And at any time.
Cutting someone's brake lines is all or nothing and can't be done while the vehicle is already in motion. Anyone who is not an idiot will hopefully notice as soon as they start driving that there's something wrong with the brakes. But you could brick somebody's car remotely and without warning while they're taking a curve on the interstate at 80 MPH, and that'd be a lot more problematic.
In reality, few to no people outside of novels and Hollywood have actually been killed by some malefactor "cutting their brake lines."
