Session 33: Vehicle Emergencies pt. 1
Exam Q&A 100% Guaranteed Pass
Brake Failure - ✔✔If your brakes stop working:
- pump the brake pedal several times. This will often build up
enough brake pressure to allow you to stop.
- If that does not work, use the parking brake. Apply the parking
brake slowly so you will not lock the wheels and cause a skid. Be
ready to release the brake if your vehicle does start to skid (by
holding in the brake release button or holding the foot brake
release, you can avoid having the parking brake lock up).
- If that does not work, start shifting to lower gears and look for a
safe place to slow to a stop. Make sure your vehicle is off the
roadway. Do not drive a vehicle without brakes.
Tire Blowout - ✔✔If a tire suddenly goes flat:

, - tightly hold the steering wheel and keep the vehicle going
straight.
- gradually slow down. Take your foot off the gas pedal but don't
apply the brakes until the vehicle has almost stopped.
- do not stop on the road if at all possible. Pull off the road in a
safe place.
Power Failure - ✔✔If the engine dies while you are driving:
- keep a strong grip on the steering wheel. Leave key in the "on"
position. Be aware that the steering wheel may be difficult to turn,
but you can turn it.
- pull off the roadway. The brakes will still work, but you may have
to push very hard on the brake pedal.
Headlight Failure - ✔✔If your headlights suddenly go out:
- try the headlight switch a few times.
- if that does not work, put on the emergency flashers, turn signals
or fog lights if you have them.
