Alrighty then...I misundersood. Not an uncommon thing for me.
My military service ingrained in me a near-religious fear of open road failure. I perform PMI's (Periodic Maintenance Inspection) on my little fleet of vehicles every 2-3 weeks. Lights, fluids, brakes and tires. I don't keep records like the olden days, but I do keep track of basic vehicle condition. And I can't imagine a more basic function than brakes.
I think if my brakes failed through neglect, I would be more concerned with my liability (going through a shop window, or running over granny) than with why there aren't sensors on all 4 front pads. Never trust your instrumentation. Bend over and look!
Sorry. A bit of a rant.
