When you step on brake pedal in your car, the braking system ends with the use of fluid sends a great amount of power from the root into brakes. And this stopping force is much more powerful than the power that moves your vehicle so the vehicle stops.

There are two major types of brakes that are in use these days. The first one is so called drum brakes - in that system two semi-circular shoes are used, they press outward against the inner surfaces of a steel drum and thus stopping the car. The other type is disk brakes. Older vehicle have drum brakes on both front and rear wheels while today's vehicles have both of these types of brakes on them (front brakes of the dist type and the drum brakes on the rear wheels). Most of the modern cars have disc brakes on all their wheels.
