Description of the problem | I drive a lot due to commuting to and from work. Recently i have had to brake suddenly due to rapid change in flow of traffic. I had a near miss. I was 5 car lengths behind a vehicle in front of me when traffic came to a halt. I was travelling at 55mph. I had stepped on the brake as far down and hard as i could. My vehicle wouldn't stop. I had to swerve around the vehicle in front of me in order to avoid hitting them. My seat belt didn't lock and i felt as if i wasn't slowing down. The same thing happened to me while driving at a slower speed of 30 mph. I broke again hard and my car wouldn't stop. |
