This has been discussed back in 1980 and the consensus was to not ride the
brake but pull the speed down and let it pick up again.
I know it is hard to do when there are heavy traffic.
Also first chance you get drive it in reverse and firmly apply the brake
forward and back to reset your rear drum brakes. Yes, the self adjusters
should work.
