Quiet roads in Bristol area for brake maintenance procedure
Discussion
There is a "brake burnishing" procedure for my Tesla 3, as the brakes are used so little, they occasionally need to be burnished to stop them from rusting, or the caliper seizing.
To do this you need a quiet road where you can repeatedly get to 50mph then brake hard about 10 times. Is there anywhere in the West Bristol / WSM area I can do this without annoying other road users and / or ending up in a drainage ditch?

I don't think anything special is required.
It's so rare I use the brakes in my i3 I do similar, but not quite as 'formal' as your plan. I simply try to remember to do an emergency stop or two every now and again. Also confirms brakes are working as they should.
