Question about front brake pads

The mechanic at the dealership told me that my front pads have approx 25% left. How much further can I drive before they wear out completely and cause damage?

Thanks

Depends on how hard you ride the brakes. I would say 25% would last less then 2 months of normal driving before you hear the wear indicator.

So 25% for 2 months X 4 = 100% for 8 months?

I think you've got lots of life left...
