They’re cooled by liquid flowing through it.

Maybe she was trying to prevent you from using the transmission to change direction instead of coming to a stop first with the brakes... puts more wear on the clutch packs.

‘Disabling your ABS by pulling the fuse will give you shorter braking distance.’

Can we do every decade? :D
