What does Braking just short of lockup mean?

Braking just short of lockup refers to applying brakes without causing the complete ceasing of tire and the road surface interaction. In practical purposes it involves braking with maximum possible retardation without the tire slipping (sliding over) the surface of the road. This ensures maximum possible retardation from friction while not losing directional stability through tire slip.
