Sometimes you feel that you lose grip of your car and car brakes don't work even if you try to put the car to full stop. Now there is only one option that you stop your car without brakes. It might seem to be impossible, but if you will use some certain techniques then you can definitely stop the car. Here are some methods to stop the car.


Don't Panic, Try to maintain presence of mind:

If you will get nervous, your reflexes will consequently become shaky and the more you'll not be able to maneuver the car. Overreacting will make this situation more dangerous. With alert thinking and calm approach you can think clearly and act appropriately.

Shift into first Gear:


If you have modern car and equipped with full manual transmission system then it will be easy to shift gears to slow down the car. Shifting into lower gears helps slow you by using your engine to slow car. If you have an automatic transmission , downshift a gear at a time into low range. Be careful, don't downshift too quickly, downshift rapidly. This method works by using the compression phase of an engine to slow down the car.

Pump your brakes:
continuously pumping of the brakes many times may rebuild enough pressure in the braking system for you to stop it will help control the speed of the car until you come to a full stop. If your car is going on high speed and you realize too late it's brakes are not working, chances of accident will increase. Don't panic in this situation especially when are not being able to stop the car, but keep pumping on the brakes until you are able to slow it down.

Emergency brake:
Generally emergency brake can stop a vehicle but it will take longer than usual to come to a stop cause it only stops the rear wheels. There are two types of emergency brakes, first one is the brake that can be activated by hand and the second can be activate by foot. The use of emergency brakes can be dangerous so you should do this carefully because a sudden step on the brake might cause the car to spin and worse, turn over. The wheels might shut in and the more you will lose control.
