Jenny's Crazy Road

When driving from Twizel NZ to Queenstown NZ, we took a crazy road through a mountain range that led into Queenstown. This road was nuts, tons of switch backs with one side rock face and the other side a huge drop. Jenny was driving part of this road and we noticed about 3/4 of the way down the insanely steep hill that there were signs saying "Check Your Brakes." Why now? Why when we have made it this far should we worry about our brakes. Wouldn't it be pretty clear at this point if our brakes weren't the best?

Here's a shot from the high point of the road before we started the straight drop down.

I was told this was because the brakes overheat after lots of use. I still don't understand how testing them is going to help me. I will still die horribly.
