Brake fluids work to amplify the braking force and transfer force into pressure. This means that the force necessary to stop a car can be generated by simply pressing a pedal with your foot. However, if there is insufficient braking fluid, there won't be enough braking force generated, meaning the vehicle will be more difficult to stop. Therefore, to avoid accidents, braking fluid level should be maintained.
