2020 my work requires you learn to ride Okada I still be learner. My new Okada never ready nah so my colleague give me one aprokah bike to be managing, decending down a hill, the brake flat pata pata, it was all this red soil.and rain had drenched it and super slippery, the rear wheels slipped, bike faced a gully by the side, I dropped both legs, braced for impact , front went in first, rear followed while still on the bike, slammed my right leg in the gully, okada crushed my leg against the road sha, i left the okada in the gully, limped home and told my workers to go get the okada. I was wearing safety sha reason I didn't break my legs or head.

Nah next day I know say something happened, felt pain for 2 weeks. Now I be mini expert, if brake fail for bike nah to jump off with my 2 left legs raised like Lui Kang no time and I don't speed pass 100km now on Okada

If your disk assembly is shaking or not well tightened to the arms of your car steering then your Brake will fail after going through a bad patch of road or speed bump. My Benz has brake oil pressure warning light besides it also has an oil pressure sensor but the above was the cause of my near death experience in a Toyota Corolla. I briefly stopped to check my tyre pressure on a trip from Ondo state via Ife to Ibadan , after moving few meters from the vulcanize accelerating gradually above 60km/h to continue my regular 140km/h speed, I pressed the brakes for no reason and it went flat . Luckily no car in my front but how do I stop an automatic car at that speed?; I tried to put the car in park but it did not enter , I tried to put it in D2 but still no luck. My wife was already shouting Jesus and all manner of things while bracing for impact. Last last a thought occured to me to pull the hand brake. The car stopped . Don't ask me where is your Benz because I will tell you it's at the mechanic and they are telling me a story of half a million after spending half a million already.

Mine was
I got a job to transport some surgical equipment from lagos to Abuja . As usual , I left lagos past @ night . Got to Abj quite early as I ws heading to Utako , just by city gate FCT , with the usual early morning traffic , I applied breaks, e no catch o , pumped the break pedals like it was an Olympic final game , still zero friction , thank God I was @ the last lane as there was an E-class in my front ,I left my lane & faced concrete slab used for road diversion to staduim & slammed into it . Lots of damages , thanks to FRSC on stationed there .

Have you experienced brrakfailure while driving or in a vehicle/ bike .
Kindly share your experience..

I can't speak for all vehicles tho.. But the ones I have owned and driven all have a brake fault warning light.

That warning light illuminates when a brake light bulb dies, a brake switch becomes faulty, there is a faulty handbrake or handbrake is in engaged position, if the brake fluid guage sensor becomes faulty, or if Brake fluid drains below minimum threshold..for some vehicles sef, a faulty ABS system will also trigger the brake light.

The major cause of sudden vehicle brake failure in motion is a torn and leaking brake hose.. And the brake system hardly ever looses all pressure at once.. The brake pedal will keep getting flatter until all the brake oil drains out.. And the brake light will have illuminated long long before all the brake oil drains out..

You as driver wey no notice brake light wey on or ignore am, and also didn't notice that your brakes were getting flatter, na you dey find wetin go kill you.

Elxandre:

You should have put it in neutral.

Cantonese:


Oya, how?
Which one be automatic car, which one no be automatic car, inside brake matter.

Bros no fall people hand here abeg.

WeirdAlien:

Neutral will only put you on free rolling. Engine braking is your best option when all fails. Switch off your engine at the current gear. Make sure not to lock your steering wheel so you can swerve. Your car will slow down much quicker than if you use neutral.

Handbrake was his best option in that case, don't just engage it too sharply.

If one fly comot, shey the other three for the other tyres fly comot?

It will take an extreme kind of deliberate sabotage or carelessness for that to happen

Also, I'm working with Dangote Transport and I'm telling you our trucks CANT fail brakes too

CandyOps:
Before your brake go fail e go give you warning. Na you choose to ignore the warning.

Na so I carry my 2001 car wey my inlaw give me as collateral for loan dey move. Normally the car get maintenance issues

E give me first sign as I match am e take longer time for it to engage or catch.

I just talk ''Hmmm'' for my mind 😂

I think say it's nothing serious. My guyyy ......
Na so I enter road, I done drive like 2km or 3 before I jam check point.

