thaks get it ordered on monday. and its not dangerous to drive with no brakes and not illegal, brake failure is covered in the highway code and advanced driving, also under the equivalent to driving on ice. handbrake is the emergency braking system not just for parking up, that's why it tested as it is on an mot. and it was the break warning fluid light that's not come on. Any way parked up till fixed anyway.
Try giving your reasoning that driving with no brakes is not dangerous nor illegal to the Traffic Police Officer that attends your accident (who incidentally will be a Class 1 Advanced Driver, not one of the attendees on the few 'courses' given by the Institute of Advanced Motorists either) to scrape up your bits (or more importantly, any 3rd party that you take out with you). And then try explaining it to the enivitable Court of Law that you would without doubt be appearing in front of....
And then to your insurance company....
The reference to brake failure / driving on ice is in relation to a sudden vehicle defect causing brake failure / sudden changes in weather conditions, not the blatant disregard for your and anyone elses' safety by driving a completely dangerous and unroadworthy vehicle knowing the defect is present.
The efficiency of a vehicles handbrake always used to be 16% to pass an MOT test, and although the figures may be a little different for today's vehicles, this minimum efficiency would do very little to stop the vehicle in the event of a sudden emergency.
But then, we all know you are only trying to wind us up about your total disregard for road safety - seriously, aren't you?
But frighteningly, maybe you're not.....
