Question 1

Why are my brakes grinding when I stop?

Accepted Answer

The most common cause is brake pads that have worn completely through, leaving bare metal pressing against your disc. This metal-on-metal contact causes the grinding sound and will rapidly destroy your discs if not addressed. Other causes include a seized calliper, a stone lodged between the pad and disc, or a corroded disc surface after the car has been left standing.

Question 2

Is it safe to drive with grinding brakes in North London?

Accepted Answer

No. Grinding brakes are a serious safety issue. If your pads have worn metal-to-metal, your stopping distance increases dramatically and your discs are being destroyed with every application of the brake pedal. You should stop driving and get the vehicle inspected as soon as possible.
