I believe the front brakes do the lions share of braking.
Yes and especially on today’s FWD cars. Rear brakes are more mechanically efficient at slowing a vehicle down and subsequently engage (touch) first. Often pulling up to a stop sign at slow speeds, the front (disc) brakes may never engage.
In icy conditions, they can lock the rear wheels first and cause the back end to sway/slide following the slope of the road bed.
Youtube blogger posts a 4.5 minute video clip of an old Bill Maher episode of “Politically Incorrect” in which Maher says that Mary Kay Le Tourneau (teacher who seduced a 13 year old student and had kids with him)was in jail (at the time of the broadcast) because she fell in love.
His guests disagree with him and he looks frustrated. One guest says that it’s probably going to cause the kid problems in life if he’s now 14 and has two children with his former teacher etc. Maher did NOT look happy. No need to watch it, but I’ll put the link below. If a republican had that kind of television episode, he would rightly be excluded from future work. But nooooo....he’s a dem apologist so ANYTHING he says MUST be endorsed!

No, and I know this from Auto mechanics and personal experience..
In Chicago on Icy roads when you pull up to a stop light and rest your foot on the brake pedal the rear ones engage, an the front ones allow the tires to keep turning. when you let off the brake to move forward the ice is glazed underneath the tires and you cannot get traction
In automobile maintenance rear brakes engage first, and wear faster
