Stay calm and turn on the double flash
Especially when driving at high speeds, remember to scramble. First calm your mood, then open the double flash, warning the vehicle next to you away from yourself, while constantly trying to step on the brake (even if the failure situation), it is likely to be due to the brake fluid problem or other problems caused temporary failure, and even if the feeling of killing the car failure, in fact, the braking force did not all disappear.
Engine braking
Many old drivers should know that when the brake is not good, the use of low-gear anti-drag engine high speed to brake, automatic transmission is the same, and constantly reduce the gear to brake. If the speed is very fast, due to the protective effect of the vehicle on the gearbox, it is likely to be unable to hang up the low gear and can only use other methods.
Use the hand brake with caution
When the brake fails, the use of the handbrake can save lives, so be careful.
The parking system directly linked with the handbrake is not the brake system, which can only be used as a last resort, and when the speed is faster, the handbrake will appear to lock the rear wheel, resulting in the vehicle losing control and turning over. However, if it is an electronic hand brake type, the overall will be better (or cautious), because the electronic hand brake will also be equipped with dynamic emergency braking function, which can be used to press the brake at low speed, and the ESP will brake the wheel.
Avoid flame-out
Once the vehicle is turned off, it will lead to the disappearance of brake power, etc., and the braking force will become worse, at the same time, the steering power will also disappear, and the direction is not easy to control.
Find an escape lane
On many highways, we have seen escape lanes, which are prepared for such situations as brake failure. Of course, the safe lane is a matter of luck, not just because you want it to appear.
In the case of the above methods, as a last resort, you can only use your own body to rub against barriers such as guardrail, in order to carry out forced deceleration.
