What if the brakes on your car does? The number one rule as stated by professional race drivers, "Do not panic!" That’s easy for them to say, who are accustomed to driving in dangerous situations. Most of us are not.
Unfortunately for the rest of us, the panic is our natural response when we touch brake pedal of our car just to make the pedal body on the ground helplessly. The good news is that most of the failures of brakes can always be treated as driver controls his panic and follow these rules.
1. Fighting panic and continue to lead his vehicle. You’ve taken your foot off the accelerator and the car starts to decrease (if on flat ground). SSL definitive as slows.
2. Turn on your emergency flashers (if you can actually remember where the button is flashing his car). Or use your car’s directional signs to alert drivers behind you that he pulls to the right or left.
3. Try to pump the brake pedal up and down, probably because his car is the braking on the left. If you have antilock brakes, press the brake pedal to the floor, and wait. Pumping is not recommended for ABS.
4. If you are going downhill and the brakes fail, select a lower gear. A lower speed will help your car in a slowdown. A lower speed is of great help to stop his vehicle out of control on flat ground, too.
5. To use the emergency brakes of his car, but do this slowly while holding the shutter button. And this only as a last resort, because the action could cause wheels of your car is locked and his car to drift out of control. If this happens, release the emergency brake immediately and continue at the helm.
6. Pull your car into reverse. This, too, is recommended only as a last resort, since doing so can seriously damage your car transmission.
7. Find a safe place to pull off the road. In the mountain roads, you can find an "escape ramp" side road. Use this!
8. Once he addressed his car on the shoulder or side street, the change in neutral and the parking brake. This should bring your car to a stop.
9. During city driving, driving his car near a sidewalk will help stop the car, too. But that only when his car suffered a significant slowdown.
10. When all else fails, and the situation seems hopeless, we must find something to hit, something soft and flexible like a mud bank or a group of low shrubs. Resistance and help reduce heavy gravel and take your car to a stop, too.
Some people suggest hitting a vehicle ahead of you, this is not wiser. And it is very dangerous. Stay away from all traffic from others and find a safer barrier to stop his vehicle as a low shrub or a small hill.
Experiencing brake failure can cause a terrible and lasting fear of driving, but deal with the fear and return to flying as soon as possible.
Once you have had the brakes on his car fixed, of course.
