Don’t worry at all
Often people get scared in such a situation. Due to which the situation can worsen and you can become a victim of an accident. So keep yourself completely calm when this happens and do not panic at all.
Turn on the parking lights
These lights are given only in case of an emergency. This gives a signal to the vehicle behind the vehicle that there is a problem with your vehicle. For this, first of all, make sure to turn on the parking lights.
Use gear
If the brakes stop working, then change the gear of the vehicle. Decreasing the gear reduces the speed of the car. This method works in both manual and automatic cars. Because manual settings are also given in most automatic cars. While changing gears, keep in mind that reduce the gears one by one. Simultaneous jumps in gear levels can cause problems with the engine.
Drive the car on the side of the road
In case of brake failure, immediately turn the vehicle from the middle of the road. Because driving such a car in the middle of the road can cause accidents along with you and other vehicles.
Use emergency handbrake
In such a situation it may be better to use the handbrake but do not forget to apply it slowly, otherwise the vehicle may slip on the road and you may get hurt a lot.
