Description of the problem | I have been involved in 2 car accidents where i rear ended both cars due to brake failure. One of those was today. In both situations, we were at a red light and the car before me accelerated because the light changed and suddenly stopped. I also accelerated not even reaching 10 mph and i had to jam the breaks. I was at a reasonable distance where with proper breaks i would have stopped soon enough and not hit the car, but unfortunately in both cases my brake pedal sank in a little further and vibrated. The car continued to move forward and hit the car. Because it was a sudden stop, tires would have screeched because of the jamming of the breaks, but that really didn't happen and the car just kept going. |
