Just pay the ticket, OP. If you'd had proper maintenance you'd never have had a problem to begin with. Sure, you can go to court and show them you had the brakes repaired, but you're just going to end up paying a different fine because in doing that you've flat out told them you were operating the vehicle with faulty equipment.
You can't always tell your breaks are going. You can have a break line rupture with no warning. I'd say it depends on what happened, because if the breaks had been bad for some time it probably was evident to the repair shop and she could get a different fine, but if it was a rupture while everything was maintained the shop could probably attest to that as well, which she *shouldn't* be penalized for.
i agree with #83 and #86
SURELY, you can find the humor in this. Be thankful you got thru this safe and sound. Frame the picture. Laugh.
lol wow
YDI for not maintaining your car.
E Brake?
welcome to Australia, where you just come back from the rim of death, just to be fined.

Fight the ticket in court, I'm sure you'll get it overturned or at least lessened.
I get it. OP said that he was going down hill when his breaks went out, so he must've zoomed by a speed camera and it caught him in the moment of freaking out over it, aka "******** himself." Frankly, I laughed. But OP gets a FYL. Take it to court with records of your breaks being fixed (receipts, etc) and of course the ticket and picture. I'm sure the story would amuse the judge.
