Just as important as your car’s ability to get from point A to point B is your car’s ability to stop when you step on the brake pedal. Brakes pads are the reason your car is able to stop. When you press on the brake pedal, the brake pads apply friction against a metal disc or drum that halts the vehicle. Because of this friction, brake pads wear down over time. However, the amount of time it takes the pads to wear is dependent on how you drive. Someone who drives frequently through high-traffic areas may find that their brake pads wear down faster than someone who drives less frequently and/or in more rural areas.
