Car Brakes Fail? Essential Tricks to Stay Safe on the Road!

• Brake failure can be caused by poor brake oil performance, leaks, worn pads, or overheating (brake fade).
• If brakes fail, stay calm, turn on hazard lights, and honk to alert others.
• Gradually downshift to lower gears (engine braking) to slow down the vehicle.
• Pump the brake pedal repeatedly to build pressure, and use the handbrake cautiously at lower speeds.
• Steer onto sand, dirt, or grass to use friction for slowing down the car.
