What to Do if Brakes Fail While Driving?
If your brakes fail, always remember to remain calm. Slowly downshift to reduce your speed, and utilize engine braking if possible. Gently engage the parking brake to prevent wheel lock-up, and keep your hands on the wheel to maintain control. Pull over to the side of the road and turn on your hazard lights to warn others.
Once you're secure, call our 24/7 emergency service on <a href = "tel: 706-832-3615">, stay in your vehicle, and we'll do the rest.

What Are the Dangers of Believing Myths About Braking Systems?
