What to Do If Your Brakes Fail While Driving At High Speed

7. Use you’re surroundings to slow down, and if need be, to pull over or crash.

An inclined road, gaurdrails, gravel or dirt could all be used to create enough friction to slow down your car. But, of course, as a last resort you might have to find a spot to crash into if you feel your speed is safe enough to do that. A line of bushes or hedges, or in the worst case the back of another car, can be used to crash to halt. Keep in mind, crashing to a stop should be the last resort if all else fails.

8. Keep your seat belts on, switch on hazard lights and honk the horn as much as you can.

Considering that at this point the situation is just as dangerous to the people around you as it is to you, switch on the hazard lights, honk and make a spectacle of the situation to grab everyone’s attention to the emergency.
