Using "brake" as a verb...hmmm..."Do you brake on curves?" Brake could be used this way but isn't it rather awkward? Brake sounds too much like break - "Do you brake on curves? No, I'm fine after each curve."

In some of my many incarnations, I have been a cycling proficiency instructor, a motor cycle instructor/examiner and a (car) driving instructor and instructor trainer. If I had got there first, I would have said exactly what emsr2d2 wrote in her last post. It is incredibly unlikely, in BrE at least, that anyone would misunderstand "Do you /breɪk/ on curves?"

"Shortly after the restart the car (was stopping) stopped again"

Yes, I suppose one could use that term. From the text there is a strong indication that it was the car that was started again.

I don't see any 'strong' indication either way.
