Nice advice.

Unfortunately English spelling makes no sense. It should be "brakes" not "breaks."

Break means either to separate into pieces. A vase breaks if it falls on the floor. Or it means a short pause such as a coffee break.

So, I guess if your brakes fail while on a coffee break with a ming vase in your car. The vase will break and you will be broke.

Don't worry about the spelling though. English was never meant to make any sense.
