I guess we all need to experience that at least once though.

I got to do the lost brake thing when I was a delivery driver in 1974. I had the company Ford Station Wagon (talk about a handling pig) loaded with material for our customer. I was coming off a ramp from the freeway to a Tee intersectiona nd as I hit the brakes to stop, my foot hit the floor, the brake light turned on a d the intersection rushed toward me. I had the precense of mind to drop to a lower gear and yank the parking brake and, as luck would have it, no one was in the intersection so I wallowed around the corner and finally came to a stop 40 feet down the road. Man did that suck. Turned out, we had a leaky caliper and the fluid finally drained out enough to stop half the braking circuit.
