NATIONAL SAFETY COUNCIL RECOMMENDS
THE FOLLOWING MEASURES FOR DRIVERS.
1. Downshift immediately
Putting the car in a lower gear allows the engine
to slow the car, and may give you enough time
to be able to safely pull over. Whether you're
driving an automatic or a manual, try to
downshift smoothly through the gears. If you
downshift too quickly, you risk a skid. Do not
shut off the car to stop it, as you'll lose your
power steering, and do not put the car in neutral
or you will lose the engine braking effect.

2. Try the emergency brake, but don't depend on
it to stop you
If you're driving a car with a good, strong
emergency brake, go ahead and use it. In cars
with manual transmissions, the emergency brake
is often operated via a hand-activated lever
located behind the shifter, while in many
automatics you use a small pedal located on the
far left of the driver. It helps to try your
emergency brake out at slow speeds to see how
much stopping power it really has.

3. Work your vehicle into the right lane as soon
as you can
Move toward the right shoulder of the road, or, if
possible, toward an exit. If it is necessary to
change lanes, do so smoothly and carefully,
watching your mirrors and the traffic around you
closely.


4. Stay off the gas pedal
Perhaps this goes without saying, but do not
touch the gas pedal. Your goal, right now, is to
slow down, pull over and safely stop.

I love transformation

Front page worthy!

Tired of em pics!!!

The guy after the lady above me just returned from yaba, but I don't know how he confused them that they allow him to leave the bed,all this can only happen during GEJ administration, where mentally ill people burst into the street..

The first step for me is

DO NOT PANIC

Once you panic or go hysterical be sure to expect thumping on the gas pedal thinking its break.


Stay calm and take control of the situation

Thanks OP

5. Be shouting at the top of ur voice 'no brake ooo',... 'no brake ooo',...

Thanks for the info. Downshifting too fast could be very dangerous. I've been guilty of doing it a couple of times...and every single time, the car screeched...and passers-by turned in fear. Them no wan die...lol

Don't try to downshift the transmission on automatic when vehicle is on motion. U will end up damaging the gear train. Don't even think of the emergency brake. Applying the rear brakes without the front brakes will skid ur vehicle over.

Shout Blood of Jesus and let the Lord take control

First thing tomorrow morning.....need some practice. #offpointbutonpont I need a call centre/customer service job

remmer56:
an in an automatic car, how do you downshift?

In an automatic car u will see D2, D3, move d gear to any of dem especially D3 den D2 in an interval of 4seconds respectively.

nice...must of us make this mistakes

put on double pointer or na danger light too

Wetin concern me, we are talking about fuel, they are talking about break, does that relates?
