Disc brakes are actually preferred on vehicles because they cool more quickly then drum brakes, which allows them to be more effective at braking. However, many cars have rear drum brakes because they are cheaper and easier to replace, and as the rear brakes actually do not have much of an effect on overall braking, it is not necessary to have disc brakes.
