What is the correct approach when a large passenger bus experiences brake failure and loses control?

[DeArabella]

When a large passenger bus experiences brake failure and loses control, the correct approach is to steer into an emergency escape lane, use engine braking, apply the parking brake, and if necessary, use the vehicle body to scrape against roadside obstacles to slow down. Quickly use the handbrake and shift to a lower gear, maintain control of the steering wheel, promptly avoid obstacles, and drive the vehicle to a safer location. Below are precautions for driving on highways: 1. Drive in the designated lane: Highways have clearly marked lanes for large vehicles, small vehicles, etc. When overtaking, once you occupy a lane, return to your appropriate lane promptly after completing the overtaking maneuver, and avoid occupying other lanes for extended periods. Additionally, emergency lanes should not be occupied unless for special reasons. 2. Maintain a safe speed and avoid speeding: The dangers of speeding are well-known, as it can lead to irreversible consequences both on local roads and highways. 3. Maintain a safe following distance: Under normal conditions, on dry roads with good braking, the following distance (in meters) should not be less than the speed (in km/h). For example, at 80 km/h, the distance should be no less than 80 meters; at 100 km/h, no less than 100 meters. Always pay attention to roadside distance markers. In rainy, foggy, snowy, or wet road conditions, the following distance should be doubled. 4. Observe traffic signs: Always be aware of roadside and overhead signs and markings while driving, and stay slightly to the right to avoid running over the right lane divider, allowing sufficient lateral distance for overtaking vehicles. 5. Do not arbitrarily occupy emergency lanes during accidents: Traffic incidents are inevitable on highways. If other vehicles cause an accident leading to lane blockage, do not occupy the emergency lane, as this may hinder rescue vehicles from performing their duties. 6. Avoid fatigued driving and take timely breaks: Fatigued driving is extremely dangerous on highways. When fatigued, a driver's reaction time slows, making it difficult to respond appropriately to sudden situations.
