Have you ever experienced break failure close to a busy Junction moving at a speed no less than 80Km/h where you definitely have less than 10 seconds to do something, let me no how you will be calm.

AutoReportNG2:
Has anyone experienced a brake failure before? Do you mind telling us your experience and how you scale through?

Y not just off the engine??

BandAid:



Ever heard of multiple fatal accidents arising from abrupt and indiscriminate stops? Your response here shows you have never driven a car!

Mckandre:
I've always thought abt this when I was little though twill seem like a beffiting choice but its not dont ever try it. Cars of nowadays comes with what is called power steering that helps to ease control of a vehicle,ones the engine goes numb that is if u remove the key from the ignition, the steering lockups entirely that is it becomes unbearablly stiff making maneuvering very difficult which will rather cause u harm than good.

yeah that is the only problem of switching off the engine.. but we r out of options here.. atleast the car slows down

Mckandre:
if it slows down,how do u dodge obstacle,ditches? mind u that the shear movement of the tires by when steering also contribute in slowing down speed. Best thing to do is to stop applying acceleration until gravity takes it place.

finestiyke:
Yes I have oh

My second day of driving all alone. On getting to maryland immediately after the traffic light I realize my brake is not sensitive,i was scared n I needed it that moment a danfo was turning ahead of me and the lane...

Mementoes:
Were you driving a honda?

Richy4:
It's only in Nigeria that I hear about brake failure....In most countries what we hear is driver loosing control of their cars due to one ailment or another.. eg Asthmatic attack, panic attack..etc...

Brake cannot just fail like that...People should learn how to service their cars as at when due..There are reasons why mechanics tells people the next service date for their cars.... if it can be followed religiously as they instructed... You will never hear of such thing as brake failure...when a driver will not service his or her car for 3-4 months but uses it daily, what are you gonna expect....

wizard007:



Oga its not measured by time oo, we can both be driving everyday and you'll need to service your car before mine, its all about the distance we cover, I can't be doing 6km to and fro everyday and you doing 20 and expect me to carry my car at the same time as yours and go an service.

Meanhwike even when you service your car, don't forget we are talking about a machine here, it can malfunction anytime so don't conclude that everyone that had a brake failure is negligent of the well being of their vehicle.

until gravity? thats a very long time esp with automatic cars ..trust me bad road is the least of ur problem wen ur brake fails.. the earlier the car slows down the better , at least if u hit anything the impact wont b much.. esp in straight highways, u can always start d engine once it's slow

Kjnwancaro:


You're not speaking like a wise driver. The OT is control your car to the last.

LEOSIRSIR:
it was a Peugeot 505 wagon very rugged, the brake sometimes you have to pump it twice before the brake can catch, was driving my family to church and the brake give way it went flat, started pumping till i hit a car parked on the road after slowly applying the hand brake, if i didnt use the hand brake the damages will be severe.

miketayo:


Control it till u ram something, or control into a gutter. do u knw how long it takes a car moving on just 40kmph to stop.. Priority is to slow it down
