If your brakes fail, how can you stop your vehicle?

Correct answer

  • Gently hit the car in front of you.
  • Turn sharply right.
  • Sharply steer off the edge of the road.

Explanation

If your brakes fail, try pumping the brake pedal hard and fast. This may build up enough brake pressure to slow your vehicle. If this fails, shift into a lower gear to slow down and gently apply your parking brake ? but be ready to release it again if your vehicle starts to skid.
