Reading one of SWMBO's crime novels.

The victim is murdered by cutting a car brake line.
Though it was a pre dual circuit car I reckon I would know the instant I
wnet to start the engine there was a fault as I always put my foot on the
brake. Even without that, there are few circumstance wher nor having
a foot
brake would kill you.
I can't think of a single way to sabotage a car to guarantee death
short of
explosives.

Stupid plot. These authors must be like journalists, thick as ****.



I idly wondered whether crimping a brake line would work, because the
pedal would still feel "right" but I guess the pressure would just open
it back up anyway.

Not if you were to use a decent locking clamp as sold for the purposes
of bleeding brakes on a flexible hose, it wouldn't.
