when you are cruising at regular to fast speed...and you see a bump or pothole on the road...and you know it's too late to stop before you hit it...don't brake...accelerate....braking will cause you to bottom out harder...accelerating will hopefully create enough speed to just "jump" over the pothole or bump...your momentum will prevent your car from completely going down into the pothole....or forcing the car down harder from the up and down of the bump..braking forces the car to squat down harder......
now..if it's huge dip on the ground....pray to all the gods....braking might destroy your front bumper or scrape most of the bottom part of the front bumper..say good bye to any lips or aggressive bumpers...when you brake your front pushes down couple inches..especially on hard braking....if you accelerate...you may clear the front...but bottom out and hit the center/bottom of your car HARD.....
