Weather Visibility EmergenciesStandalone practice
The brakes have failed while the wheels are straight and the road ahead is clear. What can help bring the vehicle to a controlled stop?
Car A is on a straight road. The card says its brakes have failed and the road ahead is clear.
Correct answer: Use the parking brake carefully and a lower gear
Why
If power assistance fails, press the brake pedal harder and hold steady pressure. If the brakes fail, use the parking brake carefully and a suitable lower gear to help reach a safe controlled stop. Follow the vehicle manual. Do not drive again until the brakes have been checked and repaired.
