What are the measures to take when brake failure occurs?

[OAmy]

When brake failure occurs, the measures to take are: 1. Stay calm and do not panic; 2. Utilize engine braking to slow down in time. If the brake pedal fails, you can also reduce speed by downshifting and lowering the engine RPM; 3. Keep a firm grip on the steering wheel. When the vehicle's brakes fail, hold the steering wheel steady without swerving left and right, keep the vehicle straight, and try to drive in the middle of the road; 4. Turn on the hazard warning lights immediately to alert other vehicles that your car has a malfunction; 5. In addition to turning on the hazard warning lights, alternately switch between high and low beams. The intense flashing lights will signal vehicles ahead to move aside, especially when going around curves; 6. Once the vehicle speed is reduced using engine braking, pull the handbrake tightly. The friction from the handbrake on the rear wheels can also help slow down the vehicle, and then look for a soft obstacle to stop the car.
