They break harder? I'm not familiar with this term, is it a regional thing?

They slam on their breaks even faster.

Oh, I was thinking of the definition of break, "a noticeable change in direction," not brake, "to slow or stop by or as if by a brake." Got it!

Oh, my fault. I always confuse those two.

A lot of people do, it just got me in this case because the meaning of break lined up with the action of turning onto county roads, so I thought it was some special thing.
