Why do you think you brakes have locked up?

My car's back brakes leaked a lot last year- and then when I finally took it to the mechanic he asked me how in the hell I was driving my car and that I was lucky I didnt get into an accident. Soon enough you wont be able to stop if you dont get that fixed.
