Some people believe that if you over brake the rear of a vehicle that under any circumstance, the rear brakes will drag the vehicle (eventually) to a halt. Unfortunately (for them), physics sees to it that weight is transfered to the front under braking which results in the rear tyres becoming un-loaded and with little braking capability on the front, the overall braking is poor.
Any vehicle, regardless of weight or wheel configuration, should have a front braking bias where the front brakes are always just ahead (in terms of performance) than the rears.





Cheers, Rorty.
