SUBJECT 4 · EMERGENCY AVOIDANCE
When driving downhill, how should you handle a sudden brake failure?
A
Use the emergency lane to slow down and stop.
✓
B
Shift down from the second gear
C
Hang the gear to force the car to stop.
D
Tighten the parking brake to slow down.
ANSWER · A
When brakes fail suddenly downhill, the speed will rise. Downshifting to second gear or shifting to neutral cannot stop the car. Pulling the parking brake to slow down may cause rollover. The most effective and safest way is to enter the emergency lane and use the steel parts such as front bumper and body to rub or collide with rocks, trees, or earth slopes by the roadside, forcibly stopping the car without threatening passenger safety. So the answer is to use the emergency lane to slow down and stop.
