How To Stop A Car When Brakes Fail-Driving Lesson
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In this video, I show you how to stop a car when brakes fail. If you are in the unfortunate event where your brakes don't work, you should use these steps to safely bring your car to a stop. It is really important to get your car towed to a safe location once you have brought it to a complete stop. Don't try to drive your car again once you have realized that your brakes have failed (until you get it fixed).

And what if right before you start the video they have a 2 minute introduction to there channel. And then finally tell you the following steps to take if your breaks fail and then they say “but right before we do that ladies in gents I want to discuss my favorite meal plan Hello Fresh.. and then they finally get done promoting hello fresh and now the video buffers.

Step 1: Stay calm. Step 2: Put hazard lights on to let people know you need extra space. Step 3: Downshift. Step 4: Pump you brake. (It's wort a try) Step 5: Last resort is to use your emergency brake. Press the button on your emergency brake and slowly bring it up. Quick note: Do not turn your car off to allow you to maintain power steering. If your brakes fail once, do not risk it. Have it towed for checking and repairs. You're welcome.

Welcome to low quality American education where every 16 year old can get a license and drive.😅
I had my brakes fail going 100km/h. This was many years ago and I was still pretty much a fresh driver, but I instinctively did exactly what this guy is talking about (well, except the hazard lights) and managed to safely stop - I even managed to not stop in the middle of the road, but steer on to a small patch of gravel next to the road where we waited for road assistance. A friend that was in the car with me thought I was joking when I said the breaks are not working because I said it so calmly like it's no big deal and then also handled it like it's no big deal 🤣. The guy who came to pick up the car was also bewildered by my calm reaction but said it probably saved our lives. I'm actually very thankful for this ability, it was not the first nor the last situation where I kept my head clear when most people would go in instant panic mode.
People complaining about his loud voice. Common! the guy is trying to help, u do have volume control on ur devise I think. Just turn the volume down and appreciate what the guy is trying to do here

I agree your life is more important than the drivetrain but the point he's trying to make is don't make saving your own life harder by trying to downshift with a now broken engine and transmission because you didn't take the the time to learn how to properly downshift especially if you drive an automatic you can seriously mess things up to the point where your car is just in neutral no matter what you do because you damaged your clutch plate and gears or because you damaged the fins on your torque converter.

Last year I lost my brakes. It was terrifying. Thankfully my grandpa had taught me what to do. I turned my hazards on, shifted down and voice dialed 911. I didn’t find the emergency brake in time (car was relatively new to me) and ended up traveling through two major intersections. I still don’t know how I wasn’t hit. I ultimately ran out of room and smashed into a tree in someone’s back yard. I was bruised but not seriously hurt and thank God no one else was hurt. I still have nightmares about it.

Thank you very much because i was in that same situation just two day ago. My master silynder went in my 92 4runner.
I had my brakes fail in August. I was coming up to a stop sign with a car already stopped in front of me. I had very little time to react because I was on a downhill slope. There were no cars on the opposite side of the road so all I could do was veer around the guy. It all happened in a split second and I had absolutely no time to do all the steps you are describing in the video. I DID panic of course but I was able to slow my car by dragging the wheels along the curb which worked. I went completely blank and forgot all about the E-brake. I was more concerned about oncoming traffic. Luckily for me it was a quiet time of day so I steered into the first empty commercial driveway I found and hit a pile of rocks which stopped me. If I hadn't slowed the car along the curb first, I would have gone straight into the side door of the business. I was very lucky that day!!! The guy that I passed was very rude and flipped me the bird for veering around him. My faith in mankind still sucks.

@SangreFria Imagine running at a high speed and then trying to suddenly and forcefully stop urself, you’d definitely trip and probably roll right? Trying to suddenly stop something going at high speeds always causes a sudden shift in weight distribution to the front and causes the object in question to propel forward. If I’m remembering highschool science correctly, I believe the term is inertia, where an object in motion will continue some of its path after stopping or w/e. That’s basically why. Most likely when driving ur gonna be doin 40 and above. Unlike breaks where you can control how slowly or quickly u want to stop, with handbreaks n shit there is no “slowly” if you just tug it up in a panic. U try to pull ur handbreak doing 40 to 100 and the force is gonna suddenly shift all the weight on the front of ur car and propel it into a roll

