Otimo’s (@weareotimo) TikTok video begins with overlay text: “The hardest question in your driving test.”
The clip’s driving instructor said: “You’re going to get a tell-me question from your examiner.
“And the hardest tell-me question is ‘tell me how you would check your brakes are working.’”
This road coach noted that you should begin answering this question by checking your brakes before turning on the car and shifting out of park.
Next, drivers with their vehicles in park should press down on their brake pedal to verify that the component doesn’t feel spongy or slack.
Air in brake lines is the most common cause of spongy-feeling brakes and can stop brake fluid from flowing correctly, according to Wagner Brake.
A partial or complete brake fluid change is the best solution for fixing brake lines with air.
Additional causes of spongy brakes include damaged brake lines, leaking disc brake calipers, a worn master cylinder, leaking wheel cylinders, or a misaligned rear brake drum.
Lastly, this professional driving instructor said you should verify that your car doesn’t pull to one side while you brake during driving.
Typical explanations for a car drifting to one side while braking are contaminated brake linings, uneven brake wear, brake fluid leak, a frozen piston, or faulty tires, according to AxleAddict.
