On my Sunday drive I had occasion to lock up the brakes. A person in the on 
coming lane was in a hurry to turn left and since I wasn't tailgating it must 
have appeared there was enough of a gap to shoot.  For anyone from Connecticut, 
I was on RT-25 southbound at RT-136, in Stepney. Nuff said.    

The rear wheels locked and the fronts didn't. The brake booster on my BJ8 isn't 
working, so the brakes are functional but hard.  I'm figuring the lack of a 
functional booster isn't a factor.   

Is this locking typical or do I have work to do?
