Your brakes suddenly fail while driving. What should you try first?

Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B. Pump the brake pedal quickly several times

If your brakes fail, first try pumping the brake pedal quickly. This may build up enough pressure to slow the car. If that doesn't work, use the parking brake gently.
