1. Patience Shaw Says: It stops pretty good if I don't put the brakes all the way to the floor. If I have to stop suddenly I swerve a lot.
2. Matias Owen Says: HAHA if you honestly think that its ok to drive with your brakes that bad then maybe you should not drive a car at all
3. philip e Says: Ok, so lets say your driving 40mph down a two way road, and a little girl accidentally drops her ball in the road and runs out after it, without checking for any incoming traffic.

if you directly hit her, there is an 80% chance she'll die.
if you swerve and hit another car, causing a crashing force of 80mph, there is a good chance you'll both die, if lucky you'll both be seriously injuried. collisions are unpredictable and anybody near can take a fatal blow, this is a recipe for death.

Unless you want to see the brains of someones little girl splattered across the street you'll take my advice and get this sorted right now. your car is not safe.
4. Old Man Dirt Says: Only long enough to park it!
To do other wise shows failure to exercise due prudence, and will full negligence, this is not good in a court of law and often ends up costing lives, money and sometimes time in prison.
Now I don't know about you, but I have no desire to spend time in prison because the brakes needed fixed.
5. Mad Jack Says: With bad brakes I would not drive it to the end of my driveway. Bad brakes are nothing to mess around with. You could easily kill yourself or an innocent victim. How bad would you feel if you ran over a child? It's not just yourself you are putting at risk.

Park it until you get the brakes fixed. I would not even trive it to the repair shop. You need a tow truck.
6. James Says: Only until you run into something and get thrown in jail for driving a vehicle in such an unsafe condition. And that's assuming that you don't kill or injure someone.

8. bkg Says: Until you run into something that will bring you to a stop.
9. The-Razors-Edge Says: You are an accident waiting for a place to happen. Get your brakes fixed pronto!