Normally ndi nwa must ta si somebody.. so dem park me. After search no drivers licence then and incomplete papers.

We beat price agree 10k
Them say them go join my for Moto carry me go their own POS person.

Na so we enter o. 1 cop dey passenger side and 3 dey back. Their bus come dey follow us for back. E be like them use me close work that day

I just dey match throttle softly softly because I done notice the sign again. The police guys wey dey back dey ginger say make I fire the motor! Say whether I no sabi drive ??

I no even reply am because I no want make them panic lol

Na so we reach red traffic light. I stop car. Few seconds later, e turn green. My guys, I release brake car move small I match brake I hear "fvvvum!" E no catch !..

And we were on the end part of a slope lol
Motor dey glide down slowly without brakes ... the motor come dey run free wheel...

If you done dey ride bicycle before when the chain cut you will understand excatly how it'll feel when you are in a moving car.

I swevred quickly to the right to avoid hitting the mini-bus less than 25 metres in front of me.

By then Police done notice this is not business as usual

Them done dey shout, "match brake! Match brake!"

I done pull auxillary gear already but that one be like na e done spoil years ago because it didn't work. 😂😭

By now the car has swerved off the road now and moving towards the shurbs the divided the main roads from the sidewalk curve.

Next thing I heard for motor Na, "Blood of Jesus!" 😂😂 I no know say Ekelebe sabi God o

I tried my best to avoid all vehicles because I no wan dey fix my car and person own so I headed straight for the gutters 😁

Thankfully, a leftover metal signpost stub got weidged underneath the bumper and stopped the car. Lol

Them carry me go station say make I write statement say I attempted murder of 4 policemen


Last last I pay 30k comot there then came back the next day to take my car

I say

Zane2point4:

Brake pads are 2 pairs in each wheel, so how can?

Elsueno:
Mine didn't fail per say, but i thoroughly & practically understood why ABS is good for cars...I impatiently overtook a large DAF vehicle without actually noticing dat a car stopped a bit further Infront...I smashed d breaks all through as I was speeding omoh, couldn't swerve either side due to heavy concrete demarcation on side & the large DAF on d other..I just looked on straight & prayed my airbags are functional... fortunately I stopped b4 hitting d car in front of me

symbianDON:
Funnily, your ABS had absolutely nothing to do with that. In fact, if your ABS had kicked in, you would actually have slammed into that truck. Contrary to what most drivers think, ABS actually 'releases' your brakes and not the opposite! ABS stands for anticlockwise braking system......designed to keep your wheels from slipping, which can cause your vehicle from veering off course. ABS is NOT automatic braking system.

Olumighty123:
Yes, was driving through mobolaji bank Anthony way, going to yaba to be precise. Just before leventis, there was this usual traffic, na so I apply brake e no catch, see me swerving to different lanes just to avoid bashing into cars, I sha manage to stop. Naso I dey breath heavily. Found out the brake oil had a leakage.

Elxandre:

Neutral disengages the engine which drops the speed unless you are rolling down a slope.
But I'm not expert anyway, just what I learnt on YouTube and the likes. 😁

WeirdAlien:


On a level ground every gear has an ideal engine rev speed, usually close to your idle engine rev. If you gas down on that gear and release the throttle, the engine will force itself back to that rotational idle speed. So if you're moving, each time you release the gas without matching the brakes, your car will slow down due to engine resistance. It's called engine braking. But if you put it in neutral, the car will keep rolling until gravity prevails on it.
When you switch off your engine normally, it forces itself to stop rotating, so if any of the gears are engaged, the engine will eventually force the car to stop, even if it was going down a slope. The lower the engaged gear, the quicker the car will stop.
There's some physics behind it. Manual drivers will relate more.

So if everything else fails and you can't stop the car, switch off the engine. Power steering will become very heavy but your adrenaline rush will give you strength. Beware not to lock your steering wheel with the ignition key.

Dangote truck brakes can't fail or what?
The truck that ran into that Adekunle Ajasin University student then, what explanation is best for that?

The one that ran into my 1999 benz c180k that it caught fire nko? Dangote trucks no dey fail brakes truly....

Na the brake dey fail the truck na
