How to Deal with Brake Failure?

[LaRhett]

Turn on the hazard lights and try to step on the brake pedal while using the low gear to drag the engine at high RPM for braking, continuously downshifting. If necessary, use roadside guardrails, trees, rocks, or mounds, controlling the contact angle to increase friction and achieve deceleration. Causes of brake failure include: 1. Lack of maintenance in the braking system. For example, excessive impurities in the brake master cylinder, poor sealing, failure of the vacuum booster pump, or dirty brake fluid; 2. Improper operation leading to mechanical failure. For instance, prolonged downhill driving can cause brake pads to overheat, brake drums to carbonize, and the braking function to completely fail; 3. Severe overloading. Under the influence of gravitational acceleration, the vehicle's inertia increases, directly leading to brake failure.
