What to Do When the Brakes Fail While Driving?

[MadelynLee]

When the brakes fail while driving, the solution is: the driver should control the direction according to the road conditions and speed, shift from a high gear to a low gear, and simultaneously press the accelerator pedal once. This will create significant traction resistance from the engine, rapidly reducing the vehicle's speed. Additionally, while shifting to a low gear, the handbrake should be used in combination. However, it is important to note that the handbrake should not be applied too tightly or too slowly. Pulling it too tightly may cause the brake disc to lock up, while pulling it too slowly may result in wear and overheating of the brake disc, leading to loss of braking effectiveness. Furthermore, the vehicle's rigid parts, such as the bumper or body, can be used to rub or collide with natural obstacles on the roadside to force a stop and escape danger, thereby minimizing accident losses as much as possible.
