Driving with worn-out brake pads is extremely dangerous. The risks include:

Reduced braking power: Worn brake pads can significantly reduce the cars ability to stop, increasing the risk of accidents.
Brake rotor damage: If the pads wear down to the metal, they can damage the brake rotors, leading to more expensive repairs.
Increased stopping distances: With worn pads, the car will need more time and distance to stop, which can be problematic in emergency situations.
Complete brake failure: In extreme cases, if the pads are ignored for too long, it can lead to brake system failure, resulting in a total loss of braking power.
