When your front brakes lock, the wheel stops turning while the vehicle continues to move forward, which can lead to loss of steering control and potentially cause a skid. This is often due to excessive braking force applied suddenly, especially on slippery surfaces. To regain control, the driver should ease off the brake pedal to allow the wheel to start turning again. In some vehicles, anti-lock braking systems (ABS) can help prevent this by modulating brake pressure.
What else can I help you with?

Check the pistons inside the calipers, usually they are the reason brakes lock up.
Why wont the front brakes release on my 1978 Jeep cj5?
you had better check that out thoroughly, it isn't normal for that to happen. Front and rears should be drum brakes, and theres really no valve to malfunction. My first thought is that the cylinders have overextended and cocked sideways locking the shoes against the drum, this could happen if the shoes were extremely worn out, or the assembly was put together wrong. Second thing to check isn't even the brakes, your front axle may be locked. The next time the front brakes are locked up, open one of the brake bleeders up front. If the pressure releases you have a restriction in the hydraulic system such as a pinched brake line or a collapsed brake hose. If you open the front bleeders and the front brakes are still locked up and they are disc brakes, you may have stuck/frozen brake calipers or stuck caliper slide pins.

Do rear brakes wear faster than front brakes?
No, rear brakes do not typically wear faster than front brakes. In most vehicles, front brakes wear out faster due to the weight transfer during braking, which puts more stress on the front brakes.
Car drives like the hand brake is on?
It might be true. Even if the handle is down, the cable might have frozen (rusted) in the on position. Also check for jammed calipers, the last time this happened to me I had both front brakes locked. Check the temperature of your brakes frequently (if they're locked, the whole metal wheel gets hot.).
