The International Car Break Company has designed a break auto-wear indicator system to help limit accidents associated with drivers not knowing the strength of their brake systems. This product would work similar to the fuel indicator though its uses brightly colored material instead of a scale of figures. The suitability of the product is attributed to the fact that there is no need for modifications of vehicles, no noise makers, and no indicator lights. It’s a simple, cost effective, reliable, and safe system for showing the strength of car brake system.
