Question 3Control of Vehicle

Whilst driving, why might a driver suspect that the brake fluid level in their vehicle is low?

The brakes take longer than usual to release.
The brakes feel spongy and soft.
The brakes feel hard to press.
The brakes are unusually sharp.

Explanation: If the brake pedal feels soft or spongy when pressed, it could indicate that the brake fluid level is low and there is a fault in the system. Each time a driver sets out on a journey, they should test the brakes. If a fault is detected, have it checked by a competent person. Drivers should check brake fluid levels regularly.
