Had a wee accident

<< < (6/14) > >>

smo:
On a road such as it was you wouldnt be applying the handbrake in any curcumstances especially not for someone turning off. It just so happens that  no brake lights were showing at all!

thumbs:
yeah but when tou learn you are supposed to put the handbrake on, not sit on the brakes.

but at the end off the day, as long as your all ok let the insurance companys do the rest

muddyjames:
At junctions and traffic lights etc when your stopped for a few seconds or more your supposed to apply the hand brake as holding your foot on the foot brake (i have been told) creates the brake disk to warp as the metal where the pads done touch cool down faster than the metal under the pads.

I am no expert on hand brakes but surely non LR vehicles have the brake pads on the rear wheels pull on by the hand brake. Any truth in this?

Boggert:
Hi Smo,

Firstly glad you and everyone is ok. Its is only a car, but if you ask it shows how well landies are built... It stood up well.
If it is written off, don't forget your snorkel...
