Explanation
In case of brake failure, if your vehicle has anti-lock brakes, release the accelerator and shift to a lower gear. Apply the parking brake slowly while holding down the release lever or button. Rub the tires against the curb to help slow your vehicle, or pull the car off the road into an open space. If you are driving a vehicle without ABS, first pump the brake pedal hard and fast, then follow the same procedure described above.
