00:06We usually don't give enough importance to brake fluid.

00:23Ascal's law governs hydraulic brakes used on modern cars.
00:26Such kind of braking systems essentially relies on a special kind of hydraulic fluid.
00:34That essentially transmits force applied on brake pedals to brake pads.
00:39If there's not enough amount of fluid, the braking system will malfunction.
