Over 12 years ago I had a 1964 Bentley S3 & a long journey 20 miles done & 380 to go. I braked for a car turning out in front & the pedal went to the floor. Checked as best I could & seemed pedal broken. Nearly all my journey was dual carriageway or motorway so I carried on at 50 mph with everything passing me trusting to the hand brake. Made it home fine but never again. Pedal cross shaft had sheared & a second-hand one fixed it.
