riding the brakes
#2
The brake light on is a symptom, but the real problem is constantly hovering your foot over the brake pedal....cause you will sooner or later drag the rear brake pads and ruin them and maybe the rotor too...get it off there and rearward or outboard of the pedal. I learned this a long time ago when I was riding along and suddenly got a whiff of the dreaded cat piss smell. Got off and my rear disk was burned black and pads smoking. No more hovering for me.
