Braking Into Court

[@beckywilliams5908]

Exactly!!

[@kishamyers7905]

As someone who has had their brakes go out, you can feel and HEAR them going out long before they actually go out.

[@jessicamarsh9779]

Exactly. When your breaks go out, they don’t just work one min and the next min they are just gone (unless the break line was cut &/or new breaks are installed & the breaks weren’t pumped before driving, but if that did happen, they would jump pump the breaks til it stopped). I’ve had my breaks go out a TON. I ride my breaks. One year I had to change my break pad twice within 9 months but that had a lot to do with not having my rotors replaced when my husband changed my break pads & he told me I needed new rotors, so that’s my fault.

[@wvrjl]

Usually, that's true. But twice I had the breaks temporarily go out. But afterwards, it was fine. I actually had that happen with two cars; an 80's Mustang and a 70's Cordoba (I loved that car). With the first car, I lucked out when the light turned green. With the second car, I geared down, pulled into a very steep driveway (upwards), then just put it in park. Then it was okay. Neither was my car (they were my mom's cars) so I don't know if anything was done afterwards.

[@magicworld3242]

The plaintiff is lying. I believe she was driving around with no insurance. She caused a car accident. She can't get no insurance money. So, she made up this ridiculous story about her brakes failing. She didn't have any proof at all. Then, she got a nasty attitude when she realized, she wasn't getting any money.

[@Aceofwolves]

I have had my brakes fail ...it's incredibly terrifying but she doesn't have proof ....at the end of the day....courts need EVIDENCE...

[@hottuna2006]

It's mind boggling how she doesn't understand the necessity of proof of evidence.

[@Lolalenice]

I got sold a truck with bad brakes I don’t know much about cars the sales rep told me it was because our roads were “icy” at the time and because it was snowing I believed him. Turns out I was driving on half a pad, Firestone told me it’s a miracle I didn’t get into an accident . Cost me 600 bucks because I needed new rotors too. I never thought about suing because there was no way I could prove it she should’ve known she needed that

[@stevo9421]

She is a liar. She ruined several cars in that accident and it wasn't lost on JM that she didn't have a mechanics report and seemingly no insurance report to provide evidence.

Absolutely not. This girl is obviously taking advantage of him and the situation. I do think it’s out of ignorance, but I believe she just got in a car accident and is trying not to take responsibility. There is no other reason to come to court without evidence that the brakes failed.

I'm judging the FACTS presented, which is that the SAME way he can take her money acting as an agent is the SAME way he can reimburse her money acting as an agent...If he agreed to pay in writing, then regardless of you and the judge's personal feelings - he should be held to his written agreement he admitted to in court. The only contracts judges can't uphold are those that are illegal (e.g., written agreement on an illegal drug deal, or loan sharking where someone agrees to pay 60% interest back considering it's illegal to charge more than 20% interest, etc) but this wasn't illegal...He had an obligation to find out if her brakes failed BEFORE he agreed to reimburse her; that's on him if he didn't. We will NOT agree on this.

Also, I'm not so sure it was faulty brakes. She would need that proof for the insurance company, so surely she would have it for court? Sounds like a good excuse for tailing too closely or just not paying attention. When your brakes are about to let go, you can distinctly hear it wearing out. Having had the brake light on was the perfect excuse for her own mishap.

[@markbrandon7359]

Brakes just don't fail all at once there are warnings like a mushy pedal, or the pedal going down almost to the floor before stopping.
