THE CAR STORY!!!

I was innocently driving down the street namely Militery road and when I attempted to slow down for an upcoming intersection when to my utter dismay nothing happened. Now when I say nothing happened I mean that when my foot hit the brake and intern the brake hit the floor there was neither sound nor effect. Needless to say I was a bit concerned for the welfare of my life and the life of the passenger. So, the intersection was quickly approaching and the car wouldn't slow down I hit the exelarator to go through the intersection faster so as not to get hit and was now going approximately 40kph. I was trying to figure out what to do, and then it struck me down shift, so I down shifted and slowed to about 15kph, then I went up a slight hill to slow me down to 10kph. This is the point when it all came to me, if I don,t stop my car within the next 15ft I would go down a hill, a very big hill, from my point of view it was more like a mountain. So, I pulled the emergency brake and came to a screeching halt. I WAS ALIVE. I AM ALIVE.
