How to Handle Brake Failure
1 Answers
Encountering brake failure can be addressed with the following steps: 1. Focus your attention on the road conditions ahead, being mindful of vehicles, pedestrians, and obstacles in front of you. 2. Pump the brake pedal repeatedly to help restore pressure in the braking system, which may allow your brakes to function normally again. 3. Shift the car into a lower gear first, and once the speed has decreased slightly, shift into an even lower gear. 4. Use the parking brake to slow down, though this deceleration will be much slower than under normal circumstances. 5. Utilize available environmental obstacles to bring the car to a stop.
