The brake pedal suddenly stops slowing the vehicle. What should the driver try first?
Correct answer: Pump the brake pedal several times to build pressure.
Why
Pumping may restore brake pressure. If it does not, apply the parking brake gradually and release it if the wheels skid. If braking still fails, use lower gears and steer to a safe stopping place off the road. Do not continue driving with failed brakes.
