What should a driver do if their brakes suddenly fail while driving?
If brakes fail, shifting to a lower gear and pumping the brake pedal can help regain partial control or slow the vehicle. This immediate action increases the chances of stopping the car safely without causing an accident, giving the driver a better chance to manage the situation effectively.
