How to Deal with Brake Failure in a Car?

[Pamela]

Solutions for car brake failure are as follows: 1. Use the handbrake to stop the car, but operate it properly and avoid pulling it abruptly; 2. For manual transmission vehicles, forced deceleration can also be employed to stop the car. First, appropriately lower the gear, release the accelerator, and use the engine cylinder compression to bring the car to a halt. Additional relevant information is as follows: 1. If the first two methods don't work, honk loudly while allowing vehicles or pedestrians ahead to take evasive action in time, especially on highways where it's essential to use the emergency lane. Prioritize personal safety and avoid secondary accidents. 2. If using the handbrake, pull it up slowly, avoiding a sudden full pull to prevent the car from rolling over at high speed. Once the speed drops below 40, the handbrake can be fully engaged. The same applies to electronic handbrakes—wait until the speed decreases sufficiently before activating them.
