equipment failure is no excuse. You're supposed to keep your vehicle well maintained. That means having it checked if you're not savvy enough to check it yourself. brake lines don't just spontaneously combust. I also call TOTAL bullshit on this total brake failure due to a busted line theory. Brake systems are designed as a double backup system. The front right wheel and the rear left wheel are connected, and vice versa. So if the line to the front right wheel blows, you lose brakes on the front right wheel and the rear left wheel. The brakes on the front left wheel and the rear right wheel still work and will stop the car.
And if it's a brake line that broke, why didn't Genius pull the E-brake? Or downshift? Or slam it in park? (oh, and "I didn't KNOW to do that" is no excuse. Either know how to drive including handling emergencies like that, or stay home.)
Bottom line, it's the other guy's fault.
