Advice?
Braking and signalling is difficult for me too. But I like to try to keep in mind that I'm also signalling for the guy I can't see. The one that would hit me because I didn't see him and let him know what my intentions were.
I don't know, maybe try to brake earlier, signal rapidly more than once in between braking?
