Winter ready 37 www.aftermarketonline.net OCTOBER 2025 Seasonal safety checklist from Juratek Frasle Mobility group brand Juratek is urging garages to make brake safety a priority this coming winter. According to the Highway Code, a car travelling at 70mph requires up to 96 metres (315 ft), or 24 car lengths, to stop in ideal conditions. This distance takes into consideration both the driver thinking distance and actual braking distance. However, Juratek said the Transport Research Laboratory found that average driver reaction times are more than double Highway Code estimates, which pushes stopping distances even further. Add in worn braking components or adverse road and weather conditions and they increase even more. This is why Juratek is reminding garages that safe braking is not just about driver reactions, it’s also about the quality of braking components used. Juratek also recommends a winter brake service should include pad wear inspection, disc checks, caliper servicing and brake fluid replacement. Preventative checks allow technicians to recommend timely component replacement, helping avoid breakdowns and positioning the garage as a trusted advisor. Matt Leeming, head of product management for Frasle Mobility in the UK, said: “With Juratek brake pads, garages can be confident that they’re offering drivers both safety and peace of mind by ensuring vehicles perform when it matters most.” Visit www.juratek.com/car-braking for full braking range details.
