- NNNelson4 days ago1.0On January 1st, I went to buy a battery for my truck. The guy who helped me asked for my first and last name, so I gave him my driver’s license because my last name is hard to pronounce. He never gave my ID back, and I didn’t realize I had left it there until about a week later. After a week, I went back to the store to get my ID. The manager helped me, but at first he refused to give it back. He said that the employee I gave my ID to claimed that I had borrowed a tool and left my ID as a guarantee, which never happened. After arguing and asking for video proof, he finally gave me my driver’s license back What I think happened is that the cashier used my ID that I forgot there so he could take a tool home for free.

HOW DO BRAKES WORK?
Expand FAQ item
Brakes work by using friction to turn kinetic energy into heat. There are two designs: drum brakes (older), and disc brakes (newer). Both use hydraulic pressure to move a piston outward. In disc brakes, the piston is located inside a caliper that houses brake pads and fits over the rotor. The friction lining on the pads makes contact with the rotor to slow the vehicle. In drum brakes, the piston moves two curved shoes lined with friction material against the inside of the brake drum.
