For auto, dont accelerate, gradually, d car will slow down! But make sure u navigate well till it gets to a safe heaven....its heart intensive though.... but its always better u run a pre-check on ur car b4 driving. 11 Likes 5 Shares |

1. Don't panic or let your passengers know what's happening. Their yells will complicate matters. 2. Don't switch off the engine. 3. Don't accelerate. 4. Gradually reduce to bottom gears (for automatic drive activate extra drive gradually from 3 to one. Don't engage neutral) 5. Look out for a safe field or empty road and divert. 6. Once the last low gear is engaged the car will rev, stop and stall. Drive to stay alive. Your family needs you! 128 Likes 20 Shares |

If at speed,don't step on the brake instantly,else it can tumble. Just hold on to the steering,and try to control to a halt. 7 Likes 4 Shares |

This shit happened to me some years ago..Don't panic, get the car to the lowest speed n use the handbrake. NB: Always do a brake test before hitting the road.. Just make sure there's always resistance on the brake pedal. Prevention is better than cure 11 Likes |

oglalasioux:Its a dreadful experience. All these steps are only useful when you are not in a crowdy road and not on high speed. Regular check up and maintenance is the best antidote for brake failure 32 Likes |

For Automatic cars, please don't engage 'Neutral'. You can quickly engage 'D1'. There's something called engine braking. Make sure you don't panic, and hold you steering wheel tight. 2 Likes |

1. Don't panic 2. Remove your leg from the throttle (modified), the car's speed will start decreasing. 3. Ensure you are holding the steering firmly and be focused to navigate safely. 4. You may have to place your hand on the horn continuously in case we have some sluggish drivers at your front who have the space to clear off for you to move. 5. You may also have to put on your hazard light. May God help us all to remember all these things, cos if it dare happens our mind will not even be close to put all these in practice. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

For Manual remove ur leg from the accelerator, change to gear 1 and gradually pump your clutch. For Auto, remove ur leg from the accelerator, change to D1 as it slows down a bit pull ur hand brake and change to park. 5 Likes 1 Share |

If ur brake fail, just pray u are not in a crowded area and no go-slow. Because wateva u learn hear might not apply to ur road situation. I remember when I drove my uncle's tipper and the brake failed. Chisus! My uncle shouted 'yeeeeeeee' as he also held my leg, because there was a jeep in front of us. I could not manoeuvre the truck anywhere because I was too close to d jeep b4 realising the brake had failed After the impact, I began to sweat like a xmas goat. Then the owner of the jeep now came down, as I saw her, I heaved a sigh of relief because she looked like my old primary school mate. That was when me too got down and went to meet her. She could not say anything because she too recognised me. She just called her husband, after the call, she just told me to be careful and she drove off. My uncle hapi die dat day, because if we sell d tipper sef, we no go fit pay d gbese finish 20 Likes 3 Shares |

For a manual transmission, you can reduce the gear to gear 2 and remove your leg from the clutch, dis will significantly reduce the speed to a controllable limit. For an auto transmission, I don't know. God help us! 2 Likes |
