Two weeks ago I got in my car and drove down to the intersection at the end of my street. When I hit the brake pedal, nothing happened other than the sudden appearance of three dashboard warning lights about brake failure. The car would not stop and continued into the intersection. Before calamity struck, I managed to pull up the parking brake and turn the car into the curb, stopping it.
