What to do if the brakes fail while the vehicle is in motion

Brake failure during driving can be said to be the most terrifying accident, a little carelessness may lead to the tragedy of car crash and death, what to do if you encounter sudden brake failure?

1.Lack of maintenance of the brake system, many impurities in the brake master cylinder, poor sealing, and excessive dirty brake oil;

2.malfunction caused by improper operation;

3.The personnel on the vehicle are overloaded, and the inertia of the vehicle operation increases, resulting in failure;

Control the direction according to the road conditions and speed, disengage the high-speed gear, and switch to the low-speed gear. In this way, the engine has a lot of traction resistance and the vehicle slows down quickly.

At the same time, it should be combined with the handbrake and continuously pull the handbrake back and forth to achieve the braking effect. However, it cannot be pulled to death at one time, so it is easy for the rear wheel to lock up, and the side slip or rollover will occur. Hold the steering wheel tightly and control the tires so that they don't let it move. If it is an electronic parking brake, it can be pulled up and pressed multiple times.

If the brakes fail when going uphill, you should adjust to the low and medium gears at the right time to maintain sufficient uphill power. If you need to stop in the middle of a hill, go in low gear, tighten the handbrake and jam the wheels with rocks or other objects in time. If the vehicle slips backwards, turn on the rear of the vehicle to the safe side, and turn on the headlights and emergency lights in time to remind the front and rear drivers.

If you encounter brake failure when going downhill, you must quickly force the car to stop and get out of danger, and you should use mountains, large trees or dirt slopes to create resistance for the car.

If you can't find the right terrain or obstacles, use the bumper or the rigid part of the car to rub against the curb wall or guardrail, and remember to keep your hands on the steering wheel.

Usually, regardless of whether there is a situation during the driving of the vehicle to test the braking performance, in case of brake failure, you can also gain time to control the speed of the vehicle, which is called predictive braking.

It is extremely dangerous for the brakes to fail during driving, so it is recommended that you must carefully inspect the braking system before preparing for long-distance driving or walking on special terrain.

When the downhill brake fails and the speed of the vehicle cannot be controlled by the mechanism of the vehicle itself, the driver should decisively use natural obstacles, such as rocks and trees on the side of the road, to cause resistance to the car.

Emergency measures can be taken to perform emergency braking or other measures.

I think this is the time to avoid directions with more traffic and turn to the side with fewer vehicles.

Is this a big problem? It is best to find a place with a lot of resistance for the car to slow down automatically.

Brake time, then you can pull the handbrake to stop quickly.

If the vehicle is recognized in reality, it should take advantage of the natural obstacles around the road to park.

Don't be in a hurry when you encounter this situation, and see if there are any open spaces around.

This should not be the case, because electric vehicles are now being promoted. New energy turned out to be on the line.

1.Take advantage of obstacles. If you can't grab it in the low gear, don't panic, at this time, you should carefully observe the road conditions, see if there are mountains, rocks, trees or dirt slopes around, and use the bumper, compartment and other rigid parts of the car to rub and collide with obstacles on the side of the road to achieve the purpose of forced parking.

It is necessary to pay attention to the steering wheel with both hands to avoid shaking the steering wheel and injuring the hand bones.

2.Try pressing the brake pedal a few more times to increase the chance that braking force will recover. When you find that the brake pedal is failing, you must try to release it and then press the brake pedal, which can make the brake equipment containing air in the oil pipe add pressure, and then with repeated pressure, you can increase the chance of braking force recovery.

3.Intermittent and short-term use of the handbrake to see clearly, it is not a one-time pull of the handbrake and it is over, it is an intermittent short-term handbrake pull. The vehicle downshifts, and after the speed of the vehicle drops, the handbrake is used intermittently for a short time, relying on the handbrake to finally bring the vehicle to a complete stop.

Remember, be sure to pull the handbrake quickly and then put it down immediately, and do it quickly. Because if the handbrake is forcibly pulled, it will cause the handbrake line to be broken or the vehicle to lose control. Therefore, the car can only be forced to automatically downshift by frequently pulling the handbrake.

