greenhulk: While you are right in your submission. But you seem to be the one emphasising on HIGH SPEED. What i said didn't include the high speed and that action wasn't even the first, meaning the car must have decelerated to a large extent before putting on neutral. This just to reduce the time for the car to come to a complete stop...... |

couragemurphy: Hi speed should be considered too. You may be traveling when such problem arises |
Re: Five Simple Things To Do When You Lose Your Brakes While Driving by Nobody: 10:55am On Nov 27, 2019 |
ovkie: Sure it has to be considered. Actually one can't explain everything in details sometimes. So common sense should always be added in everything. |

Jasen1: You may sustain a major injury by ramming into a pillar or falling into a gutter. If in a city, it’s best you either hit the bumper of another car at an angle |

nurey: My old 1986 Honda Accord would never shift into gear one at 80km/h. It wont shift into reverse either. The 2007 Toyota prado i used will not do it either. At that speed, gear 1 will definitely rev the engine beyond red zone. That should damage the engine. Am sure gear 2 will enter but the risk is high if speed is higher. |

adanny01: You are absolutely right. For manual, downshifting to gear-2 will be fine...For auto, downshift to lower gears in quick succession...D3->D2->D1/L |
Re: Five Simple Things To Do When You Lose Your Brakes While Driving by nurey(m): 11:09am On Nov 27, 2019 |
adanny01: some cars won't allow that just to save Engine, as for reverse, you can't switch to reverse at anything above 10km in manual gear, it won't allow it. |

nakotee: Please whatever you do in this scenario DON'T PUT OFF YOUR ENGINE. It will lock your steering and that will be immediate loss of control. |

Just keep driving, no acceleration, and make sure your swerving game is on. Any space you see, swerve into it and keep trying your break as well. |
Re: Five Simple Things To Do When You Lose Your Brakes While Driving by Nobody: 11:42am On Nov 27, 2019 |
izywzy: Bros it’s not a good idea especially for power steering cars. Engine braking method is the recommended and reliable way to deal with brake failure to avoid heavy collision in the case of hi-speed |

Engine braking by sliding to lowest gear Never switch of your engine else u loose your power steering |

This one na really murderer Ooo Imagine ! (number 2 ) to pull hand brake up ��� on speed, pending on the speed the car will somersaults like no man's business. Best is to reduce your gear step by step from high 6 - 1 to low. |

nurey: I drive bmw automatic.. i have just D and pulling to left on D is m+/s like manual sport! Where do i have as option as a L or 1. Have survived brake failure when i used camry for two years, firstly i dont announce to fellow occupants in the car because their panics will confuse me. If am ascending hill i use N but if descending i off engine but allow the lights on for power steering effectiveness. Then my hand brake be pulled n released systematically to avoid the somersault of the car. |

Majority of the victims of failed break drivers will never remember the steps as highlighted even though they are not safety measures. I was a victim and what I did was to adopt best of the best maneuvering. |

Wealthoptulent: You will switch to sport and pull to - consistently to switch to lower gears. Switching to N doesn't save fuel, rather leaving in gear and not accelerating is better. 1 Like |

Re: Five Simple Things To Do When You Lose Your Brakes While Driving by Nobody: 1:25am On Nov 28, 2019 |
Princeofasia: Read through the thread, there are useful information that users have posted. Don't turn off engine because u will lose steering control if u do so. Ur best bet is to use low gear. First shift to hear 2, then get into gear 1. That way ur car will slow down through engine braking while still maintaining steering control to enable u steer to safety. Once ur speed is around 40km/he or below u can then use ur handbrake. Only engage neutral when car is very slow or u are climbing up a hill. Then I can turn it off. |
