If the brake light in your car is not working then you really need to worry. How will let the other vehicle owners know that you are pressing the brake lights? As per the traffic rules, you need to use the brake lights whenever you are slowing down the car. If these lights are not working then you are violating a traffic rule and you simply cannot do that. The risk involved is too much – both for you and your car as well as the other vehicles on the road. During daytime, it might not be that much of an issue but during night, it can pose to be a huge problem. The chances of ending up in an accident are way higher in such scenarios. We suggest that you should get the new brake light bulbs without any second thoughts.
The moment you notice that the existing brake light bulbs are not working, you should rush to the car mechanic immediately. Ask him to check the car thoroughly so as to make sure that nothing else needs to be fixed. Once the brake light bulb is replaced with a new one, you are good to go. Replacing the damaged bulbs will hardly take few minutes. Hence, there is no point in delaying it. Your car brakes, accelerator, steering wheel, horn, side mirrors and the seat belt should always be in good condition and should be functioning as well. If any one of these is out of order you should get it fixed ASAP.