4.Turn on the emergency lights to alert nearby vehicles. In the emergency situation of brake failure, many drivers only think about how to slow down the vehicle, and ignore the warning of the surrounding vehicles.

There is nothing wrong with this, but if you take slowing down measures and turn on the double flashes and honking the horn to attract the attention of the surrounding vehicles, the success rate of self-rescue will be higher.

5.Stay calm at all times. When the brake system is found to be out of order, the driver must be calm, do not panic because of the loss of control, and do not step on the brake because of the failure, which is counterproductive. Calm, calm, and adjust your mentality can minimize losses.

I think there should be emergency measures, don't you think so?

The braking system is an important system of the car, which determines the safety of people's driving. Once the brake is damaged, brake failure and so on can occur. The probability of a car accident will skyrocket, and many major accidents are caused by brake failure.

Use obstacles. Don't panic if you can't get into a low-end car. At this time, it is necessary to carefully observe the road conditions, see if there are mountains, rocks, trees, slopes, etc., and use the rigid parts such as the bumper and compartment of the car to rub and collide with roadside obstacles to achieve the purpose of forcibly stopping the road.

Pay attention to your hands and hold the steering wheel tightly to avoid shaking the steering wheel and injuring the hand bones. Press the brake pedal as many times as possible to increase the probability of braking force recovery. When the brake pedal is found to be invalid, you need to try to release the brake pedal and press it again, which can increase the pressure of the braking equipment containing air in the oil pipe, and then press it repeatedly to increase the chance of braking force recovery.

If you use the handbrake intermittently, you can see it clearly. It's not just a handbrake, it's an intermittent handbrake. When the vehicle downshifts, after the speed of the vehicle decreases, the handbrake is used intermittently and temporarily, and finally the handbrake is completely stopped.

Remember, be sure to pull the handbrake quickly and then put it down immediately, and do it quickly. If the handbrake is forcibly pulled, it will cause the handbrake cord to break or the vehicle to lose control. So the car can only be forced to downshift automatically by frequent handbrakes.

Turn on the emergency lights to alert nearby vehicles. In the emergency situation of brake failure, many drivers only think about how to slow down the vehicle, but ignore the reminder of the surrounding vehicles. This cannot be said to be wrong, but if you turn on the double flash and honk while taking deceleration measures to attract the attention of surrounding vehicles, the success rate of self-rescue will become higher.

Stay calm at all times. When it is found that the brake system is faulty, the driver must calm down, do not panic because of loss of control, and do not step on it because of brake failure, which will be counterproductive. Calm, calm down, adjust your mentality, in order to minimize losses.

Millions of car purchase subsidies.

If the brakes suddenly fail while driving, it is very likely that the car will be destroyed and people will die, and mastering some emergency measures may be able to save the day. Generally speaking, brake failure is mostly found when the car is going downhill, and only when going downhill, especially downhill, there is no brake, which is more serious.

What should novices do if the brakes fail while the vehicle is moving?

1.According to the road conditions and speed control direction, disengage the high gear, and at the same time quickly blow a kick of empty oil, and change the high gear to the low gear. In this way, the engine will have a lot of traction resistance and quickly reduce the speed of the vehicle.

In addition, the handbrake should be used in conjunction with downshifting, but care should be taken that the handbrake should not be too tight or pulled too slowly. If the brake disc is pulled too tightly, it is easy to "lock" the brake disc, which may damage the transmission components and lose the ability to brake. If pulled too slowly, the brake disc will wear out and ablate, losing its braking function.

2.If the brakes fail when going uphill, you should lower into the middle and low gear in time, and keep enough power to drive to the top of the uphill to stop. If you need to stop in the middle of the slope, you should keep the forward low gear, tighten the handbrake, and the personnel with the car should use stones, skids and other things to jam the wheels in time.

