The reason the brake pedal is hard to press and the car cannot start is due to a faulty brake light switch or brake light. Precautions when braking: 1. Gently press the brake pedal and adjust the braking force according to the speed of the vehicle in front; 2. If there is sufficient braking distance, press the brake pedal slowly and continuously to decelerate evenly. As the vehicle comes to a stop, gradually release the brake pedal until it is fully released when the vehicle is stationary; 3. When you notice the vehicle in front starts braking, place your foot on the brake pedal and apply steady pressure to decelerate smoothly until your speed matches that of the vehicle in front. Maintain the brake pedal position and adjust the braking force based on the speed changes of the vehicle in front; 4. In an emergency, press the brake pedal firmly to the floor until the danger is resolved.

Is There Compensation for Cars Submerged in Heavy Rain?

Cars submerged in heavy rain are eligible for compensation. 1. Explanation: Typically, auto insurance coverage for water damage includes rescue fees such as towing charges, as well as costs for repairing electronic components inside the vehicle, replacing engine oil, three filters, and labor fees for damages caused by heavy rain accidents.