@devilsgambit738

@@thephoenix7090 hm I think what people recommend you doing usually is to take your foot off the gas, shift into neutral and just let the car go as long as possible, eventually the car will slow down enough to a speed where you can try to pull the hand break. I don’t think slowly pulling it up will help at a high speed persay, but a somewhat lower speed maybe. Your course of action should go something as follows: take your foot off the gas but keep it pumping the breaks just incase and put the car in neutral, turn on hazards + start laying on the horn to make sure people know somethings up, if you have your phone on hand try to call the cops for assistance, try to put your car onto something - like grass or dirt at the side of the road to further slow it down (not gravel tho) - assess your path, if you can see you’re coming up to a potentially dangerous area ie an intersection try to assess the safest course of action to avoid a collision, once you’re at a safe enough speed where you think you probably won’t go through the windshield, start to slowly lift the hand break I see a lot of people say to just turn the car off but do NOT do this. A lot of cars now have electronic steering (I know mine does) so while turning off the car would kill the engine -although it would still not bring you to an immediate stop as the wheels would still be in motion- it would also lock your steering and oops now you have no control over your break-less vehicle I’m sure there’s more you could do, I’m just going off the few things I know of lol
I'm from Indonesia. I like the way you speak. It is clear enough and easy to understand easy to hear for me. Your vocabularies using is easy to understand as well.
It's currently 3am that I am watching this video.. my brakes failed today but luckily I was at a speed of 50km/hr.... and I don't know how but by God's grace, I pumped the brakes repeatedly and it worked! I didn't know what I was doing then coz I panicked. It was God's doing, not me. I thank God for my life.

His advice is terrible in general, but you should watch the e brake advice in particular. The hazard lights should NOT be step 2 if the situation is time critical. He also neglected to mention the most critical step - to maneouver into open space as soon as you realise brakas have failed.

Actual and usual method of stopping a car when the brakes fail: panicking and hitting something of sufficient mass to come to come to a complete stop. Sad but true.

Great video. He is not shouting, that's just his way of talking.
Very informative 🙏🏽 I’ve seen so many local stories of people losing their life over break failure with the last story being a pregnant mother and I just had to research the proper ways to come to a stop. I knew just pulling the E break was a bad idea but it’s good to know down shifting helps. I always said in this case on a road with good shoulder I’d just veer into the grass and let the car stop on its own if possible but these other options seems great as well. Thanks for the info, it could really save lives ❤️
I like the way he explains everything step by step loud and clearly rather hear that than nothing at all. I give this video a 👍👍.

Sometimes you can make the car swerve and rock back and forth. That converts your excess speed energy into scrubbing the tires on the pavement, and working the springs and shock absorbers. Such getting rid of energy is exactly what your brakes do to slow your car. In some cases, it would be in your interests to tip the car over on its side rather than ramming straight on at speed into the car ahead. Why make others into victims because you car had a problem?

@@geoh7777 You should only swerve when you are on a wide open road going less than 45. If you know for a fact you are going to hit the car in front of you, pull the emergency brake all the way up. It will make you lose control, but it will slow you down a lot and reduce the possible injuries
I don't even know how to drive and I find this interesting 😂😂
It's crazy to me that this important advice is not taught to everyone as part of the test.. This situation and what to do when a tyre blows out.. oh and what to do if the accelerator is stuck while driving at high speeds knowing what to do in these situations can be lifesaving, thanks for sharing this vital information.

An additional comment at the end is, "Practice for a few weeks this set of steps to take to bring your car to a stop." The more this set of steps is put into muscle memory, the better. Practicing these steps may also reveal particular peculiarities about your car, such as moving the auto trans lever to a lower setting might require something additional such as pushing a button, which can be forgotten by a surprised and scared driver. It's also easy for the driver under stress to push the shift lever the wrong way.

Disagree with step 1. Granted hazard lights do provide some warning to other drivers. However in the process of hitting the hazard button valuable time is wasted. Instead step 1 should be to pump brakes and downshift simultaneously. Then hit the hazard lights. Followed by parking brake.

Why Can't i see this video BEFORE my crash 2 weeks ago?! Some people are saying to NOT pump the brake, some people said I should pump the brake, after my accident. I lost you at the shifting to lower gear. I had an old car which might not have had the gears you talked about. Shouldn‘t the first thing be pulling the handbrake after putting on hazard lights?! I tried leaving a great distance but still slammed into vehicle ahead due to massive brake failure and also because I didn't know what else to do at that moment.
