If your brakes suddenly stop working, what should you do first?
- Pump the brake pedal several times to build up brake pressure — Correct answer
- Immediately turn off the engine
- Steer sharply to the side of the road
- Speed up to find an exit
Explanation: If your brakes stop working, first pump the brake pedal several times. This will often build up enough brake pressure to allow you to stop.

If pumping the brakes does not work, what should you do next?
- Use the parking brake slowly, ready to release it if the vehicle skids — Correct answer
- Pull the parking brake all the way up as hard and fast as you can
- Turn off the ignition while moving
- Open the door and drag your foot on the road
Explanation: If pumping the brakes fails, use the parking brake. Pull on the handle slowly or slowly press the emergency brake pedal so you will not lock the rear wheels and cause a skid; be ready to release it if the vehicle starts to skid.

If both the regular brakes and the parking brake fail, what should you do?
- Shift to lower gears and look for a safe place off the road to stop — Correct answer
- Continue driving normally to your destination
- Shift into a higher gear to coast faster
- Press the gas pedal repeatedly
Explanation: If the parking brake fails too, start shifting to lower gears and look for a safe place to slow to a stop off the roadway. Do not drive a vehicle without brakes.
