Did you know the number one safety feature on your vehicle IS NOT airbags? Nor is it the Automated Driver Assistance System we see on the newer cars. It isn’t even your daytime running lights.
The number one safety feature on your vehicle is your BRAKES. If you cannot stop your vehicle in time to avoid a collision, you and whatever you collide with are in trouble.
Unfortunately, brakes are one of the more overlooked and underappreciated safety features that often go ignored until they start squealing. To curb the tendency to neglect your vehicle’s brakes, the Dowdy’s Automotive team assembled a few entertaining and educational videos showing how brakes work.
