SUBJECT 4 · BAD WEATHER & ROADS

If the braking system fails while driving downhill, what is the correct way to handle it?

A
Drive into the emergency escape lane.
B
Use engine braking.
C
Use the parking brake.
D
When necessary, the vehicle body can be used to scrape against roadside obstacles to reduce speed.
ANSWER · A, B, C, D
On a downhill, a braking system failure refers to failure of the foot brake. Engine braking can be used to slow the vehicle until it stops. In an emergency, the car can also be stopped by rubbing against roadside obstacles to prevent a larger accident. The parking brake refers to using the handbrake; it does not have to be pulled all the way and can be applied gradually to slow the vehicle. All four options are therefore correct.
