What does "brakes hot" result in?

  1. Brake failure

  2. Brake wear

  3. Brake fade

  4. Brake overheating

The correct answer is: Brake fade

"Brakes hot" does not necessarily result in brake failure (option A) or brake wear (option B). Brake fade (option C) is the loss of braking power due to overheating of the brake system. This is a common occurrence in high performance or heavy vehicles when the brakes are continuously used for extended periods of time. Brake overheating (option D) is similar to brake fade but typically occurs due to prolonged and excessive use of the brakes, resulting in reduced braking performance. Therefore, both brake fade and brake overheating are more accurate descriptions of what "brakes hot" results in compared to brake failure (which is a more extreme outcome) or brake wear (which may not occur immediately).
