A method of controlling an automotive braking system (10) comprises providing a driver-operable control pedal (18) comprising yield means (28) adapted to limit hydraulic pressures generated in and mechanical loads transmitted to and from a master cylinder assembly (20). The system operates so that the loads and pressures generated lie in the range of +50% to +300% with respect to the normal maximum load needed to achieve maximum retardation. The yield means (28) is built into the pedal (18) and comprises a spring assembly (46) which holds the pedal in a rigid condition up to yield point (50). The yield means (28) is adapted to co-operate with an anti-skid breaking system (30). An automotive braking system for carrying out the method is also disclosed.
