Don't get all soft and squidgy.
Let us check your brake fluid.
Did you know?
- Brake fluid is a vital part to your safety as any of the other parts in your braking system.
- Over time brake fluid absorbs moisture which will lower its boiling point.
- With a lower boiling point, inefficiencies will creep into your braking system which could eventually cause your brakes to fail altogether.
- If your vehicle does not have safe brakes you can be fined £5,000 in the Magistrates Court, more in the Crown Court and in the event of a fatal accident you could even face imprisonment.
- Saying that you thought you had maintained the braking system by servicing your vehicle at the appropriate service intervals is not an acceptable defence.
- Brake fluid absorbs air and moisture over time resulting in inefficient braking and eventually brake failure.
- With the introduction of Corporate Manslaughter, Corporate Homicide and Health and Safety Legislation your duty of care to your employees and others could cost you 10% of your average annual turnover or more if there are aggravating factors.
- Mercedes-Benz recommends that the brake fluid in your vehicle be renewed at least every two years.
