There are some types of car repairs and maintenance that can be put off for a week or two. New Brake Installations do not happen to fall into that category. Here are some of the things that can happen if the owner decides new brakes can wait until next month.
Stop Signs Bring on Anxiety
When the brakes are operating at full efficiency, coming to a complete stop at a sign or traffic light is not difficult. In fact, it takes very little pressure on the brake pedal to make that happen. If the older brakes are due for replacement, it will take longer to come to a complete stop. That means the sign and the intersection beyond it may seem to loom closer and closer as the car takes more time to come to a stop. When Brake Installations are put off long enough, stopping may not be an option, at least until after the vehicle passes the sign and ends up involved in an accident.
Being in Traffic is Dangerous
Driving along a busy highway or street with bad brakes is asking for trouble. Even when the traffic is bumper to bumper, that doesn’t mean an accident can’t happen. What if the traffic moves forward a few car lengths and the driver finds the brakes fail completely? At the very least there will be a dent in the car just in front. Instead of risking lives or causing damage, it’s worth the effort to find another way to get around while the new brakes are installed.
Mistakes That Linger for a Lifetime
What would it be like to live with the guilt of causing a permanent injury to another human being? What would it feel like to live with the fact that, had the brakes been replaced sooner, another individual would likely still be around? If for no other reason, having the brakes replaced now rather than later will mean not waking up every morning and regretting an event that never had to happen.
