How To Brake?

I am surprised how often I see this and it's scary! I can understand a beginner-intermediate driver doing it but I've seen it too often with intermediate-advanced drivers. Moreover, I have found a resistance to change when you point it out. I've found myself practically begging drivers to "OPEN THE WHEEL", lap after lap. And often the response is "WHY?"....You really get concerned when this happens because you worry the driver has limited feel/sense of what's going on.

I think it is applicable to this braking discussion because often it's a symptom caused by over braking and early release of the brake. The driver isn't rolling into a corner, so they're on the throttle too early.