If there is a phenomenon of slipping backwards, the rear of the car should face the hillside or the safety side, and the headlights and emergency lights should be turned on to attract the attention of the vehicles in front and behind. 3.When the downhill brake fails and the vehicle's own mechanism cannot control the speed, the driver should decisively use natural obstacles such as rocks and trees on the side of the road to cause resistance to the vehicle.

If you can't find a suitable terrain or object to use for a while, you can move the side of the car closer to the hill in an emergency, increase the resistance through friction, and gradually reduce the speed.

4.When the vehicle is descending a long or steep slope, apply the brakes with or without conditions. Not only can it check braking performance, but it can also gain time to control the speed of the vehicle when the brakes fail, also known as braking.

If it's uphill, then the problem won't be a problem, and as long as the oil is collected, there's no reason not to stop. However, at this time, it is necessary to pay attention to one point: because the uphill slope must be in gear, so it is necessary to prevent the backward slip, pay attention to the movement of the rear car, and try to play a good direction, so that it is best to avoid collision with the rear car.

If the car behind you is very close, add more fuel and pull over as much as possible to collect fuel.

5.The use of rigid parts such as the bumper and compartment of the car and the friction collision with natural obstacles (rocks, trees or slopes) on the side of the road to achieve the purpose of forced parking and escape, as far as possible to reduce the accident loss.

If you can't avoid a car accident, throw away the hard objects in front of the bridge as soon as possible. In short, don't leave your phone, knife, perfume bottle, pen, drink bottle and the like on the bridge, otherwise you will get these on you in a car accident.

1. Find the problem in time to slow down and stop.

It's important to practice good driving habits! When driving on a flat road, you should also pay attention to the braking situation, once you find that the braking distance becomes longer, the brakes are not effective, you should pull over or slow down in time, and you can't continue to drive at high speed. Vehicles driving on the highway shall stop in the emergency lane in time and call for rescue.

2. Reasonable use of handbrake to control the vehicle.

Before encountering a continuous downhill section or a sharp downhill section, it is best to tap the brakes to see if the brakes are useful. At this time, if you find that the brakes are failing, try pulling the handbrake first to see if you can stop the car. When pulling the handbrake, you must pay attention not to pull it to the end or pull it too fast, which is easy to cause the handbrake to be damaged and malfunctioning, and you should slowly force the handbrake to the end.

3. Appropriately reduce the gear to control the speed.

If the handbrake slows down slowly or the handbrake fails, you should try to use the method of forced gear reduction (commonly known as gear grabbing) to slow down the car with a low gear, so that the speed of the car slows down, and then cooperate with the use of the handbrake to slowly stop the car.

1) Manual transmission model: The clutch pedal should be pressed immediately, and the gear lever should be placed in neutral position, so that the power will not be transmitted to the wheels, and then the car should be slowly parked on the side of the road, turned off, checked or called rescue.

2) Automatic transmission model: Try pressing the brake pedal down, forcing the brake can basically reduce the car to a very low speed, and then push the gear lever to the N gear (neutral) position and pull over.

4. Look for emergency refuge routes.

If the handbrake and forced downshifting methods do not work, then you need to sound your horn loudly, turn on the emergency lights, remind the vehicle in front to give way, and find a suitable road section to slow down in time, such as an emergency avoidance lane on uphill roads, highways and continuous downhill sections. The emergency refuge lane is on the right side of the main lane, and many highways will be set up on the continuous downhill section or the downhill section of the highway, if the brakes fail, you can try to enter the emergency refuge lane, and the lane has sand and pools of water to help slow down.

After the brake fails, whether the speed of the vehicle is reduced from beginning to end, hold the steering wheel to control the driving direction and avoid the collision is the most important emergency measure.

If the brake fails, and the city driving speed is low, you can use the method of loosening the accelerator and hanging the handbrake to stop slowly; Do not use the handbrake when driving at high speed, use the manual transmission car to slow down and stop, and then you can release the accelerator, and then slow down with the help of roadside buildings and other forced parking, do not be afraid of damaging the car, life is more important.
