The second sentence is very good.

The second sentence sounds better if you use "can't bear the thought"
"Can't stand the thought" makes it sound like the thought annoys you rather than scares you. That's how it seems to me, at least. :)

I think it will be better to say : I can't help thinking that what if my brakes didn't work.
