WHAT WOULD YOU DO WHEN YOUR CAR BRAKE FAILS WHILE TRAVELING OR JOURNEYING?

in #cars7 years ago

You step on the brake and it's useless on the floor. The experience is a terrifying one I suppose.

The first thing that comes to mind is to pump the brake pedal for a possible resistance. You may be lucky to work up some pressure enough to help somehow. But when there isn't any pressure and the roadway is clear ahead, use the parking brake. To slow down faster, you can shift the gear into a lower forward position and allow the engine compression help out.

If it occurs on a hill, mountain terrain or down a flyover, a sideswipe on something like roadside brush, embarkments, guarded railings, or parked cards would help savage the situation.

The use of horn, hazard lights should be employed as well to serve as a warning signal to other road users.

Brake fluids and pedal checks should always be carried out before embarking on any journey.
