You will immediately know if the pipe breaks, you'll lose (almost) all braking and the warning light will appear on the dash when the fluid level drops.
Damn, I was pretty sure this would be the answer but had to be sure. Was all too good to be true. Little bit frustrating if it is a cover up that people are willing to put someone at risk for a couple of hundred quid rather than making you aware. Suppose that's just how the world works!
