I have been driving for 40+ years, too many miles on drum brakes to count. I have never had anything happen that disc brakes would have somehow solved. That black rubber thing that is on the floor under the steering column that activates the brakes and the long black rubber thing that adjusts your speed mean a LOT more than the brake pads or shoes do.
I have to ask, what happened 40 or so years ago that changed everything? 40 years ago about 95% of the cars on the road were drum, it wasn't that many years before, 1970 or so where about 99.9% of the cars were drum. How did we survive?
There must have been crashes on every street every day.
Nope, there weren't, how in the hell did we survive.
