5ZkgbxLD3w%3D%3D&expnd=1> or uniformity <https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=566125202&q=uniformity&si=ALGXSlbxwhdHKc0fpoiOcM6OGd45SSGuHw_CJu1hzAwGH739v0wte6zKzc4GvajmCuFEDh-3_QP3bNWHVXdpow-jXJ0vUgGhaA%3D%3D&expnd=1>. So
in Your car when You attempt to slow down by applying the Brakes You are Breaking
the motion of Your car & therefore maybe could say You are applying Breaks ~
