Yomieluv: The brake failed so what brake are you engaging? Stop confusing brake failure with burst tyre. |

oglalasioux: By crowded road, I mean, driving on a free road and den u came towards the crowded road or congested area of the road (traffic) either because of a spoilt vehicle on the road,or a sudden damaged area of the road and den, u tried to apply your brakes and it failed, and den u realised u are very close to the crowded road, how do u do that? I know one is not meant to be above 40km/h. But the case I narrated is mostly what happens on naija roads. |

vickylala239: I didn't give a perfect answer. I just gave suggestions. If my suggestions are terrible please ignore them and apply the one you know works for you. However, a driver who rounds a bend in top speed is a terrible driver. You don't drive at top speeds in cities and towns with gutters either except you've been drinking. And, yes, I'm in Nigeria and have been driving since 1998. |

xtivin: Because he is an old papa you believe he chose right? And how can that possibly happen in a hill climbing position? In a hill climbing position he can comfortably park the bus deep valley or not. If it's down hill I guess you must have got a very damaged car that 'papa' cannot easily settle. |

chigoizie7: You have a point. But read the topic again. The topic suggests a situation you are in motion but know your break has failed with some time to act. I guess the condition you posted is among the situations of unavoidable accidents which we hope doesn't happen. 1 Like |

1. Change to the lowest gear, 2. Manevour vehicle to safe lane 3. Apply hand brake 4 Switch off vehicle. No 4 is very important for vehicles with automatic transmissions and speedsensors. These are known to accelerate on their own without throttle input from the driver. Notorious products 2003-2008 camry. |

[quote author=kaeforum post=44747330][/quote] Switch off engine? You are bound for steering and hydraulic locks, man. Very dangerous. Applying hand break in speed of even 40km/h can send your car spinning unless you are a stunt driver. 1 Like |

oglalasioux: The truth is break failure can happen to anybody and the primary cause is carelessness but when it happens wisdom is required.But lets be sincere even an experienced driver once in a while still drives like a learner thats y we r not perfect as humans. 2 Likes |

Hmmm, my brothers and sisters no be shmall tins oh just yesterday the break of my truck failed, Gods grace + most experienced com expertise of my driver as he is a mechanic too saved us. Guess what my driver did? Within 4 seconds he drove to a pavement and scratch the front and back tyres along the pavement long enough for the roadside pavement to hold the truck. If not by now I would still be cooling off in a cell cos the accident would have been very terrible as it was even in front of traffic warden. Thank God with fellow nairalanders. I suggest the auto builders put in a second brake system mainly to be used during break faluire of primary breaking system. Cos the issue of break and break failure is too critical and involves life and death more than any other issure. Its called redundancy or something in engineering. |

I have experienced this scenario driving an automatic down a hill. Looking back now it looked hilarious, my passenger, a guy, was trying to hold the car. Thank God for that Junction that saved our young lives. |

divineappo: Most people don't know you can change gears in automatic drives. The numbers are indicated on the lever. While on it go from 3 downwards. Each downward change will reduce the speed of the vehicle. It's just for temporary measures. It can't guarantee anything. It all depends on the knack of the driver (grace of God doesn't work when one is careless). 1 Like |
