When the brakes in a car are applied what does the piston in the caliper do to the pads?
The piston is forced out of the caliper by the pressure of the brake fluid. This pushes the brake pads against the rotor, in turn stopping the vehicle.

every vehicle must have brake lights to indicate that the vehicle is stopping. with no brake lights the vehicle can cause a rear end collision.
Why does the car lose brake pressure when the car turns on?
Your car could be losing brake pressure because you have a bad ABS control module. It also could be a bad brake booster.

More than likely a front or rear brake rotor is out of round. Depending on what model and year vehicle it could be a brake drum out of round also.
If you are driving a vehicle with anti lock brake system and the vehicle starts to skid what should you do?

What does a brake pad normally get used for?
A brake pad is part of the brake system used in machines such as vehicles. The brake pad has a rough surface which converts kinetic energy that causes motion into thermal energy, thus stopping the vehicle.
Why do you need front brakes?
The front brakes on any vehicle do most of the stopping. When you apply the brakes the weight shifts to the front of the vehicle. For this reason the front brakes are needed more than the rear. Try stopping a vehicle with just the hand brake which applies only the rear brakes.
What happens when you step on the brakes?
In a manual brake system, the pressure from your foot increases the pressure in the brake lines and in the brake cylinders. The clyinders expand and press the brake pad or shoe against the brake friction surface (a drum or a rotor) increasing the friction and causing the wheels to stop or slow. In a power brake system, your foot pressure is enhanced by the power assist on the master cylinder to make stopping easier.
What does a brake drum do for my car?
A brake drum is really important and is the main mechanism that is used when you press the brake. Basically, it stops the vehicle by pressing a giant board against the wheel, causing fiction and stopping the car.
Why While driving the vehicle pulls to the right?

You have warped the brake rotors. Driving fast & hard stopping or riding the brake will cause this when the rotor is hot and you are stopped with heavy pressure on the brake pedal. Replace rotors and pads.
