Can the car still be driven if the rear brake pads are completely worn out?

It is not safe to drive when the brake pads are completely worn out, and continuing to drive under such conditions is highly dangerous. Once the brake pads are worn out, every time you press the brake pedal, it can potentially damage the brake discs. Here are some additional details: Inspection: It is recommended that drivers regularly check the thickness of their brake pads and the condition of the brake discs during routine maintenance. If the brake pads are too thin, they should be replaced immediately. Generally, the front brake pads wear out faster than the rear ones. Brake fluid also requires frequent checks, as it is highly prone to absorbing moisture. If the moisture content in the brake fluid reaches 3%, it is advisable to replace the brake fluid immediately. It is recommended to measure the moisture content of the brake fluid during every maintenance session. Best to visit a 4S shop: If you live in a particularly humid area, the brake fluid is more likely to absorb moisture and deteriorate. When replacing the brake fluid, it is best to go to a 4S shop, as some small repair shops may not properly bleed the air from the brake system, which can reduce braking force, increase stopping distances, and compromise driving safety. When purchasing brake pads, it is also advisable to buy them from a 4S shop, as some repair shops may sell counterfeit or substandard products. If the original brake pads do not provide sufficient braking force, you can opt for higher-quality brake pads to significantly improve braking performance.
