What is the correct procedure when experiencing brake failure?

[SebastianLynn]

The correct procedure when experiencing brake failure: 1. Use the handbrake appropriately to control the vehicle. When pulling the handbrake, be careful not to pull it all the way or too quickly, as this may damage the handbrake or cause it to fail. Instead, apply gradual force and slowly pull the handbrake to its full extent. 2. Downshift appropriately to control the speed. Slow down the vehicle and then use the handbrake in combination to bring the car to a gradual stop. 3. Look for an emergency escape lane. If neither the handbrake nor forced downshifting works, honk loudly to alert vehicles ahead to make way and promptly find a suitable section of the road to decelerate, such as an uphill slope or an emergency escape lane set up on highways or continuous downhill sections.
