Representative Image Accidents can happen at any unexpected time while you are driving. Drivers naturally panic when the brakes suddenly stop working while driving. Today, we will know some things that will help you control the vehicle easily in case of brake failure. You will get some signs before the brakes actually stop working. You'll notice brake pads will start making noise. Sometimes the brake calipers start jamming. Suddenly the brake wire breaks or the master cylinder leaks and the brakes do not get the required pressure. Brake fuel leakage also indicates brake failure. How to control a car when brake fails
- First of all, control the speed of the car by slowing it down. Try applying strong, consistent pressure to the brake pedal.
- By doing this several times, the brakes get the right pressure and they may start working again.
- If your car is running in top gear, then downshift into a lower gear as it slows down.
- It is very important that you don't panic. Don't shift to first gear from the fifth right away.
- Don't bring the gear into neutral when your car is still at a high speed. The car will skid out of control if you do this.
- Do not put the car in reverse gear even by mistake, it is likely to cause an accident with the vehicle coming from behind.
- Just use the clutch, don't use the accelerator at all.
- If you are in traffic somewhere, signal others with horns, hazard lights, indicators and headlamps-dippers. This will reduce the risk of any accident.
- According to experts, in such a situation, turn on the air condition of the vehicle. This will increase the pressure on the engine and reduce the speed slightly.
- Experts also suggest that lighting the headlights, hazard lights will reduce the power supply of the battery and slow down the car.
- If there is sand or mud nearby, control the steering wheel and drive the vehicle over the sand or gravel. This will significantly reduce the speed of the car.
- Use the handbrake properly by slightly applying them while changing gears.
- When the car is in first gear and the speed is around 40 kmph, you can apply the handbrake to control the speed.
- Do not apply the handbrake suddenly at high speed as this can lock the rear wheels and the risk of overturning the car increases.
