Pumping your brakes several times may rebuild enough pressure in the braking system for you to stop. This may take a while, so keep trying Then, regardless of whether the car has ABS brakes or not, quickly squeeze the brakes down to the floor to make the most out of all of the pressure you have preserved or built- up, as hydraulic (or air) brakes rarely fail all together. Keep the brakes squeezed to the floor. Shifting into lower gears helps slow you by using your engine to slow the car. If you have an automatic transmission, downshift a gear at a time into low range (generally labeled as “1” on the shifting mechanism). be careful not to downshift too Again, if you can’t go directly into the lowest range, try gradually shifting down Apply the brake slowly and steadily your emergency brake can lock your tire if applied too hard or too fast,especially at high speed. If you feel or hear your tires lock, release a small bit of pressure from the brake application and hold it there. It should be stated that if the tires do squeal slightly, it does not necessarily mean that they are indeed locked-up With a handlebar E-brake, one can initially apply it up to three clicks (to enable a controlled slow-down) and then apply an additional one or two extra clicks (to bring the car to a final halt). Warn other drivers and pedestrians. Turn your hazard lights on, and honk your horn to make others aware that there is a problem. (Be sure to know the location of the hazard light button prior to such a situation.) Open windows to allow air resistance to slow you down as well as enable you to shout to other passengers and drivers. If you have room on either side of you, steer sharply from side-to-side. Turning creates friction, which slows your car naturally. If you do not have brakes, try turning sharply from left to right over and over to slow your car down. Do not do this at high speeds . Turning at high speeds may flip your car and turning too sharply at any speed can spin your car around, so be careful. Use your surroundings to slow the vehicle Ideally, you could use a runaway truck ramp, but as these are not particularly common, you’ll probably have to improvise. Keep in mind, however, that these techniques can be very dangerous – especially at high speeds – and should only be used as last resorts Use terrain to your advantage. Try to seek out inclines that you can go up. If this does not bring your car to a stop, be prepared to do some reverse driving and/ or use the emergency brake at the appropriate time. Applying friction to the rubber on your wheels will slow the car considerably without harming other portions of your vehicle Driving through gravel or dirt (such as you might find right off the side of the road) can slow your vehicle considerably. Be very cautious when using this technique. Sudden terrain changes -- especially if only under the wheels on one side of the car -- can cause the car to flip, and may cause serious injury Approach to a graveled or grassy shoulder must be made progressively, smoothly and gently. Small trees and shrubbery will slow your vehicle when all else fails. Try to put your vehicle through the center of a line of shrubs or saplings, being careful not to pick a tree that is too heavy for your car to go through. Trees with trunks over 4 inches (116 mm) are considered dangerous to occupants of motor vehicles. Large trees can be fatal Hit the back of another car Try to strike a vehicle that is traveling at about the same speed as yours (hitting a slow-moving or parked car will stop you, but the deceleration will be quick and extreme) and attempt to make impact squarely on the back of the vehicle. Glancing blows will likely send both vehicles out of control. Be extremely careful not to hit too hard as your airbag may go off. look for a bushy protrusions or shrubs and run it through the friction will significantly reduce car speed to a halt. if there are no bushes go for grass, especially tall grass run the car through the tall grass and it will come to a halt. finally if there is none the last way is go for sand, sand is so unstable will definitely halt your car, especially wet sand.[Quote] God help us |

My own experiences I believe were solved by the grace of GOD. The most recent I was at 100km/h so I was approaching a junction and so many cars in front, thankGOD I usually apply my brakes from along distance then I noticed it wasn't catching, the speed wasn't reducing as expected. First of all I refused to panic, then left the brake to pump by lifting my foot gradually and then pressing the brake to the end, it reduced the speed buy I had a short distance b4 me so I moved to the lane closest to the Road divider my plan was to drive into it with one side of the car ,at least my speed wasn't too high but as GOD did it since I was very close, immediately I turned my steering, the tire on the driver's side scrubbed on the cement divider and the car screeched to a halt. No single scratch on my car. I was awed at the wonders of the Almighty. His angels are ever efficient. |
