How to control a car when brake fails and it starts to careen?

  • First of all, control the speed of the car by slowing it down. Try applying strong, consistent pressure to the brake pedal.
  • By doing this several times, the brakes get the right pressure and they may start working again.
  • If your car is running in top gear, then downshift into a lower gear as it slows down.
  • It is very important that you don’t panic. Don’t shift to first gear from the fifth right away.
  • Don’t bring the gear into neutral when your car is still at a high speed. The car will skid out of control if you do this.
  • Do not put the car in reverse gear even by mistake, it is likely to cause an accident with the vehicle coming from behind.
  • Just use the clutch, don’t use the accelerator at all.
