I get a noise like that, as if there is brake rubbing, Im going to get the bearings done soon, but i would like to know, that if they do go when im driving could it cause a crash, like put me off the road???

Mine went when I was driving along. Doing about 50 round a long bend, car went sideways. When I stopped the thing smoke was pouring out of my wheel. Drove it a little way then had to get it loaded onto a lorry. Wheel seized. Just hope it doesn't go on a motorway; apparently it can get messy

I thought i had warped discs because mine are squeaking quite badly at both front wheels and get worse as i turn bends.. But it stops when i'm braking..
After reading this, i'm hoping it is just warped discs and not bearings.. 
Booked in at local garage for a 'free brake and safety test' next Saturday so hope things don't go pear shaped this week!
