yep, if you don't know the condition of your vehicle, its your fault. When is the last time brakes failed on your car? I happen to know that I have 12,000 miles of wear on my 4 wheel disc brake vehicle. I normally get 25 to 30K on a set of brakes because I don't use them all that often. I employ the gear box to slow the car in most situations as I leave sufficient following distance to keep from laying on the brakes. It is the drivers responsibility to insure the vehicle is in condition to drive on our roads.

I'm glad to hear you're safety-conscious. My point was brakes failing is not operator error.
