The other day I tried to squeeze through a yellow light, but at the last second I saw PoPo and decided to slam on the brakes... You would think that applying a tremendous amount of force would make the car stop within a short distance. But no!!! My brakes felt weird. I felt a kind of knocking feeling coming from the brake pedal and the car wouldn't stop like advertised. I ended up rolling through the intersection and has you guessed it I received a ticket.
Now, today I was heading home and a guy in some POS Oldsmobile tried to cut across the road to the other side and decided HE wasn't going to make it either, so he stopped dead in front of me. So again, I slam on the brakes and the same thing happened!!! Man, I wasn't going to make it. Luckily the lane next to me was clear so I swerved and just barely avoided a t-bone.
I am 32 years old have plenty of driving experience in numerous types of vehicles and I know all about speed X distance X brake force and all that. I wasn't traveling that fast. I'm telling you the brakes just didn't do the trick.
Has anyone else been in the same situation or one like it? How do your brakes feel with a lot of force or pressure on them?
